My question would be, will anyone actually buy one if Imalent or Acebeam is making a similar light, since these are well known and expensive brands?
Probably only people with too much money
I’m in for a head only if it’s possible. I already have the gt4 coming and I don’t want two giant lights, but an interchangeable head would be awesome.
I’m impressed by the simple, good looking and efficient design of the GT4 / GT94, beautiful beasts. Congratulations to people involved, honestly.
But the BLF GT is still my preferred, its tint is a mile better. Shame it as not been CRI 90/95 with maybe, a tad warmer tint.
Crazy performance and pushing the limits even for the size. but at this point I think it deserves a constant current driver so there can be flat regulation for lower modes.
Would the 90.2 make the host more thermally limited than with the 70.2 or about the same?
Thanks for the Video. I think the GT94 looked the most impressive. But I’ve got the FF5 ordered, 1.2Mlux and 10k L and it’s much smaller. I have nothing against the big lights, I have the GT and a GT70. All of these lights are putting out unreal numbers.
At some point this is all going to become just about novelty. I mean, how much light you can throw two miles down range becomes a moot point when most of us have to squint just to read a billboard half a mile down the road.
The 0.25lux standard for determining a light’s range is not the most practical, and I think it can actually dissuade people from throwers. Like you say, you can’t even see stuff a mile away so why would I need a light that throws that far? But it’s always nice to have more beam intensity at closer range. For example 1Mcd at 300m is only 11lux. That level of illumination is definitely not overkill.
For those asking about the setup of the LED’s, yes they are in 4S arrangement and besides the mcpcb and LED’s everything else is the same as the GT4. Thats the only reason it was done honestly as I do not foresee large numbers of these selling simply due to the cost.
Still should be an impressive combo of lumens and throw.
SVK89 is the one that first suggested using 4x SBT90.2 LED’s in this light, I had pretty much dismissed them due to the cost they would add but he and a few others (sorry, can’t remember all the names) convinced me to push the idea.
I am supposed to have one sent to me next week, I will see how it shakes out in the real world then.
Like Djozz I just wish it was available in NW and/or high CRI.
Well the GT90 was on my Christmas list and now I see this! 30,000lm at 1300m Holly flashlights Batman! 1 90.2 is impressive in the right reflector but 4 is incredible! I wonder what a 90.2 behind a reflector lens would look like
