However, i’ll wait for reviews before pulling the trigger. I got disappointed a couple time with new and promising Astrolux lights before, so i wont rush on this one – although i already have a V2 MF01 Nichia modded by Lexel with TA driver, Narsil and GITD tape under the optic, and it is one of my favorite lights. This new edition should be even better!
Where do we vote for colors?
I’d fancy tan or clear or gray…
I got the sample SST-20 LED’s in the other day and tested them out. The 6500k are CW but really good for that tint.
The 5000k are also great at med-high power levels and acceptable at low power levels, better then XP-G3 or the 219C’s they sent me before. The output is better as well.
We are still hunting down some 4000k 95cri SST-20’s from below the BBL. They are seriously hard to get, they might be a very limited quantity type of deal. Although the fall back are the normal FB4 tint that everyone else is using which are still good. I have been using these in my prototype for awhile now and it really works great.
I don’t care about HCRI even like others do, the SST20 6500K are the best SST20 tint IMO, I’m a huge fan of cool white, hope to see them make it into the production light! TA how many lumens and candelas did you measure with the 6500K?

I didn’t install them in a light to get readings, I just bench tested them as it was too much of a pain to try them in a light for the test (I would never consider using a CW tint in an actual light of mine lol).
They beat the XP-G3 LEd’s and were not far off the XP-L HI numbers though.
will the production light be using the highest bin SST20s or what bin will they use?

It depends on the tint, they were able to get the highest bin in some of them and 1 below the highest in the rest. They are not positive which tints they will be offering in the final production lights yet.
but the Anduril thermal freak out bug is not fixed
hard turbo dropdown is just a think to do a hard stepdown to fix this bug, and we do not want it,
so that turbo is as long as possible available then fading down to a thermal equal level holding steady the set temperature
So the SST20s are 4000k? What kind output will we be seeing. 11000 lumen?
There will be multiple options for the LED’s. SST-20’s in 4000k 95cri (hopefully with a better bin then has been available before), 5000k 70cri and 6500k 70cri.
i’m interested
really really really, gotta have it in red, 4000k, sst20
never fear shadows…it means a light shines nearby

So basically the light is ready to be produced
but the Anduril thermal freak out bug is not fixed

Far as lumen output, that is still TBD.
