800m from the specs = 160 kcd, which is very good for a C8 size flashlight.
This light looks much nicer than a C8, performs best in this form factor, has a simple and useful clicky UI and being a Maxtoch must be very robust, and personally I like the rubber grip ring. It is nice to see that Maxtoch does not go with the flow of e-switches and fancy UI’s. :+1:
Lack of sleep is a serious number scrambler, it’ll get ya every time! Coffee, bold strong coffee.
6490 (meter lux reading on x10 setting was 649) x 25 (5M measure distance) = 162,250 (162.25Kcd) for 805.61M throw.
I need one of these. lol Seriously though, I like the look and size, like the reflector, might change the driver but I really like the overall form factor a lot. Thanks robo…
I had the right number in the wrong place and without writing down anything the other day when I did the figuring I got the numbers mixed up in my head.
The 6490 was my meter reading the other day and it was a x 10 factor , so the throw and kcd numbers you 2 guys figured were right on the money.
I was wondering why you didn’t show up on this thread yet… I knew this light was your type of light. I’m assuming this will dethrone your nitecore p30 now, but not your olight m2xsut
I made room for this last night by giving my Shooter 2X with sliced and diced SST-40 to my nephew. Now there’s an empty space that needs filling. Gotta love it when a plan comes together…
Oh, and as it so happens I have a lone LED4Power driver sitting around waiting for a home that is just coincidentally a 9A variant. Man it don’t get no better than that! lol
Unlikely, but Maxtoch isn’t big enough to be able to special order a batch without domes, are they? Would a manufacturer such as Luminus even entertain such a request?
Maxtoch is big, a military and police supplier. They ARE actually de-doming these themselves, the evidence is there on the emitter. They have done so on the Shooter before.
