Yes, and thereâs more of them in the house, my son is particularly fond of cactuses. You just gave me an argument to sell the flashlight hobby to the family
i did the first steps with my BLF GTA (Giga Thrower aspheric) Aiming to kick the Optofires ass which uses a 120mm lens as well. The light already fires up, but is bad focussed at the moment. Quick and dirty put together for a first measurement. I measured 1.7 Mcd (8metres) already - without the Wavien Collar.
Been thinking of what kind of mods for this light and started to wonder what kind of IR LEDs are available these days that would work well with the GT.
Anyone else looked into this as of yet? If so, what kind of thought/research have you done? Any IR LEDs compatible with enough output to make it viable?
Kenji, out of curiosity, where did you find a lens of the right diameter and also with (about,I see cardboard bits) correct focal length? Or were you lucky?
I was lucky because this was the only suitable lens left by Enderman at Optolife He chose the A380 lens from optolife and i bought the only one left A037. Focal length 115mm which was almost perfect for the GT from the first drawings (reflector height 120mm). So i bought this last lens in stock some months ago.
