Sorry I don’t know what driver Vinh is using. He uses his own vn or vnx drivers. I believe him and Richard from Mountain Electronics produces them. But I opted for the single mode version.
If you look sbt90.2 in this thread and the other(I forgot where), it claim outputing 4000lumen and at the same time, guess the candela? 320kcd or roughly above 300kcd. Isn’t that great if it was true…
It has long thrower and higher lumen, the beam comparison look like it has larger hotspot with greater intensity…to put thing simple, it outhrow xhp50.2, sst40 and probaly the larger hotspot in long distance you’ve ever seen, Unlike before…sorry, just my own opinion if you dont mind.
Price $30-40 for sbt90.2 bead. Host would probaly gonna cost another 30. Erm sumarise all I think we’ve got rought $60-$80. Wew exPansive stuff…
Just a thought, I don’t own but one 26650 light, a Skylumen Delta and it’s only responsible for pushing 700 lumens so I wasn’t too familiar with the cell. Thanks for your input!
To me size/ weight matters. I’d rather have a nice thrower/ flood combination light with an emphasis on throw in the palm of my hand than have to carry a large reflector strapped over my shoulder. Those lights that throw 2 or so miles exist but for most people are just a conversation piece. Human eye can hardly gainfully and tangibly make out objects at that distance to make difference. I vote for keeping head as small as possible , but enough to provide impressive throw and dissipate heat.
The one with a large reflector can always be a different version of it…
I agree, I’m actually searching for the smallest SBT90 or CFT90 high output thrower I can find. This is the smallest one I’ve found, which is why I am interested in the purchase! At a 53mm head, that is the maximum I would want for jacket carry.
The diameter of this light is only 53mm…that’s not that big….and for it to get past 200k LUX, with a ton of lumens!..… that’s amazing. This new LED is a rockstar.
Think about it this way. What would a sliced and diced 3 volt xhp50.2 do in this 53mm head? 80k LUX @ 3400LM
