I think they’ve confused the U16 specs with another light. Fasttechs flashlight listings have many errors like this.
2300lm from a tiny 16340 light would be amazing though (for a few seconds anyway). You’d have to use it with a lanyard otherwise you’d be dropping it when it got hot.
The M4 looks interesting and the claimed 1500lm is also impressive. I would like a magnetic tail cap though as that has been useful on my M3 Pro.
To be fair to Fasttech, in this case the specs are not wrong! Those are the specs provided by the manufacturer. I had access to some unreleased (yet) information and those specs match the original ones. The U16 has a XHP50.2 with 2300lumens and the M4 puts out 1500. The only thing is that the original information about the M4 states 4xLuminus SST20 and that seems to be wrong, according to the photo.
On The Road normally is consistent on the builds, so I believe that if the M4 has a magnet it can be easily removable. This is form my experience with the M3 Pro that also has a magnet in the tailcap
Sure it's possible and this light, and OTR's in general, are nothing fancy so it's probably just another LED in parallel offering more lumens, more flood. I'd love to buy one just to see how it's done, unless FT wants to send me one to review (hint, hint)
Normally the wire hole is in the center but doesn't have to be. There's some sort of black showing on the left in the pic, and possibly a wire solder pad - could be the black wire.
It's not a bad idea to squeeze quad LED's into a triple, you keep the head diameter small and with lower amps these have, you get more lumens/amp I would think.
You could very well be right but as there are other specs being given that don’t seem to make sense on other new OTR lights I’m going to wait until I see OTR’s specifications or a review. If you’re right It’s an interesting design.
