So… the D7 (instead of D17) has seven emitters. Maybe like DQG with single 26650 (Well it could be seven XH-P70 emitters buuuut I doubt that)? So I do assume Nichia option is then available for the D7.
I did some pixel counting. It’s not accurate, but I guess the tail cap is 26.5 mm, battery tube: 24 mm, head: 28 mm + protrusion. Head would be 24 mm long, tail - 23 mm.
This adds up to ~48 cm^3.
For comparison, DQG Tiny 4th 18650 is very roughly 38 cm^3, 21% smaller.
If shortened to 18350 size, this would be very roughly 34 cm^3 vs. 26 cm^3, 25% smaller.
Whatever happened with the rumors of the new Meteor I believe it was or something similar, read about a new light on the Meteor thread some time back ? Last year I believe.
Great new light Hank, and still wishing you’d start remaking some of your lights from the early days again,
Yes, thank you Maukka, I think you very well could be right,
I think because I was reading the Meteor thread when I read of a new light by Hank I may have just assumed the talk of a new light would be similar to the Meteor.
Either way, I do know only one thing for sure, if it’s from Hank it will be great so I have made a note to follow this thread more often, thanks again I do believe you are correct.
Edit: Was reading the thread back some pages from here and found someone who actually quoted the same thing I read on the Meteor thread and what my question was here, so relieved to know I wasn’t to far off anyhow, but sadly Hank didn’t catch the question or comment anyhow, but this forum member recalls the exact wording of what I read some time ago and what lead me to think a new styled Meteor was in the mix from Hank and it was as follows,
“The planned 8×18650 powered Noctigon was I believe supposed to have 9 XHP35 HI emitters for 16000 lumens. Perhaps this changed to seventeen XP-L HI emitters? Or maybe seventeen XP-G2/Nichia emitters for around 10000 lumens, but with a lot more throw than the M43?”
And rats no reply from Mr Hank, that was what I was asking about, what a light that would be, but these new lights mentioned by Hank sure do sound nice so will will be keeping my eye out
^ Hey hope is all fine Mr. T18. :sunglasses: Here’s the info Hank wrote about the new monster light, post #100 and #121:Noctigon Meteor M43 BLF Discount Buy - $50+ Discount! - MTN & Intl-Outdoor
And according to post #218 of this thread, D17 is a typo, and should be D7 for seven emitters.
Whatever this D7 is going to be, it sure ain’t no shoe lace light…
