I really enjoy the balance between flood and throw in SST40. I guess SFT40 will be a bit floodier than CULPM1, but I wish someone post a beamshot comparison.
Looks like the SFT40 has 4 bond wires. Not sure I’ve seen that before; a bond wire at each corner of the die. If that is the case that should mitigate the burning bond wires failure mechanism of the SST40.
Thought that was only with the SST40 Gen 1?
SFT70 LED will not be available until next year
I have put forward this suggestion to the manufacturer, but I think it is difficult to implement.
Is the SFT40 LED going to be available for the Z1 and other flashlights?
I don’t know, maybe later versions are tougher. Even when they did fail by burned bond wires it was at >8.5A, so it was usually not a problem, but it will still be nice not to worry about that failure mechanism.
Does the SFT40 fit standard XML mounting stars (MCPCB)?
I just ordered mine and don't have any on hand, so I can't say for 100% positive. However, the pdf datasheet shows the die size as a 5050 which is the same as Cree XML.
Thanks Simon. Will be looking forward to that one!
The SST40 does, so this should as well.
yes,
yes
26800 extension tube for M3-C sample
Thank you Simon. When might we see them for sale?
Ordered 5 sft40 leds today, oh do I have plans for this LED!
i’m ready to produce silver / red / blue / gold version ,
i’m finding 26800 7000mAh battery with good quality
Could you please list some of the 26800 batteries and sources you’ve discovered. Also please consider Black as one of the colors.
Black lights matter?
The black version may not look good.
here is 26800 battery what i got
