SBT-90.2 in the BLFGT (FACTORY) Fom Lumintop!!

That’s not as much as you think due to it being 3v. 27A x 4v is about 108 watts. The 70.2 version was about 8A x 15v or 120 watts.

Are you sure? I think the xhp35-hi was about 1.2-1.3Mcd and this version is about 1.8Mcd. Not really double, but definitely more, plus a bigger hot spot.

Great video Matt (as always)

I had to laugh, i have the same experience :smiley:

You and me both!

“I could help you find your car keys”
Best line ever in one of your videos!
LOL

Showed my wife the video and she laughed her azz of at that line.
Being I own the original BLF GT she gets it.

She was also impressed by the Nightwatch Stalker (Me too) so maybe that will be a new acquisition that is available right now.

Thanks Matt!
Later,

Keith

Add me to the intrested list lol. I appreciate the dedication and quality of your videos too.

Okay what’s the story with the mechanical switch amperage rating? Does it get hot or risk of fire?

Neuh, it will be fine. It seems to use this switch:

I tested it a few years ago and it was completely fine at 16A, and probably well over that. If the electrical connections are good I see no reason to worry.

Interested also. Now if they could do the same for the GT4

I have found the Omten switches to hold up fine til you get over 31A, then the plastic case melts and fuses the switch. (Or I’ve seen it happen, don’t know if it always will)

Thanks

Thanks!!

at that high currents you should think about an electrical solution like a MOSFET with a super capacitor

I agree that these currents are not suitable for small mechanical switches like these. But I’m still amazed what they still seem to handle. In the longterm you may not get away with these though…

For several of my lights that I know will easily sustain well over 30A I use Tofty switches from yesteryear. I have several of those in big lights I’ve made and they’re holding up good to high current, can be taken apart and cleaned if need be. Shame those are no longer available.

I would like to have one… but if the management of the shipments will be done by Neal… Discarded.

interested

Just a friendly bump for “the mother of all flashlights”. Im surprised people aren’t going nuts discussing this one.

VOB, are you still enjoying your new sample?

It is expensive so not many people are buying it and so it is not discussed as much as, say, the FT03 with this led (that is: once it starts being shipped)
