This is the farthest throwing LED we’ve seen so far. I believe Boost HX is in mass production and should be better but we’re not able to source them yet.
There may be better LEDs that we haven’t tested.
And there are emitters better than LEDs.
I can’t wrap my head around the diameter being the same as the GT70, but split into 4 smaller reflectors, AND throwing just as well as one well made GT70 reflector…?
I can see that it may throw insane lumens down range, but at some point wouldn’t it just ‘flare out ’?
By that I am imagining the 4 beams not being as tightly… collimated? So then at 500 yards the beams disperse….?
I traded GT for GT70 for more lumens downrange, de-domed to reclaim Some throw… but this new one confuses me…
Sadly it is not possible due to the way the machining works. It has been tried many times but it is simply not possible to make it line up without a lot of manual labor to grind each piece individually by hand pretty much.
Can't the flats be set to line up with the button by loosening the battery tube slightly until they line up then tightening the tailcap holding it in place? At least that what someone else recommended long ago and I have did ever since. Of course, that won't help to line up the strap attachment point.
Something like the charging indicator in the Convoy BD01 would be coll too.
They use transparent centering-pieces with path through the MCPCB and shell to a LED on the driver.
