What do you guys think of this colorful multi-light?

It’s odd, that’s for sure. I don’t know how it works.

It is 500 lumens on high and 250 lumens on low…might as well be a one mode light.

It’s not clear whether the color change is done with filters or with 3 emitters and how they are positioned or even switched to for that matter.

Preserving night vision with red at 250 lumens is probably not going to happen either.

it appears it could run on one 18650. But that’s prolly not the case (?). What’s kinda weird though is that I cut n’ pasted the description from where I bought it, which when googled gave me Dino’s version but it’s only in white led. Maybe some kinda obscure rare variant here? The reflector looks pretty deep hence hot thrower potential. Whatever the case apparently the Dino version puts out some lumes.

maybe i was wrong but thought i saw it at DX but it has been a while

But here it is a GoodLuckBuy

Could be great if it had red, green and blue LEDs. Light individually or all 3 to make white light. I have some colored wands I got for the kids in those colors. I took all three (r,g,b) and held them together and got an incredibly high CRI light from them that lit up the bag or Doritos I stuck them in with vivid color.

I think I made a sound flashoholic impulsive decision. 8)

If you get tired of the colors WF-500 drop-ins should work. This one is a little expensive at $28 but it is a good thrower. It works on one 18650 with a 32 mm spacer when you remove the extension but it’s not very bright. http://dx.com/p/5-cree-r2-5-mode-1200-lumen-white-light-drop-in-led-module-52-7mm-42mm-8-4v-max-35242 Or you could get the bare host at M/F for $13.

It would need a diffuser however and therefore wouldn’t be a thrower. The colors focus at different points and require diffusion.

The drop in I remember had a Q5 or similar for white and an an old style LED bulb for color.

pics and the reviews, I’m hoping they’re all Q3’s. But who knows. This is gonna be an interesting gamble. What I get is ultimately up to the whims of the Chinese Flashlight CrackerJack Prize Gods. :davie:

Oh well, I can always adapt it to something else. I’m feeling sorta lucky.

Update: Scrolling down the page, I just found what looks like a close-up of the three emitters assuming I’d be getting the same lite from Alldaymall. The reflector below is OP. If the Alldaymall unit is a thrower then I’d would kinda expect an SMO.

Does anyone know what these red & green emitters are? The white looks Q3. The other two, I’m not sure.

I think this light is pretty cool. I was looking for something like this at one point. Tempting at $22 just for the novelty….

…………….

I was going to use it…. well I don’t know what for… It was when those quarks with the rgb mc-e were around

…………

They sorrt of all look like the XPE green and red I saw at illumination supply it memory serves me.

What light takes a 3*Cree P4-WC 3-Mode White+Green+Red Tricolor Drop-in LED Module (52.5mm*42mm/8.4V Max) 52.5 mm? That’s smaller than the hd2010 clone with triple XMLs?

a TR-500 does if you can believe the specs are accurate which like China-lumens ah well that’s anudder story.

Well at least if indeed you’re right and they’re XPE it’ll throw pretty decent.

I’m all for the purchase as long as it has an “SOS” mode on the red and green outputs :wink:

I just hope he gets it in time for Christmas :wink:

neighborhood singing Christmas carols whilst I strobe their astonished faces with the green and red.

This’ll be a Christmas they’ll never forget. :smiley:

in its sinister potential to cause mayhem.

“While rare, the condition can be triggered by flashing red lights in people who are genetically predisposed.”

“Brandon said he doesn’t remember anything until he woke up on the theater floor, but Kelly said he was, “convulsing, snorting, trying to breathe.”

And does anyone remember the scene in the movie, The Andromeda Strain, with the flashing red light and the gal who goes haywire whenever she sees one?

Ooooooooooooooooo noooooooooooooooooo I may end up going to jail.

If I remember right, there is a small percentage of people predisposed to seizures to different colors. Some may be red, some other colors. Certain mixtures of colors can have seizure effects on people. That’s why you see seizure warnings on video games.

If you remember the old game Ecco the Dolphin ? I get blurred vision and headaches from playing
