Any specs?
The right one seems to be the CULPM1;which is the higher current version of CSLPM1.TG. There aren’t too many manufacturers around which use them
Both flashlights are the same model: Manta Ray S21 with Osram NM1 LED (supposedly) - one has a gray bar, the other does not. The Manta Ray S21 uses a 2.8Amp (7135x8) driver, but the UI is sort of different (it seems to be related in terms of configuration as the Convoy C8+ SST40 ‘ramping’ driver version).
In my other set of Osram NM1 photos, one is a Wainlight C8S-G with Osram NM1 LED (no gray bar), the other is a Boruit C8 with Osram NM1 LED (but has a gray bar). The Boruit C8 and the Wainlight C8S-G look very similar (they use the same flashlight host as the Convoy C8+, but place an Osram NM1 LED and both seem to use a driver that is similar to Convoy’s 5/3-mode group driver (also 7135x8 or 2.8Amps).
In the absence of led4power (hope they're back sometime), some way or the other we now have access to all 4 White Flats. The thread should now be renamed to
Hope Mr luminarium iaculator notices. Is someone going to test the Boost HX? The 2mm² WF is more surface to power constrained, this means the Boost HX should obtain a higher gain than the HL. Sent a PM to djozz…
I did seen and changed… :+1:
I still can’t remember those Osram emitters… It is to complicated to me. Letter and number dizziness :weary:
P.S.
First post of this thread requires re-editing with all relevant data. Thread is hard to follow and maybe it is better to read it backward > forward direction.
We'll see. djozz told me he received a Boost HX sample way back from Hank, and it performed even worse than the 5P bin CSLPM1.TG he reviewed from Neven (led4power) back then (1480 versus 1530 djozz lumen), despite reaching a higher maximum current at 9A as expected. This means that CULPM1.TG probably was some ugly duckling pre-production sample or God knows what.
Hope those CULPM1.TG emitters are some decent bin, 5P minimum.
