I don’t have access to a lathe or whatever other device that would allow the 16340 > 18350 transformation so…even if my TO10R was sent me by Wuben for a review, if they come to offer a tube for 18350’s, I will probably buy it! (if not excessively expensive, of course) :money_mouth_face:
I know that they are probably concerned with warranty and even internal functioning of the light (and they don’t make/sell 18350´s as well), but for those who are willing to try that “battery change” and don’t have a way to mod the tube, it would be a nice thing to have a “new” tube by Wuben!
One question for you _ the _: did your TO46R had the head glued? I asked this to other members in the review threads, and apart from 1 or 2 members that received early samples, all others were glued and hard to open…
Even if we don’t get a 18350 tube for the TO10R, I wanted to try the TO46R head on the short tube, hence my question and concern about being glued or not, and on how hard it would be to “unglue” it !
I’m on the list and received PM with the price, so everything is OK for me! :+1:
I have a “request” though, about the “spare” emitters (if there will be any for sale). Earlier on the thread I mentioned I would want 1.
IF - but only IF - there are other spare emitters, I would like to add another 1 (total 2 + the TO46R I subscribed for).
This explains why the tint shift on the TO46R I measured was worse than on the TO10R and the output less than expected. The silicone dome was nowhere to be found…
The board, emitters and optics are identical so there should be no difference in the beam. Tint will always vary a bit but three emitters will probably even it out a bit. So I’d consider my TO10R tint measurements more representative of both lights.
Thanks for the explanation and tests maukka!
The thing I found most “annoying” with these LEDs was that even without the optics and lenses, there was a huge green “shift” (?) !
Hopefully that will be corrected with these new emitters
That’s what I’ve done too, and it improved the beam a lot.
It lost some meters in distance range (mostly outside) but specially indoor, it became much better!!
