Ordered both versions.

Thank you for your support! [quote=andyxxx] Ordered both versions. [/quote]

I got my Amutorch AT40 with 219C leds in. It is precisely as I expected which is mostly very positive.

-a bit weird, my hand keeps trying to slide the head for spot modus :person_facepalming:
-The body seems pretty indestructable
-The clip is extremely stiff but looks cool
-the clicky feels nice and firm (have not opened it up yet to see what type it is)
-the ledboard is 22mm
-mode order is high-med-low with memory
-I measure 820-300-30 lumen (@30sec)
-I have a new toy :innocent: :

(the luxvalue has no meaning in this measurement), the colour temp is 5200K, Ra is 74.4 CRI, and there is no measurable flicker, this light is current controlled. Further the tint is exactly on top of the black body line.

If I have some modding time in the coming month, the leds and board will be swapped, for a 4x4000K Optisolis on a XM-board.

Interested

No shipping notice yetā€¦ We in the Peopleā€™s Republic of California get no loveā€¦

Do you think a MTN Quad XP, carclo optic and glass can fit in there? I want to build a medium power EDC with solid permanent clip and this one looks perfect.

Nice new toy BTW, hope to see a review of it :smiley:

It is your lucky day! The diameter of the Carclo quad is a perfect fit, but in the postion of the picture the legs sit on top of the board instead of in holes, so in a quad build it will sit a bit deeper (which is way better than if it sat too high :slight_smile: ). To get the height correct, under the ledboard a spacer (1.5mm?) is needed, I say an old 20mm ledboard with the circuitry sanded off.

The new toy will at least feature in a new luxmeter comparison (it also has luxmeter function), and in various little tests. But it is mainly for own experimentation and fun. It is a little Mavolux Base spectrometer and I forbid everyone to look up the price because it is pretty idiotic that I got myself one :person_facepalming:
(will postpone financial support of family for the next two years :frowning: )

Purchased the 4x Nichia version. Thank you sir!

Might have to order that to use as a throw (little more) option if I find I donā€™t like the mule aspect I ordered it for.

Guess a holiday in het amsterdamse bos has to do this year. :person_facepalming:

Did you get this one djozz??? :wink:
.

I think so.

I guess I failed as a flashaholic, think of what flashlight I could have bought :cry:

But it is huge fun!

It sure looks nice! I bet it is a lot of fun tooā€¦ā€¦ :+1:

Wow that thing is quite expensive! Looking forward to your test results!

djozz, can you please tell if the driver is 20mm? Is it press fit or maybe glued?
Also, when you say that a spacer would be needed to fit the optics, you mean that to raise the MCPCB, right? Even with that ā€œraisingā€, would there be space for a glass lens (above the optic)?

Thank you in advance! Iā€™m still on the line to buy this or not, to mod itā€¦ :person_facepalming:

In the picture the optic sits flush with the head and would look the same after using a spacer under the MCPCB, so the glass would go on top of that. I normally donā€™t use glass on top of optics but it always depends on the waterproofing design, anyways this light looks very promising for modding and since it has a tail switch I donā€™t think the driver should be a problem. I think the pic of the driver in the OP is 17mm, glued on the other side maybe?

Yes, if you make the optic sit where it is in the picture, a glass lens (1.8x25mm, 2mm thick will work too) fits on top of it in place of the stock plastic lens.

The driver is 21.6 mm diameter, dunno if it is press-fit or glued but donā€™t worry, you will get it out.

djozz, many thanks on this information :blush:
About the driver, their AX1 has the driver glued, a bit harder for me to put it back in place, thats why I asked. On the other hand, their VG10 model has a press fit driver, easier to remove and replace. Oh well, guess Iā€™ll have to find out which one is this afterall :smiling_imp:

Are coupons going out? I asked a week(s?) ago, and still have nothing.
