If you have one of maukka’s calibrated lights (he sells them), he also includes the lux measurement. I asked him and he says he places it on a mount 1m away from his lux meter. So you could compare your lux meter to a calibrated light at 1m too!
My lux meter reads 3% lower than maukka’s readings.
I have comparable lights which are similar to maukka’s lights, we have conversated about it before, my readings are very close.
But still, let’s say it has a deviation of 10%, @5540 Lux on 10m would still make it 5000 Lx or 500kCd
Sorry it took so long….
Mod’s
66mm Lens (takes shimming to focus) but has a shorter 25mm FL
Driver (requires 20mm to 22mm adapter)
You do have to drill & tap the body, as stock emitter is just pasted with a plastic retainer
Thanks FC! Very nice build, impressive and beautiful beamshots!
TFC that is 500 plus KCD light for sure 
Thanks guys , I’ve done my best with it, maybe someday i will get my paws on a collar for it 
it’s certainly worth keeping an eye out for these older crelant models there are still some floating about new.
That said I’d really like to see Convoy produce some aspheric hosts 
I have several Crelant lights (5 or 6) and have always considered them of good quality.
If you can get your hands on 7T40 with white flat you can get a really good small form factor thrower light.
Not seen that one, but it looks pretty similar to the V6CS that i just grabbed with the SCH86 head basically a small version of the one above the stock driver also puts down nearer to 3.5A which is nice
7T40 has about 15% deeper reflector, produces very sharp beam.
I have this one in C8+.
If you shine it on the wall you notice that led is rectangle and not square but I also have the one you mentioned just didn’t put it in the host.
Is 6A for CSLNM1.TG too high?
In a flashlight build almost certainly yes. Led4power found a maximum at 6A but it was a bare led with maximum active cooling. My bare led test did not even find 6A max but 5A.
So my best advice would be 4.5A, in a very well cooled build maybe 5.
Btw, see the OP of this thread, interesting read.
Thanks! I need to add a lot of resistence to get down to that
I’ve found no detectable gains after 4.5amp for either CSLNM1.TG or CULNM1.TG in a flashlight, neither turn angry blue nor do they get any visibly brighter to the eye either IMO you’re just wasting amps after that point
There maybe a VERY TINY increase between 4.5 & 5 in a chunky host like the L2 with a CULNM1 but im not sure if it is just wishful thinking on my part
A lux meter may say different but you certainly won’t see it with your eyes
Edit: Having now taken some lux readings it appears i was incorrect while CSLNM1.TG does not really gain beyond 4.5-5A CULNM1.TG definitely gains up to 6A
Thank you, need to go with a battery that can add more resistence I think. I’ve extended the wires considerably and went with a longer spring and it dropped some but not by much.
Is it common to go with a 22-24 guage wire from driver to mcpcb to get more resistence?
What driver are you using?
MTN-17DDM
You could add an actual resistor in the circuit. I never used them yet but I bought some 2512 resistors for that purpose that can be glued somewhere inside the driver cavity with arctic alumina adhesive. Link.
