Jack said E01 with Osram becomes blue light when on Turbo. Can someone explain what this means? Would it be dark or light blue, will it still illuminate objects just as well in blue? and why blue? anyone has a shot of what it would look like?
The Osram CSLPM1.TG has a very low vf so maybe it’s being overdriven. Someone needs to test the amperage to see if this is the case. Do you know what cell he was using?
Acebeam EC35 Gen II with Samsung LH351D on the left probably about 5000k. E01 with Osram PM1 W2 on the right. White balance was set to 4900K. Sorry for the poor photo quality/side by side comparison. Looks very blue to me maybe even purple. Tested 1170 lumens at startup in turbo with a Molicel P42A 21700 and a TA Lumen Tube. I tested it with a Tesla 21700 5000mAh 10A battery and it looks the same. I only used the Molicel to get a lumen reading.
I actually do like the light, but if you hate rings in the beam then you will hate this light. I do not run it in turbo but the throw is very good more than 100,000 cd for sure.
My E01 looks completely deep blue whereas yours is more like very CW. Mine does that on turbo even with the 5A NCR18650B. I didn’t measure the output on the blue mode though but at top of ramp, it measures 380 lumens. The beam is also very ringy but it’s not noticeable for outdoor use. I just wish it can hit 1,100 lumens and remain white beam. Would have been a very practical pocket thrower.
The picture doesn’t really do it justice for color temp. It looks blue/purple in real life far more so then the picture captures. If I had to guess 8,000-10,000K.
