Thank you for the detail review.
I really appreciate and make me buy one for me.
Hi StephenK
I’m thinking of gifting one of these to a mate of mine who has a 16acre property who could do with something that lights up 200 metres but the question I have for you is the beam…. Is it more pencil or does it give good spill too at that distance?
Looking at that image id say yes but what’s it like to the eye?
Regards
George
There is some spill, but the spill beam only illuminates a much shorter distance. I’ll post a video in a few weeks to show real world use. My first attempt was too shaky.
I look forward to it
Brisvegas.
That’s not even in Queensland.
Though I do follow the Bronc’s to missus Cowboys.
Get up here to Yeppoon. Look out over the Islands.
We are the bottom end of Queensland going North.
You lot just an outer ’burb of NSW.
Gawd. U got that Palujet?
Union loving labor bitch down there.
Puuuleeez keep her there.
Love your posts on these torches.
A fairly new hobby for me.
I soldered my first tail cap spring today.
It didn’t fall offf yeayyyy.
Anyone know if the 7135*6 (2.1A?) version can run continouously without overheating?
I got a 3 chip S2+ with the low/med/high not changeable mode and really like it. My 4 chip jaxman gets a little hotter than I like.
In normal use (where your hand helps serve as a heatsink) as opposed to stationary tests, even the 7135x8 version comes pretty close to continuous running without overheating.
Compared to tube lights, the larger head provides a bigger heatsink, as well as a larger surface area for dissipating that heat through radiation and convection.
Stephenk, another great review. I love that X ray of the light and also the beam shot you took. Are you into photography as a serous or pro hobby as well?
