No I don’t have. VOB measured around 1.55Mcd and Michael Searchlights on Youtube also measured around 1.55 Mcd.
Ah I got ya, I generally consider anything within ~10% from different people equivalent due to variances in a bunch of factors but yes, assuming all else is equal that is about a 10% difference. Just about what I expected.
I am guessing you would be hard pressed to see that with the naked eye (it takes 4x the light to appear 2x as bright to the human eye) and no side-by-side comparison so it will really come down to what beam style people prefer more I am guessing.
Yes indeed as you said.
I celebrated the dawn of the new flashlight day by taking a little trip with the X65, R90TS and GT94op. The X65 and R90TS both show the same amount of light on target at 650 meters, and the same maximum usable throw distance of about 800 meters. The GT94op bests the X65 and the R90TS by putting more light on target 650 meters, and by extending maximum usable throw distance to about 1,000 meters. The additional throw that the GT94op has over the other two lights is enough to make me very happy that I added this light to my power thrower collection.
Can someone with both a GT4 and GT94 please post some beamshots for short, medium and long range? Thanks
Kinda surprising to me that such an engineering feat as this light is receiving almost no love over on CPF. There are atleast 3 threads over there and no comments at all.
Anything from BLF is considered second rate on CPF for the most part in my experience.
I tried posting there early on but got threaten with a ban since I was from BLF and have not gone back since.
There are a lot of good guys over there but the management seems to really have it out for BLF for some reason. Thankfully a lot of those good guys also post over here.
Those Surefires are what seem second rate to me 
. Honestly though this light is probably the highest quality light I have ever had. Seems right on par with the Maxabeam I used to have but much more useful. Seriously impressive engineering.
Thank you, I try to make each light I work on the best it can reasonably be. It is nice to know it is appreciated.
What changes need to be made to the GT70 driver to up the current for 4 SBT.90s in series?
Technically the GT70 driver would work as is but swapping the FET would be a good idea.
There are some other PCB changes to the GT4/GT94 drivers to beef them up and reduce voltage spikes and improve longevity but they are not possible to implement on the GT70 driver. The GT4 driver also has the programming key to make re-flashing easier.
Today, on the German forum, HARDUS posted GT4 and GT94 comparison beamshot video: https://www.taschenlampen-forum.de/threads/lumintop-gt4-incoming.68291/page-2#post-1088768
Thank you, HARDUS!
Just thought this thread might be interesting for some of y’all.https://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?471366-BLF-GT94-vs-HID-LED-has-surpassed-HID-in-my-opinion&p=5423310#post5423310
Just skimmed the first page, Good results in the OP and nice beam shots.
Many misconceptions and wrong assumptions further down.
Example, the temps, 100C is perfectly fine to run 24/7 for the internals of the light and would actually be considered fairly mild to most of the components. The rated temps of the components are what they are rated to run at 24/7 for the rated lifespan.
The cells on the other hand are the weak link with a max rated temp around 80c.
Now 100c is NOT something you would want to touch bare handed, that is for sure!
What do you mean with programming key to make re-flashing easier?
Is there newer UI planned or switching to Anduril UI?
Narsil M V1.3 is great for me. But in Some lights, which I own, Anduril is great, too.
Thanks.
It is a series of exposed pads on the bottom of the driver that allows you to reflash the driver without removing it. It uses the lexel programming key.
It is only for modders, there is no official support for that feature but I added it for those that wanted to use it.
Thanks.
So it´s like contact pads an noctigon drivers which I have in Emisar Flashlights for example.
Is this the programming key:
Thanks.
One more Question. In Video from Matt I saw the batterycarrier with screwing.
Is this a 4S2P carrier? Why this screwing? 8 cell carrier for unprotected cells with full compressed or bypassed springs would work two? Or is contact resistance to high?
Has someone still got his GT94 and can show some pictures of battery carrier?
Maybe I would like to use LiPo Airsoft batteries, if I will find some, fit in the batterytube.
Correct and yes, that is the programming key.
The screwing down of the carrier was the best solution we could figure out to both keep resistance low enough to carry 30A+ and fit a variety of cells.
We tried normal springs but had issues with them collapsing due to the current. I tried to get them to use some super beefy double springs but they chose to go this path instead.
The screwing actually works fine, the issues people have seem to stem from the narrower spacing on the rods then in the prototype, combined with the plastic sleeves this causes binding on the cells and makes it much harder to get everything lined up.
If you remove the sleeves it is much easier to tighten but harder to get everything lined up.
It is possible you could replace the sleeves with shrink wrap that would not bind as much.
Finally got my SMO reflector from Neal. Replaced the OP and measurements were as followed.
OP 1.4Mcd
SMO 1.583Mcd
Measurements done at 2 seconds from switch on.
OP
SMO
Not bad, about 13, pretty close to the 10 I have seen on average in the past.
