Has there been more info on price/availability? Seems there has been no updates.
Based on the info in the op.
1. This needs a deep carry pocket clip option
2. The switch needs to be suitably designed (recessed) to avoid accidental activation when in your pocket
Oh yea I forgot about that light. This optic is going to be waaaayyyy better than the E01 optic. The E01 optic creates a lot of artifacts. The beam on this new light looks much cleaner and more focused.
Interesting... I assume you are judging the beam from the posted vid? It does look pretty good compared to my E01. I flashed the E01 with Anduril2
So between an improved optic and better throwy LED, should do wayy better than an E01 - I measured 32 kcd on the stock E01 on a 30T cell, which is probably close to blowing/blueing a SST-40.
I make fast comparison with T1R (left) and GT nano (right)
Led: same CULNM1TG
Lumens: 1000 vs 450
Candelas: 125000 vs 23400
Thorow: 700m vs 300m
Battery: 22430/18350 vs 10180
UI: Anduril 2 vs Narsil
Size: 79 x 37 x 26.5mm vs 24 x 52.5mm (head size much bigger)
Dirver: 6A buck vs 2.5A TA FET
Charging: 2A USBC vs (no detail but can charge)
Weight: 78g vs 17g
The gt nano is much smaller but T1R should last much longer and brighter.
Wouldn’t a 16340 cell offer completely rubbiush runtimes though. So much so that it would make a high output or long distance light pointless with such a power plant.
Jack confirmed this light will be released next week. Also that the T1R will be available in Red, Green, Blue and black anodized color options.
I wasn’t too excited about this light at first, but seeing the size of the T9R, now I want to see it’s price to see it’s it’s worth being my first mini-thrower. Hopefully it’s in the KR1 price-range so it becomes a no-brainer.
I am happy to finally see some production pictures and I like the green but I think the red and blue are a bit too ‘bright’! May I know what it is the cost? I like the size and I think it is ideal match for small led with small flashlight. You have interesting battery choice of 22430 but unfortunately it is uncommon to buy. The optic look like a special double reflection optic, can you please share more information? Very interested to see some review soon!
Are you sure that driving the emitter that hard (6A) makes sense?
Because as you can see above, even with much better cooling the brightness is almost flat between 5,5A and 7A. Going down to 5,5 or 5,3A would net pretty much the same brightness and throw while using 15% less energy (longer battery life, less heat etc).
LED4Power tested the 5Q flux bin. FF was able to procure the higher 6Q flux bin. Not sure if the 6Q would max out at a higher amp since it hasn’t been tested.
