Does the XPL HI have a ‘hotspot within a hotspot’ effect to it, or is it a nicely filled spot like the SST20?
The recent 3500 mAh cells are probably a good fit… maxed-out capacity with plenty of power for 3000 lumens or less. In this light, high-drain cells are basically only relevant for turbo mode.
Those were my two top choices also. As either provides more amperage than the Rot66 can take advantage of, I went with the Vct6 for its 20% greater run time.
Don't know if this will help as I have a cheap camera, but here is a pic I took yesterday of the XPL Hi from from the ROT66 compared to the BLF Q8.
My vtc5d are not that low resistance and they are $10/ea
damn that XP-L HI beam looks perfect! I’m glad I have the XP-L HI 3A on the way!

Here's a better shot by itself that I just took. It's such an awesome NW, I'm really impressed and the evenness of the beam is amazing. I took a chance ordering the XPL HI V3 3A NW hoping it would really be a solid NW, but I never expected it to be that good.

Thanks for the picture klrman. The ROT66 looks to have a very nice beam too.
And I love the fact that it appears to be a ‘True NEUTRAL White’!!
Q8 on the left & ROT66 on the right…. correct??
The ROT66 has NO ’Yellow tint’ that puts in in the Warm White category of the Original Q8.
TRUE NEUTRAL WHITE…… FF got it right!!! . :+1:
@teacher, yes Q8 on the left. The ROT66 XPL Hi V3 3A NW is the real deal, it's what I have been always hoping for

Ok. I just measured the rot66 xpl hi 6500k. I got 7000 lumen with the sony vtc5a.
I was hoping for 8-9k lumens but I guess 7k lumens is still impressive for the size.
Seems like it could do more on paper. Anyone do spring bypasses or other mods yet?

:+1: Gotcha, I was pretty sure it was.
That is really nice too… a “neutral white” that is actually ’Neutral White’, not WW with a ’Yellow Tint’ that is called ’neutral’.
I love it!!! :+1:

I hear ya’ man…… :person_facepalming: . If someone prefers a ‘yellow tint’, fine with me; BUT call it what it is…… ‘Warm White’. Because there is nothing NEUTRAL about it.

Nice photo… this is what it look like in real…
I just got my second rot66 xpl hi V3 3A, but guess what, it's half as bright on maximum as my first rot66. I looked at all the emitters, cleaned all the contacts, I'm really not sure what is going on there. Any ideas anyone?
