VestureOfBlood posted an amazing video in this thread about the the Acebeam W30.
White laser
Pencil thin beam rated at 1.5 million candela
Small size, single cell, etc. all meet your spec.
Possible downside: little or no spill makes this a special purpose tool. One poster suggested that it may be ideal for certain boating and marine applications, such as spotting marker buoys at distance without generating huge reflections off the surface of the water.
I still don’t really know what to do about LEP throwers.
Some seem to clearly fit this thread but at the same time they are so different from LED ones that I feel they deserve a thread of their own….
I miss the FT03 with XHP50.2 on the List.
Also would be nice if the available tints for each where listed, although it’s a lot of work and not really necessary.
My other thought would be to replace the ‘charger’ & ‘type’ columns with a ‘notes’ column. With most of the lights utilizing a reflector and no on board charging, that would be the default. Then you could add anything outside of that in the notes column (Onboard charging, aspheric lens etc).
I will think about it.
I did some formatting changes already, it’s a bit better.
I see that I forgot to add Convoy L21A - that’s TODO.
I added SBT-90 variant of NI40. This thing performs niiice.
Thanks for the suggestion but due to my time constraints I limited the list to lights that are strictly larger than C8.
I really like that idea. I’ve been looking for some good way to make these lists more collaborative and this might just be the right way to do it. I’ll explore the possibilities in the coming days.
Also, this collaborativity may enable expanding the scope of the list to include throwers of all sizes…
As to conversion to a spreadsheet - I did some work on that but have no success so far.
I tried to find a good spreadsheet software for the task.
So far I tried ethercalc. I used that before and I like it but it appears that it doesn’t support multiple links in a single cell.
I ruled out google calc - I just don’t like google.
There are a few other options but I didn’t find time to check them out yet.
