[♛ FreemeGB] Amutorch TC500 (upgraded) 2200lm* 21700/18650 Flashlight Group Buy - ACTIVE

Shouldn’t SST-40 be the same as XML2 die-size-wise?

Interested

The Amutorch Ali store indicates these specs:

Looks like the Philips Luxeon has similar stated lumens as the SST40 of 2200 lumens.

*“pure purple base plate” = I think it’s from Chinese-to-English translation inaccuracy and probabably means “pure copper base plate”

Not really. As already stated, SST-40 has XM-L2-like die size so it’s much throwier than XHP50.2,
Luxeon V is floodier.

Are you sure the Luxeon V is floodier than the SST-40?

The Luxeon V has a smaller footprint (4040) .

The Luxeon V is similar to an XP-L HD. The die size and the dome are more important in determining flood/throw than the ‘footprint’ or package size (3535, 4040, 5050)

Luxeon is flip chip and flip chips are flooders usually.
But this time that’s not the case, I was wrong and stock they offer practically the same cd/lm.

Note that SST-40 can be dedomed with great throw improvements. With Luxeon V the improvements are marginal.

Thanks Agro for looking into it.

So, we should expect similar basic characteristics with the sst-40 and luxeon V. (Lummens and throw)

And both leds are ‘rumored’ to have minimal tint shift.

So I’m guessing the biggest difference (apart of-course from the tint) will be Amperage draw in direct drive.

Do you know which led has a smaller Internal Resistance?

Hard to tell. You may see in the Luxeon V thread that I linked to that 2 samples from different sources that Koef3 checked had very different Vf.

Is there a code for the pre-order already? Interested to try the Philips Luxeon V model…

Ordered Philips Luxeon model

Any information about mode spacing?

Also, is anybody familiar with Amutorch drivers? What should we expect in terms of efficiency?

Ordered one yesterday and it said “only one left in stock”. Showed to have shipped this morning. Of course we all know how Banggood is with inventory.

Mine got shipped on the 9th, with expected delivery date on the 20th.
