To be fair, I donāt believe the claims of most chinese sellers either. Iām sure you can find ā5000ā lumens for 5$ on ebay.
Put me down for one too please !
My thoughts exactly when I saw that post. How ironic that they donāt believe the claims found on many of their current listings. Just shows they know theyāre false advertising.
Will update list later
I kind of like it a lot they are precise here, it shows them to be serious and knowing BLF cannot be messed around with

Yeah, quite ironic considering the Chinese sell lights with partly ridiculously wrong specs and then they donāt want to believe us when we say the light can actually reach 2500 Lumensā¦ (2500 is the more understated number weāre going for)
Just to make it clear, with 2500 lm to 3000 lm output the light will overheat in about 45 seconds or so, meaning that this will be only some sort of burst mode.
Yes of course, we spec 2500 lumens
When you say āburst modeā, I hope you donāt mean to include a timed stepdown. Thereās a thermal sensor in the driver, isnāt there?
Of course, that may not change much in practice, but I much prefer lights that only reduce output in response to actual need rather than predicted need. Iām prone to doing stuff like this after all:
The beauty of Narsil, choose your own step down
either timed, with a choice on how long OR thermally, select it and choose the temp yourself

Where do I get drivers with Narsil in them?
Iām not really able to make my own drivers or flash firmware. I need to order some pre-built drivers.
Lexel has a run of TA drivers that can be fitted with AT85 MCU flashed with Narsil

Told you about Narsil, but kind of missed your pic, We donāt know if the FW3A will be abl to be submersed in water, it must be able to be used in rain that yes
And list updated

[ā¦]
If the o-rings fit properly and the light is well-made then thereās no reason why it shouldnāt have an IPX-8 rating.
Thatās great to hear about the stepdowns and throttling. I probably could have, and should have looked up the Narsil documentation myself.
As to immersion, Iām not counting on it, but if the FW3A is rated for it, Iāll do the same test. My main goal wasnāt actually to test the Primeās waterproofing (though it did prove to be perfectly waterproof), but to cool it enough for a runtime graph without thermal stepdowns. My fan was insufficient.
Ok, put me down for one please.
Yes will do.
Yes will do.
Yes will do.
Do I hear an Echo echo? Get some sleep Miller.
hahaha the page break made me miss th double posting, thanks, deleted one.
Hmmā¦ ballpark numberā¦ maybe 2017. Maybe 2018. Depends on a lot of factors Iām not informed about. Based on past project timelines, Iād be a little surprised if theyāre ready in time for Halloween.
I thought it would be ready within 1-2 months
Well, I can allocate my piggy bank account to another flashlight before this flashlight become available.
FWIW, Iām totally guessing. Itās just that these things, so far, have never been fast.
