Ok, I finally got a reading without the glassā¦ the light with glass lens is making 10,500 lumens at startā¦ without the glass it can do 11,220 lumens. so there is some 720 lumens being lost to the glass. I donāt think this is a huge deal and the glass is pretty good, I would like to see the 1.8mm thickness increase to 3mm though, at these diameters the glass can get broken easier so a thicker glass is warranted, or the use of a really good Acryclic with AR coating.
Talking about the āgood influenceā, thereās only 19 days to go for Le Grand K before it is replaced by a measurement based on the Planck constant.
Funny enough, a brit (actually a Scot, Maxwell) was at the base of getting rid of all the artifacts and get the metric system really right.
So how do they interpret whether 4,885 (four thousand eight hundred eighty-five), which is read as 4.885, is actually 4.885 (four and eight hundred eighty-five thousandths)?
Sorry Jos, I was not aware of this issue. I moved everything from post #2 and #3 to the OP. Hopefully, this will resolve any future problems with new posts.
Sorry Dale, I didnāt expect to cause that much confusion when talking about CCT and Kelvin as the base unit. However, I do agree with you that using points and commas as decimal separator can sometimes be confusing. ;-)
Thatās exactly the root cause. Iām used to separate the decimals by a point, not by a comma. That reminds me asking the cocky question what the internationally agreed standard is. Point or comma? :-D
Haha...Iād love to get a DB Custom 'one of a kind' with 4,885...sorry, 4.885K. :-P
I just wonder if my eyes would even notice a CCT that low. :-D
Dale, from this day forward I promise to keep in mind using no decimal separator anymore. Result: No confusion for anyone. Howās that? :-D
2 x 21700 with a 26x10 connector would be great, otherwise just stick to the 2 x 26650 version.
XHP 70.2 shaved (otherwise throw is garbage), still more then enough lumens output.
Clear reflector (again, throw)
SS bezel.
Thick coated glass lens
Good UI
Springs? Will they make much difference? What about a spring bypass? I would definitely prefer a nicer tint, Iām hoping a smooth reflector will extend the reach. My only concern is will it make the hotspot smaller?
