I don’t have them anymore, Windows decided it wanted to restart over night with programs still running.
You can see the X,Y values in the chart and when I estimate them they come out to:
around the “5” level:
with stock AR lens: ~0.004 Duv
with UCL AR lens: ~0.002 Duv
~39xx CCT
If you really got some SST-20 version that is better than this you should horde it cause it sounds like you got lucky based on these last few posts.
EDIT:
Just to clarify another point, the “8” mark on the plot is Turbo, which this light cant handle for more than a few seconds, so pretty much entirely above the BBL at all levels if you ask me.
No, laser results look very different. This looks like it was cut with with a hand held rotary tool, like a Dremel or maybe scraped by hand or a combo of both.
I got my SST-20 today, way faster than I thought. The optic is very frosty, but it included a glass lens for me to install a 10507. The ano is more blue than the first batch, no worries. The clip is silver, no worries. It has a lot of lube on the threads, no worries. The switch is different, no worries. The tint looks great in the daytime, will have to experiment tonight. The soldering is terrible though. It looks like how I solder, which is why I usually don’t. Would anyone be willing to post two pictures if I email them? Maybe pm me your email address and I will send them? Thanks.
The soldering looks fine. It appears messy nearby because they didn’t clean the flux residue. You can take a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol and clean the flux.
If so I’d just clean it all up with some alcohol & go with it.
Or, if you can solder & want to try & make it look prettier, give it a go. If you do, check the thermal paste while your at it to see if there is proper coverage.
The biggest thing is the LED domes really. The soldering can look ugly and still be perfectly fine.
2 out of 3 of my lights had something pretty big on one of the LEDs that had to be wiped off. No damage cause I always check for it but a few turbo blasts will really start cooking anything left on there.
Hello all. I’m new to blf. I found this forum through Matt Smith’s YouTube channel and his video about this flashlight. I watched his video, read a little bit on here and ordered one that day from Neal. I just got mine in the mail and I couldn’t be happier. This light does everything I could want and the build quality seems great. I’ll be sticking around and checking out the mod thread. Thanks for a great light.
I've been following this thread for about 6 or 7 months now. But it has been going on for a long while. I think the work and the patience of the ones involved and those of us following have been well rewarded. It is a great light!
