Hi… I edited this thread title…
I’ve been using an old 6P / malkoff M60 for camera lighting, and want to upgrade to something 2021 brighter but with a similar kind of TIR beam. Floodier would be nice with a less pronounced hot spot.
No PWM (deal breaker as a cam light)
Body / tailcap diameter can not exceed 26.5mm (1 in)
Bezel cant be bigger overall than a 6P.
No sharp/abrupt, edge circle at the far extremes.
Geared more for a wide flood than throw.
Hi needs to be as bright as possible for ~4 minutes straight, no step down, good thermal management.
Turbo would only be used for ~30 second bursts
Flat top unprotected 18650 cells
So far I am considering:
Lumentop EDC18 (3x nichia HI CRI)
WUBEN TO46R (3x nichia HI CRI)
Convoy S2+ DIY build (XHP50.2 or SST-40, FET-DD for Turbo burst only. I’m pretty sure the stock OP reflector, or a TIR lens from Simon will flood enough for my needs)
