Someone had to do it, and post at least... pardon my lack of ability to make consistent wb or format a post cleanly, but you'll get the idea.
219b sw45k 2020 rrt01 on the left
Vs 319c ~80cri 5000k triple in a convoy
Vs emisar d1 xpl-hi 4000k (forgot the rest of the numbers/ letters that go with that)
Initial impression, excellent of course! Went from unusable xpl hi 6500 something or another with horrible tint, but admittedly bright. I have harbor freight lights at work that feel ultra high cri compared to it, should've taken some documenting photos for posterity. Went from that neat unusable light to the top of the class. Anyone want to trade a stock jetbeam xpl-hi for emitter swap? Is there a thread for intentionally bad mods? trashy mods? Donated donor host/ drivers welcome :p. I'll try the yang with the ying. Wait, isn't that called a tactical light?
Last thoughts, would still like a more robust spill and softer boundary to spot. Without sacrificing output yada yada, that might be a pipe dream. Custom reflector? How to do?
Early on, during the extended Corona shipping time (actually, Neal got it to me pretty fast), i had really wanted the extenders for longer batts... but faced with reality, they make for funny proportions, and i dont have the button tops to use them with. Unless i poach out of those harbor freight lights from work... but that wouldn't result in desired run time lengthening, might go the other way actually.
Control ring on mine is dry and pretty loose action . Need to experiment with grease injection into that alleged grease hole before i go Jonathan on the ring assembly with my non wimpy thread lock breaking tools...i think i see some wispy grease traces through said hole. Lemme ask jetbeam snd i get to choose my answer!
;)
Do my pics show finally? I hear you other newbs. I might've learned me something (that was harder than the soldering and all that stuff). Image hosting whathuh?
I might've made all my inappropriate pics public tho in the process. "I gotta small gritty tool." "Here's one of my clicky...i think i like twisties." Etc etc... It's all too enticing for the imugr weirdos. These flashlight titles too titillating!
Someone told me how to lose the riffraff...it didn't take...haha... so far still entertaining and novel though. Someone said 2 minutes after i uploaded it that my tool was so small snd cute...5 seconds later another said "at least it's hard" (ya, because it's a tool ti! so obvious, duh! )
