I’m very unfamiliar with Niwalker but the MF5SV1 looks like a great design! I’m assuming it’s switchable between the 2x XHP 70.2 for flood and the single XHP35 HI for throw?
I feel like I’ve come across the Niwalker name around here and heard good things. Can anyone confirm?
There’s normal endorsements:
(accredited BLF member) yeah that’s a good brand and some good lights
Then there’s this for an endorsement:
(accredited BLF member) I’ll take them all!
Very interesting!
Bluesword: I can’t for the life of me tell what is different between the MM18JR and the MF5SV1! Niwalker has a terrible website and the MM18JR doesn’t have specs. same emitters, housing, reflector… Also they both state 10 000 ansi lumens even though the MF5SV1 says 15 000 also… Does anybody know?
I noticed the 1900m 905kcd specs and feel like that’s got to be one of the highest in between lights I’ve seen in a while (almost BLF GT/MF04 but more than a TN42
Speaking of the cd ratings however, Maukka did a test of the MM18JR which is rated at 730kcd and in his testing he found it produced 61 000 or 494 meters
their lumen ratings were bang on but their distance measurements made no sense given that they called 730kcd 850m. I believe I saw something on a different website stating the MM18JR has 440kcd which I believe is much closer to 850m.
Either way that’s a very big difference between stated and tested
