I recommended XP-E2 Green 520nm with the 7.5A CC driver, but I didn’t mean a custom driver, I just meant Emisar D4V2 or Noctigon KR4 with Hank’s 5A or 7.5A constant current driver.
XP-E2 Green 520nm does not need more than 1.5A to perform at its best, in fact 5A CC driver is probably enough for a quad: 1.25A for each led.
i can think of at least 10 different purposes to get 10 different lights.
1. general purpose flood light around the house
2. general purpose thrower light with good spill for walking the dog
3. lantern for power outage
4. flood headlamp for housework
5. thrower headlamp for hiking
6. keychain light on keychain for outside
7. keychain light for nightstand because obv ur not gonna get ur keys first to get up and go to the washroom at night
8. uv light for travelling, checking hotel bedsheet and maybe counterfeit money and stuff
9. edc, self explanatory
10. dedicated thrower light for fun, self defense, and guiding uber eats driver
these are all very useful and easily justifiable reasons.
now of course some of these can be combined into one ljght, but…why do that to yourself?
I wish they were, as an option which I would be happy to pay for. I didn’t choose Al for its lower price, but for being more lightweight than the other versions.
I always thought this myself. I would never choose any of those materials over aluminum due to weight, but I would gladly pay more for the lighted switch option also.
I’d say if price is not a “concern”, the cu+ti weight must be close to the AL… maybe? Albeit a different balance of weight, titanium is a decent degree lighter then AL, I believe. I’m sure someone who have both can verify this for us?
