any runtime graph about the 2mm2 version?
Runtime graphs are overrated, if you use a 4A cell and the light runs on 8, max 30 minutes, that is without stepdown ofcourse
So with stepdown a little longer
Just checked out your other pics, can’t wait to get mine. Better spill than I thought it would have.
Runtime graphs are very useful to see stepdowns. I can do maths and calculate that a 4A cell would run for 30 min under a 8A discharge rate, but I need to see a runtime graph to know the max sustained lumens from a flashlight and how efficient the driver is
Nice beamshot Gerrit! Is that somewhere in the Netherlands?, that little wall looks abroad-ish (or Limburg).
The spill is way brighter than I imagine for a W1. I found a pic in that link comparing the K1 with FT03.
True.
Maybe we should call them Lumen output graph instead to distinguish the difference
And I am hoping that it really does not spill anywhere near that much. I have plenty of lights that have a nice flood and am looking for a true thrower.
Maybe I really do need to be looking at lights with aspheric lenses, though the good ones seem to be much higher priced.
im tempting to get one but im very picky with thrower hot spot not focus.
Can someone confirm teh hot spot is near perfect focus?
There really aren’t any aspheric throwers that can throw farther than the K1. The only one I know of is the Microfire H20. The LEP flashlights use aspheric lens but the tint shift is so bad and the CRI is so poor that you can’t really make out what it illuminates. I own the W30vn CW, W30vn HICRI and W10G2vn CW and while they are fun to play with, they are really more toy than tool.
Texas Ace is testing an aspheric mod with the BLF GT. That would make for a very useful no-spill light.
Vinh still sells the Deerlight X with a Black Flat in it. Rates it at 670kcd.
I don’t have any problem making out what I’m illuminating with my W30 because of tint or CRI, but the beam is so narrow it relegates it to the “toy” pile.
Exactly this !
Any news on when the XHP35 version will be available?
There are.high CRI LEP lights as well.
Which I have. Tbe W30 hi cri version. Tint shifts from 3000k corona to 20000k+ center of hotspot. This extreme shift makes the hi cri useless
Now that tbe Boost HX is available, anh idea if Hank will release a version with this emitter? 800kcd?
I’d definitely buy one if he did.
