Just a small correction: the unit of the hotness rating doesn't fit the numbers. It should be klm/cm3

It seems correct to me…*k*lm/mm³.
Or lm/cm³. Which seems more natural…and I switched the spreadsheet to use it.
CRX, that Tool must be HOT !
Yeah I changed it soon after to a 7135 driver I think.
It’d be interesting to add a couple of bigger ones on here, to see how they compare per cubic centimetre (such as Imalent’s MS18 at 100,000 lumens).
Some other single 27100 lights, around 9000lm:
The Astrolux EC03, Lumintop FW21 Pro and Fireflies E07 are all around 6000lm, so probably won’t make this list.
Could a single 18650 the size of a D4 drive 3 XHP50.2 LEDs over 10,000lm?
You could also add lm/gram unit, but also unit which would tell how long those lumens can be sustained (for ex. before OTP kicks in, or brightness drops below 90% of initial max. lumen, whichever happens first), units could be lm*sec/cm3 , and lm*sec/gram.
The three bullet pointed lights that you mention: The first and third fit right in my hot rod collection, among the hottest rods for their size. The second one: I ordered two of them from my favorite USA supplier.
Lumintop FW21 Pro, 3 x XHP50.2 3V: Neils website says ~10,000 lumens, I submitted a serious inquiry to my fav light guy for three of them, he says he is checking on latching onto a batch of them.
Y, t a h n m f n r a n h g! Yay!
You’re welcome to add these columns.
Thanks, MS03 made it to the top of the list!
I’m not a fan of this brand but nevertheless I’m impressed.
Does anyone know tailcap diameters of TM9K and NS53A?
Added the NS53A’s tail diameter of 28mm.
I don’t see on your mods list. I’d like to add it to the table but I see that it is available with 2 different tails, could you please indicate which one did you use?
Thx.
Direct drive, cracking bin LED, cell used, ANSI standard, planets aligned, different equipment...
I see vinh recommends to use the Vapecell 3A 14500, prob used that for testing.
I used a WindyFire red 14500. Don't get too caught up in the numbers.
I liked this thread so much, I started a similar thread on pocket throwers over here: In search of the best pocket thrower flashlight (lots of research)
very interesting database, thanks for the insights.
I’m sure DB Custom did some crazy output 14500 lights.
Yup. He also did some amazing projects. Not only 14500 and when I read your post, the first thing I thought about was 458 HAM’R
Thrunite TN50 CW is pretty hot. Its 4 21700 batteries are wired directly. The company rep told me they use LG. Wow imagine if it was VTC6A or 40T
Thanks for this very interesting hotrod list.
I wonder how the FF ROT 66 Gen II w XPL HI would rank. It is supposed to spit out 14k lumen stock but it’s probably less. The light is quite compact though.
