Well I am working on the Q16 with CAD designers Thijsco19 and Cawi
I think Texas Ace is doing something with 6S6P config and he said they had to make a driver that is basically two drivers delivering 15A each so he wants to crack out 30A, sounds promising.
The Q16 is planned to be quad emitter (is it a “Q”light) with 26650/20700/18650 cells in 2S4P
16K lumens and active cooling to have it run on that as long as possible. We have not yet talked to DEL and Tom about the driver, but it already seems challenging.
X65, forget about? Will the flashlight that this topic thread is about put more light out there at 400 yards/meters? Or will any other flashlight on the horizon put more light at 400 yards/meters than the X65? If yes, let me know, and I will buy two, one for each hand.
Goinggear in the USA has them on order. It’s probably the best place to get one if you live here even if you have to pay more just in case you get one that doesn’t work properly.
All eyes on round two. I sincerely hope Imalent delivers a quality product. If not, it’s good for a giggle. Hey I make sure I find myself in a win win situation as often as possible.
I have been doing photos this afternoon, and this evening I have given a little turn with it. The low levels are sooo hight. Spec says that low is 120 lumen, but can not to be.
Where arrived at home i have done a fast test in the integrated sphere. Low, and the middle levels are really more higher than specified (a lot of). Hight is similar, and turbo is lower than specified, but it can to be because my IS its not calibrated to this lumens. In the next days i will make a correct test.
My Integrated Sphere is home made. I calibrate it whit Fenix Flashlight in a range of less 1 lumen to 4400 lumens. The diode that I´ve employee not capture the light in a totally linear (its curvilinear). So if 1X value are 100 lumens, then 10X are not exactly 1000 lumens. By means of statistic process I can estimate the lumens of flashlight whit a 1% error margin under 4400 lumens. Values more elevated can have higher margins of error. I can see that error margin its very low at around 10.000 lumens, but in this case, the model spec says 32000 lumens….
I will can not estimate exactly the turbo lumen. But in the tonight test i,ve see that its more powerfull that Acebeam X80 (spec = 25000 lumen, 22275 in my IS).
