It even more better to had another light, for truewer flooder like light, like the Astrolux Ec01, PL47g2 or something that floodier. FT03 is dedicated for thrower, bcos it was design that way, the reflector was deeper and surface is smooth. If you take a look the character of flood light, it will be the opposite of thrower light. Something like these:
*Orange peal reflector
*Shallow reflector
*Add optics lens to even smooth the beam edge esp for multiple led
*Muliple led, more led more lumens
*Large led
*dome-on led, instead of flat surface.
stop tempting me. I have already purchased an MF01S and NI40 in the last 3 months. Might not seem like a lot but it is for me. also have an MF01 and FT03 with a cracked glass. I have to make up my mind now cause the price will go up in one day. How am I gonna do this… I mean I can’t even decide what to eat.
I was on the edge for few days myself, should i get the blue one or the green one sst40 or xhp50.2 :person_facepalming: and then decided to get one of each :person_facepalming: since none of my 4 LT1 are ready yet for me to buy, this way i`ll have something to play with for the time being.
Hope the wife don`t find out…. :person_facepalming:
What is the best 26650 cell for this light? I’m currently using Keeppower 5200 mah high drain cells. Would the Golisi 4200 mah make a big difference in output?
Normally that would make a big difference with a FET driver. The cell you have now is one of the weakest 26650 batteries (certainly not high drain) and that Golisi is one of the most powerful 26650’s.
Still, this light seems to have a limiter that keeps high drain cells from burning up the SST-40. I would still not recommend such a powerful battery. You won’t see much difference in output, only measure it. I’d stick with the PLB 5700 (shockli 5500, Keeppower 5500/6000, vapcell 5500) that has been discussed earlier.
Too high a drain battery will work, but might shorten led life.
