And it easily hits a hay barn at 1.02 miles distantā¦
I tested it with Samsung 18650ās, both 35E and 25S, it makes from 4300 to 4800 lumens and a quick 5M test (too close I know but it was still daylight) shows 1.71Mcd!
Edit: Worth mentioning that the beamshots here and on the write up were done using the 35E cells at lower output. I have new 25S cells arriving todayā¦ the ones I tested with have been, well, Hamāred!
Today I put a Oslon HX Boost HL in my GT Micro. I had bad luck getting a good focus, but it still more than doubled in throw compared to the XPL-HI NW.
It out-throws the FT03 with 50.2.
Another Jet II MK. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is my very first reflow
Some time ago I modded my C8 (SMO to OPR and XP-L Hi to XHP50.2, A6 driver) and was left with a very nice XP-L Hi U6-4C MCPCB. Now this LED resides on the original board of the Jetbeam. Iām really proud .
Added a bleeder resistor (stock tailcap works ok without one, but not my custom tailcap - it needs a dependable current path). Used a 0603 footprint 750 Ohm resistor stacked across the main capacitor (see the yellow circle in the picture).
Swapped the black tailcap for a very light green GITD one (link). The only problem with these is that they donāt have a ānubā inside, so you really need to press in order to activate the switch. To address this, I put a dab of clear silicone caulk in it and let it cure. Works great now. This lets a TON more light through than the stock black tailcap.
Stripped the stock illuminated switch board, which is a similar set up to the Convoy add-on illuminated tailcap that utilizes a clear plastic washer to let the light get to the tailcap (albeit, somewhat inefficiently).
Attempted to strip the gold clip, but failed. After a 30 minute bath in a strong lye solution, the coating didnāt budge at all. It probably is real gold plating. Itāll stay for now. Iāll probably either just remove the clip or grab a stainless one from another light.
Yāall probably know that the X6 is one of my favorite lights, right? Like, I have some 19 of these and more than 12 different emitters in use. So today I put the 90.2 in an X6, serial number 62 in the SS/Cu Limited Edition light. Really nice look, really nice power!
Using a Samsung 25S 18650 it pulls 25.5A at the tail for 5190 lumens at start (too hot to hold in 20 seconds), makes 100.6Kcd for 651.25M throw. Me Like!
