Hello,

My NovaTac is now two years old and it was time for something new.

And this is the new light:

  • Battery: 1 x 18490 AW IMR
  • Led: 3 x XP-E HEW (High efficiency white, up to 139 Lumen @ 350mA)
  • Driver: integrated on the triple board (L334)
  • User Interface: High, Mid, Low without memory
  • Output: ca. 1000 Led Lumen and about 850 OTF Lumen
  • Reflector: triple XP-E/G TIR lens, narrow clear
  • Switch: McClicky
  • Material: Al Cu Mg Pb bead blasted
  • Dimensions: 94mm x 28mm (head), 23mm (body), (even shorter than some CR123 lights)
  • Weight: 93 Gramm (battery includet!)

Also it had to pass some tests:

Three hours at

To get warm again

Also I tested the water resistance at three Bar for three hours. (equal to a depth of 30 meters)

Thank you for watching!

impressive!

5

Very nice... is the Lux-rc one of the B series drivers? Does it now stay regulated at 4.2 volts? (I thought the older ones needed >4.8v.)

6

Elegant design and impressive output for an EDC!

Now put a clip on it .

Great job, we have a lot of very talented people here. I absolutely love this light.

10

Yup. Very impressive light.

11

Looking good!!

Any pics from the tail?

I especially like the bead blasted finish. Why did you go for the very uncommon 18490 format instead of 18650/18700?

13

Hello,

thank you!

It has to fit in my pocket, so 18650 batteries would be to large and 16340 batteries do not have much capacity.

No I like clips as much as I need them and because I don´t need them...

Yes, it stayes regulated. But if the battery gets under about 3.5 V you can not distinguise between High and Med.

It draws about 2.8 A at High.

Regards

Fritz

900 lumens? Those are some hard working XP-Es. Great looking torch.

i was wondering about the lumens also, but that is really awesome. can we get a beamshot?

16

That is very nice,

Would you be happy for me to put the images on the BLF Facebook?

17

And it is so tiny too! ==> Mega Cute! :-)

Very well executed light. The style is so you (judging from previous builds)

I just wonder - did you also cook the battery and the lens?

18

Very nice work

The flashlight looks really pretty!

19

Wow, that is impressive.

Of course, I designed the light

But you are right, I think it is so great that every "designer" has hin own handwriting so you immideately see if the light is from47s, fenix, jetbeam or another brand...

Yes, I cooked everything! Actually the light was turned on on low during cooking. Perhaps the flash was too bright, here is another picture:

Also I put it in the freezer again
