Very first and unscientific output test using ceiling bounce. The Noctigon Meteor M43 (with Nichia 219C) set as reference with 6700 lumens at startup. Since they are both about as floody, the results should be quite comparable.
The bundled batteries are Samsung 35E with a protection circuit. 30Qs are unprotected button tops, which are barely long enough for the X7. I couldn’t activate Turbo S on the first try.
First beamshot comparisons. The Noctigon is the only really comparable, but threw in the new Acebeam EC50-II with a XHP70 and the quad XP-G2 Astrolux too.
No turbo or turbo s memory. When you want the highest output, you have to always double click twice. Moonlight (activated by long click from off) is memorized though so it comes on if you do a short click from off afterwards.
That’s some serious performance. Nice to see the well defined temperature difference between the head and the battery tube due to the threads. This also indicates how well an integrated shelf transfers heat compared to a screw in pill. Nice video!
What kind of maximum output do you get with half depleted cells? In the Youtube video, you mention in the comments that you need full cells to get turbo S. Thanks.
