I’ll take a d18, but filled with 18 SBT90.2 emitters. Make it as large as it needs to be,
to support as many 21700 batteries that is needed. Heck, I want it full copper too.
But wouldn’t it throw almost twice as far? even though it may ONLY be 75,000 lumens, couldn’t it potentially throw 2200 meters? reflector dependent of course. I mean come one… you wouldn’t pay $2,000 for a 18 x sbt90.2 , 6 x 21700, full copper, 26lb thrower? I would, if Hank made it! And if my wife never found out though it’d be hard to hide.
ps- I got my ridiculous theoretical math from comparing the gt4 to the gt94, and the ms18 to this new Noctigon Coppertron (thats a trademark name i just made up).
You can have good flood and good throw by including 10 or 15 and 45 deg TIR, but the throw will never be super amazing. Likewise, you could have an aspheric lens option, granted the lens would extrude.
I would be interested in a crazy light if it uses SUNLIKE-tier emitters and buck/boost, or at worst, E21A emitters. I don’t like the green halo from E21A and a TIR won’t correct that, so 219b would technically be a step up
I miss the lights with handles lol, I used to use one in the offhand while shooting coons with my rifle, despite the weight the handle actually easier to hold than a light
How does that beam look?? I messaged Hank for the price of doing the D18 with all XPL-hi’s, now I’m just trying to decide… 1.) Do I need a $160-ish popcan light (when i can get a New MF01s for $80…) and, 2.) Should i just go with 18 x W2’s?
That sounds amazing. I have a D18 with an even mix of 2700 and 4000K’s and the beam is absolutely beautiful. Reminds me of an old incandescent flashlight except massively powerful of course.
You have the exact d18 I keep putting off from buying.. that is my ideal setup (of course given Hank has a NICE bin of 5D at the time I buy it, like he does RIGHT NOW lol).. I would be interested in the output using molicel p26a..
Sono interessato e potrei acquistare almeno 3 pezzi se il prezzo rimane entro limiti ragionevoli quindi firmo la tua petizione e spero che qualcun altro sia d'accordo.
In the D18 I would replace all the LEDs with OSRAM CULPM1.TG W2.
I bought the Acebeam X50 to check all these boxes. But before I did I asked Hank if he had any plans to make something like this. I also have the X80GT which is perfect as a very even flood - perfect for working on things. I have 3 Hank lights and so many others. By far the one I grab the most for around the property now is this X50, it really surprised me how good it is at throwing and flooding. USBC charging is so convenient. If Hank produces a new light like this I will definitely buy it!
