Hi; When I bought my unit, I think there are 2 previous orders in the site, I bought it on May 13, but perhaps I am the first arrived! :innocent:
I am happy!!!
Here my values for the nichia 219 version, and comparison with the XP-G3:
Is really a good result for the nichia.
The most important diference for me is that, with the nichia, all moonlight modes are below 1 lumen, with my pre-production sample (XP-G3) the 2 hightest modes of moonlight option offer over 1 lumen.
I do not know if all XP-G3 have option for lowest mode of more than 1 lumen or only the pre-production samples.
Thanks Trevi! Interesting on the low lumen output. Based on my guess for a 30% reduction in lumens, I was thinking the low would be around 10 or so. The 7 lumens you measure is identical to the E01 on low mode. Guess I should not be surprised, why redesign when you have the circuit already.
One question about the moonlight mode measurements, 1.5 and 0.5. Are these for the brightest setting which can be programmed for both lights? Based on what you wrote I think so.
- for my XP-G3 pre-production, there are 21 modes elegibles for moonlight, I can only measure the 2 highest, both are over 1 lumen.
With the nichia 219C, stock unit, there are 21 modes elegibles for moonlight and I can not measure any with my equipment, I think that the highest of this is less than 1 lumen.
I do not know if this diference is for stock / pre-production units or this diference is between XP-G3 / nichia units.
I ordered the Manker EO2, black, XPG3, from HKEquipment today. Got an 8% discount from Martin’s code, and Paypal was giving $5 off any purchase of $15 or more for 2 days. So I got it for $13.35 Good deal I think. Sounds like a nice lil light, brighter than any other AAA on alkaline I believe.
I guess the paypal $5 off is not active anymore? At least that did not work for me today. Too bad, I would have bought a 2nd for that price. Actually still waiting for my first though. At least it is in country finally.
