That looks like a sick puppy right there. All those fins sure makes me think it could be driven rather hard without damaging anything. I wonder how much the surface area of that light is. It would be quite cool if it had a turbo mode where the leds got ~ 3 A each even if it is just for 3 minutes.
Of course that would take about 77 watts to the leds. Given a 90% efficient driver it would pull 86 watts off the batteries.
Using 3,7 v batteries in series (11,1V) that would need to pull around 7,75 A at the tail. That also means taking a 7,75 A per battery. So it IS within the limits of good 26650 batteries but it would give a runtime (If we assume it can be run continously at full throttle) of about 30 minutes.
So even if it arrives underdriven a 6x nanjg slave board plus one master board could take care of that. And then making a battery pack 3P1S for the batteries. I wonder if there is room to spare for this in the tube or if it is really tight?
Wait a second... What is wrong?
DAMMIT! I NEED TO CHECK MYSELF AGAIN. I AM NOT GETTING INTO MULTI EMITTER LIGHTS! They are called showerheads. They are called showerheads.They are called showerheads.They are called showerheads. DAMN YOU benckie I am supposed to be on a resisting binge. They are called..........
Its head looks just like my TR-J12 head that handles long runs no problem I'm sure this one could to. I guess it would have the same driver space as the TR-J12 since its the same host i think. I want one !
I wanna buy one too.. I will mod this one with the KD beast driver and compare to my stock J12... Damn addictions, I will never save for the production S1...
That uniquefire version does look awesome. But it really depends on drive current to each LED, mode memory type and internal construction/heatsinking design. All things which manafont doesn't give information on..
Manafont is one of my fav shop's but i would not rely of there measurements to much as they had the TR-J16 as 149.51mm wide at the head loll.
I really honestly think driven the way these multi led lights are normally your not going to see a difference in light out put the eye can see with the U2,s over the T6's.
It looks the same as the TR-J12 and the Keygos and so on to me. The trustfire TR-3T6 and the TR-J12 have proven to be good reliable lights and that can handle long run times with no heat sinking issues, with mode memory and dimming mode for low voltage.
I just ordered a TR-J12... I think its a steal at $55 shipped. It was around $80 at the end of 2011, lots of satisfied BLFers since then, and its slowly managed to drop in price since then. I don't think it will dip too much lower than $55, given where the DRY and Skyray King are currently priced.
