beamshots "Lumapower" xm-l + 3x mc-e + 3x xr-e 44mm lens ...

I made some beamshots, because I was very curious to know how perform the C8 clone lumapower mrv xm-l against my other lights.

The truth that I modified the driver of the lumapower, shorted the polarity protection diode, and got 3.5A instead of the original 2.2A.

the concrete wall is about 40m away

please don't blame my English :)

small sun zy-c60 xr-e Q5 ~ 0.6A

ultrafire wf501b mc-e 2.4A

mte ssc p7 modifed with an xm-l, OP ref and ~2.3A

TR-1200 5xQ5

3x mc-e 3x18650 ~3A

and the lumapower xm-l ~3.5A

+ some throwers

xm-l ~4A + 52mm lens

xr-e Q2 1.5A + 44mm lens

3x xr-e Q2 + 3x 44mm lens

Is the 3x mc-e 3x18650 ~3A one you put together yourself or is this something one could buy somewhere?

and long distance beamshots

The shutter speed was 3 sec, but the iso rating only 100, overall a little bit over exposed. (full moon's light on the background)

the church is 360m away

it's a "homemade" flashlight

Well I'm impressed forget the shutter speed.

How much for one like this?

Or for this one? That's a bright thrower.

How would something like a Trustfire 3T6 compare to that?

That's a good question. I don't have one but maybe someone who does can chime in.

Thanks for the beamshots .

to the first post and pictures, camera settings was the following: 1sec shutter speed, and iso200

And I think my 3xmc-e light is almost the same as the new triple xm-l flashlights, trustfire sky-ray etc..., maybe a little brighter, becasue my light sucks over 3A from 3 pc 18650. I use relative old cells with this light (~150mOhm internal resistance), because of the direct drive. It could be to drive easily over 4A/emitter with newer cells, but I dont want to overstress them.

This google translate helps me alot, but I know it's not perfect. :)

Ok I still didn't get my questions answered. Do you sell these lights are would you build a guy one? If no, I understand. Just curious.

Nice beamshots, nice 3 x MC-E too. Quite noticeable donut though. Surprised that the 5 x Q5 did not throw as well....you got the more recent versions? (only the first batch was driven aggressively)

For those who wants to buy the 100mm diameter 3 x MC-E, can try PAlight BG-03 and XTAR D31 howitzer. Expensive though.

Sorry, but this is a hobby for me and I do not want to sell or build more.

Yeah, it would be better with xm-l -or a better reflector- but when I made this light, there was not yet only mc-e. It's a DX triple reflector SKU 11922.

My tr-1200 with 2 cells goes 2.5 ampere, it's ~ 15W or more.

Earlier I made ceiling bounce test, and tr-1200 performed "35" relative value, and the C8 clone xm-l's score was "40" at 3.5A. The throw capability is almost the same for the tr-1200 and C8 clone.

Well if you change your mind let me know. I would pay for a light like that if it is reasonable.

hi! viffer750, Could you show a picture of this flashlight? xr-e 3x 44mm lens (I'm impressed).

thanks.

Your triple Q2 aspheric seems to be able to comfortably outgun the SR90. Do you have access to a lux meter?
