Id be in for a red one, assuming its a nice deep red quality finish… and NOT the thin washed out red ano we see on many cheap lights.
Im also interested in the emittter bin code, so thanks for asking.
Will you or someone else receive a test sample to confirm reliability, quality, amps, lux, lumens, focus, etc? I ask because there is much that can and will go wrong if the driver is not robust. Would also like to know how well the reflector focuses this emitter and how it compares to the SST40 version.
Have you discussed your swap elsewhere? I’d be interested in hearing more about it, what cell you’re using, how you like it, shots/specs, if any, etc. I did a quick search and came up blank, so sorry if I’ve missed it somewhere.
Definitely interested, if the price is reasonable. But it must perform/throw noticeably better than the SST40 version to justify the ridiculous ~25Amps draw, the terrible battery life and potential overheating issues.
So your FT03 with a De-domed SST-40 = 1780lm @ 305kcd
After SBT90.2 swap……………………… = 4990lm @ 355kcd
Although the swap increased intensity by 50 kcd, most of the addition lumens went into the spill beam and not downrange. Is that about right? As you mentioned, the reflector doesn’t seem optimized for the 90.2. I think we should hold off buying this light until someone can test a sample and confirm that adequate changes were actually made to make use of the 90.2. Seems a disappointment right now. Glad you tested it!
