BLF style 18650 1s thrower( poor mans Olight M2X)

I got a meter reading of 190. That is with three pushes of the button so I get a reading on the screen. I have the same meter as you have. Distance is 8.58m. I’ll let you work it out here so I can note it down. Thanks Dale.

That is very good job. :+1:

Edit:
“distance is 8.58m”

8,58x8,58x1900(if you measured on x10) = 139871lux or roughly 140kcd

Cant be simpler than that :wink:

If you can’t remember any of these , just try this tool :

Thanks guys. :slight_smile:

What cd should I expect with Maxtoch 26mm + dedomed xpg2 + fet driver + centering ring tunning?

Around 260-330kcd but it all depends on which xpg2

XP-G2 S4 2B

Can’t wait until I receive all the parts :weary:

Actually my longest thrower is the Nitecore P30 with around 100.000cd

And then it also depends which XP-G2 S4 2B :slight_smile: Really I am not kidding you here. New is super bad and you should avoid and put XM-L2 or XP-L or if you have good old one than you are good to go in breaking candela records :wink:

Is there a way to know if it’s one of the new or the old ones? I bought it from mtn

Probably new, the old ones are sold out everywhere.

You can recognise the old ones by the die.
They have relatively smooth phosphor and the grid of dots are visible.
The new ones have more rough phosphor and you can hardly see the dots.

Hello, could you tell me what variant of xp-g2 is? I can not get better photography, I have one placed in UF1504, with driver BLF A6 runs at 4.7 amps with fresh cells, greetings!

Sorry to place large size so it can be viewed!

I’ll try this night with the xpg2 that I just dedomed, if I don’t like the results I’ll take the XP-L way

Looks like a new one, i can’t see the grid of dots

BY THE WAY:
I got a FAKE XM-L2 in this light. :frowning:

I got 240.000cd with dedomed xpg2, on maxtoch 26mm mcpcb and fet driver. Cell wasn’t fully charged, I’m going to try again in a while

gaston, you might want to consider putting a percentage in your photo selection, that pic is blown off even my 24” monitor…

Yes please resize mentioned pic and that is is new s42b

Edit: Or any new G2… I should not tell that it is new s42b but it surely looks like that.

Edit :beer: If I perform continuity test with multimeter, led lights up and you can see many small points, as these are concerned to differentiate old xp-g2 s4 b2 from new ones? regards

We should not spam the thread so you got plenty of info on that here

Thank you luminarium iaculator, I am reading, sorry for the deviation, I have host on the way analyzing which led to use, xp-g2, xpl hi v3 3c or xml-2 u4 1a, greetings and thanks again.

Please report further results! I am also hooked badly on this reflector light although I still much prefer aspheric lights.
