Yeah… EagleTac created a masterpiece with the D25 line. I just wish you could get them with warm & high CRI emitters. Mods are possible on at least some of their lights, though.
I also have great appreciation for Olight’s S1A Baton with TIR optic - pop a 3000k XM-L2 under that TIR and the floody beam and warm color are magnificent! Great compact size, too.
The LED is easily accessible (2019 RRT01). I have not even had to disassemle the head completely to get to the MCPCB if memory serves. Not sure if there’s a TIR optics that would fit. The reflector geometry makes a more narrow spill. Best would probably be to stay with a domeless LED, else it might have some artifacts in the beam, but that’s just a guess based on my experiences with other deep smooth reflectors.
I have a Jetbeam Jet I Pro, from about 8 years ago. Great little light, but it’s most definitely a thrower. Deep reflector and tiny XR-E emitter.
Perhaps it could be customized into a floody, warm tint light with an XM-L2, textured reflector, and a TIR?
The bezel is removable, but I don’t know about finding a textured reflector that would fit, or making a TIR fit, somehow. I guess I could ask Vinh to mod it, though.
Thanks Pavlo. I have enough ability to change the LED, what I don’t know anything about is getting different reflectors and/or lenses/TIR and fitting them to the light. I need to get more education on doing those kinds of mods! :sunglasses: I would love to mod my Jet I Pro to be warm and floody, but I don’t think I would be happy just obscuring/frosting the lens itself. I would want to do it right.
I just got a Sofirn SP10S today. Love it! The only EDC light I know of with a Samsung LH351D emitter, 90 cri 5000k. It has a super nice beam quality and on a Ladda cell is pretty bright for an AA. I can’t wait to try it with the 14500 if they ever get here from across the pond…Fit and finish are excellent, plus has AR coated lens. For $18 shipped on Amazon it’s a steal.
The only one I can think of is it comes on in my pocket, but you can lock it out by unscrewing tail cap slightly, or tap the switch 4 times quickly. Otherwise it’s perfect as-is. Waiting for my 14500 for access to 800lm turbo! I tested it alongside my Sunwayman light with the xp-g2 and thre beam is nicer thanks to the high cri.
There were a few things about the UI that bugged me. I already have a small pile of various SP10s (A, old B, new B, etc.) but no Ses, so I’m not in any itchin’ hurry to get an S.
Things I vaguely recall from others’ reviews include that it has mem or nomem based on whether you’re running an alkaleak or 14500, that it starts on low even though it has moonlight (ie, you’d have to cycle through the blinding modes just to cycle back to moonlight), little quirks like that.
