Yes you’re right. When the EC03 caught my attention the black color XHP50.2 6500k was available and I assumed the green color was out of stock. I know now it was never offered. I’m kicking myself now for not getting the black one when it was available.
The petal effect is expected and I see that to some extent on all of my multi emitter lights. My FT02S beam when viewed on a white wall or ceiling at 1.5 m away is kind of a mess with the darker then usual band/ring of tint shift outside the hotspot and the unevenness outside that. The band shows outdoors, the unevenness not so much. Yes, I believe the proximity of the LEDs is the cause, maybe not the proximity itself but losing the inside walls of the individual cups due to the closeness of the LEDs. A member here mentioned it was probably a design decision to increase throw but it seems the depth and size of the cups have more effect on throw then the proximity of the LEDs. It is interesting to compare the FT02s to the Haikelite HK04 with it’s more widely spaced quad XHP50.2 emitters and similar output.
Anyway, I took the FT02S on a walk a few days ago and it’s fun to use.
Hi, I have the Ft02s and this convoy holster fits it perfectly, better then any other torch/holster combo I have beside the ft03 setup. I have a holster for 80% of my lights and have tried numerous brands and sizes to find good matches.
