As for “how much brighter”. I think it kinda depends on the reflector design. With flood lights, 30k vs 100k lumen flood lights, there isn’t a MASSIVE difference. Where it gets interesting is the lights with larger, deeper, reflectors with a range of 800-1000+ meters. While a light like the WS10 might be 250 lumens and 1000m, it’s a pencil thin beam. So with massive numbers like this, instead of illuminating a door 1000 meters away, you can brightly illuminate the side of a warehouse from 1000 meters away.
The reflector where XHP70.2 sit in seems to be much shallower than MS12. I think it will be much more floodier than MS12. The middle XHP35 HI will be in charged of the throwing mostly. Wonder can it hit 200kcd.
From picture it seems to be about same size with Utorch UT02, that is why I think it might hit 110kcd for the middle XHP35 HI, and the rest XHP70.2 can make up the 90kcd. Just a wild guess. :sunglasses:
That is true UT02 is weak as stock. But I think it is quite tough to reach 1800lm for Acebeam. We shall see how it perform in Q4 2018 when it is released. So excited with all these giant flashlights. Too bad not enough fund to purchase them at this price.
why no steel bezel? would look alot better imo, but curious how it will perform tho still not certain if it was a good idea ditch the internal fans? that “thing” looks sure odd haha it will be noisy as hell probably.
I should have bought DX80 when it was at $179, but i have never seen it at this price, i think i saw Jason mentioned it in some thread. This MS12 and R90C design are really not convenient to do topup charging, and i use turbo only for big lights.
The handle looks like it takes a 18650 to power the fan and the switch doesn’t control the light, I don’t see any connector for external power/switch on the flashlight itselft.
hm okay, so roughly 1 minute highest only ? not that impressive imo for that lumens a light needs some serious cooling power then it shows… i still dont get why use 18650 and not 21700 ??
Will those 18650 run on its knees or ? i feel sorry for them almost Still curious how the old proto with the 3 fans on 40k how much runtime they got etc… guess we will never find out.
This arguably is enough close range flood for anyone. No need at all for a vn version. I think the lumens race is over. There is such a thing as too much light. From here onwards refinements in cooling would be the go. The turn off once again is the small throw. Its just not enough by a long shot for this kind of output. These lights come off as boring. I know why noone is making these lumen monsters throw far, because the head will be too big.
