Hum, why does it look like a flawed design? Can you please elaborate on that? Thanks :+1:
BTW, normally this manufacturer delivers good quality flashlights, despite some issues here and there in different models (or in some units).
All that Aspheric means is that curve of the lens is not a portion of a sphere. That means all sorts of unusual shapes can in fact be part of the lens design, and such shapes could easily be utilized to correct for the fact that the LED’s are not in the center. The ability to do such things is part of the attraction of aspherical optics.
Amutorch did warn their customers advance, on the beam artifacts for such LED configuration. However, it would not be noticeable as the edges go beyond your field of view when you shine 2.5 m/ 8ft away.
Do ignore the tint as my wall is not pure white in color.
I missed it too freeme, thought they were in series.
So, laid out like this once again the question begs to be asked … why? The positive trace is so close to those screws that would short the entire thing out, why not just flip the emitters and put the positive in the center?
Manker/Astrolux got this so wrong in the quad when I sent the Quad X5 to Neal and they copied it, I believe I’ll withdraw from this light like I did that S41 a while back. Sorry.
