I want to make sure it was on turbo. It steps down at first ~ 2 minutes,then about every 75 seconds after that. That is with the Orbtronic 5750 battery,same as shockli 5500 cell.[PLB 55A]
Thanks for the testing,that is almost the exact numbers on mine,turn on and 30 seconds. But V54 used the Thrunite battery for my specs. Shockli/Orb. probably a bit higher.
General thought here first. We all have to make best with what we have. In this case our video equipment and locations. I have some of the best locations with ZERO light pollution on these dark and isolated hiking trails.No city or Suburban lights. I just wish my video equipment[my phone!] was better!
Here is my V6 video w/ a special guest.My video recording was not the most stable as I was focusing more on my special guest!
I just noticed in the OP review, turbo to LVP shutdown was 90 minutes. Thrunite says 150 minutes but reality is 90 minutes which is -40% from specs. Doesn't make any sense for manufactures to make such exaggerated claims on run times. I was making a spreadsheet of run times for all my lights and was looking at reviews and came upon this one.
The Acebeam T27 seems to be the most powerful one I can find, and the price tag goes along with it too
How do you think the Catapult V6 compares to the Astrolux FT02?
What I am impressed with the FT02 is that they managed to do a Ramping UI with a regulated Boost driver. Never seen that before!
Thrunite updated their Catapult V6 without changing the name.
Original V6:
XHP35 Hi
1700 lumens
140kcd
New V6:
SST70
2800 Lumens
120kcd
They went for more lumens, and decreased throw in an upgrade of a thrower…
They went from offering Neutral White, to Cool White only (if I am not mistaken, SST70 only offered in 6500K, 65 CRI)
They went from offering a thrower that wouldn’t overheat quickly at the highest setting, to one that promises more lumens but ends up providing significantly less throw when it steps down….
