【ツ】WildTrail WT1M & WT3M Sales Thread

ANSI throw I assume? Single reflector will out throw a triple reflector of the same width, but the WT1M has a bigger head to maximize throw, while the WT3M is more for flood, so size isn't as important. The WT3M even has an OP reflector to soften the hot spot and make a more uniform beam, and with the 3 reflectors it doesn't need depth so overall, the WT3M has a smaller head.

I just ordered a WT1M w/XHP50.2, silver of course...

Never mind, after looking at the pictures again it seems the battery tube is approximately the same. The head of the flashlight is where the extra length comes from. For some reason, I was thinking one had a longer battery tube and was confused since both use a 21700

Lucky you. They want $50.61 to ship to Philippines. Hope BG will sell these at a reasonable price.

Too bad the 50.3 won’t be 3V in hiCRI… I like the 3M, but the days of low cri flooders are over for me. Wish I could support WT with my $ but not this time. Fingers crossed they knock the SFT40 model out of the park. Maybe something in the 50-55mm class to fill in the dead zone between C8s and 60mm lights. 250kcd and 2200lm in the smallest package possible might be a hot item.

agreed about the sft40 model in that size. I have a sft40 in a Emisar d1s with a 50mm head and it is a perfect setup, also the gt mini would be like that too. A 21700 gt mini sized light would be AWESOME

Yea, it's not that kind of flooder for sure, more like a power flooder but with a nice hotspot, big, but not as big as you get with the tir optics. I should take some wall and beam shots. It's really a decent looking smooth beam with the OP reflectors.

those look awesome, but will wait for version on SFT40 emitters
almost bought 2 of them yesterday, but stopped myself last minute (I already have EC01, and FW21 pro on XHP50.2, so very similar flashlights)

Hi. how is the beam with the triple sst40, not too narrow?
Is there noticeable yellow-green corona with triple xhp50.2?

Thanks in advance.

Not narrow at all. These are shallow reflectors, very wide flood, wide smooth hot spot. The only beam artifacts I can see is 3 lines or bumps radiating out at the outer edge of the flood, probably because of the triple reflector. But actually if I don't rotate the light around, I can't notice them.

Don't have the XHP50.2 version, so dunno, but have one on order.

ime the xhp50 versions of these types lights are even better beams which is good too.

TomE- I really appreciate all the info and pictures and everything you have shared already and it definitely helped me decide to buy the single led version.

could you possibly share photos of the triple reflector versions reflector with leds installed? I would love to be able to see their depth and finish to help me determine whether to pull the trigger on buying the triple Led variant.. I like how small it is, and I'm having a hard time figuring if it's more like the ec03 or the fw21 pro. I like both of those lights btw. Thanks Tom!

Will do a little later - don't have access now.

Here's some details in pics of the reflector:

Added some trits - didn't have to glue them, they'll stay but with a small rattle:

WT3M w/triple SST-40 5000K's:

Using a D4SV2, CW - SST-20 6500K, for comparison, same position, same camera angle (the D4SV2 is similar size head but with quad tir optics, mine is stock LED's and optics):

side by side, WT3M on right:

WT3M:

D4SV2:

The hot spots are about the same size, though the WT3M's looks more blended, softer, the D4SV2 more sharply defined. The flood area is much wider with the WT3M.

For artifacts outside the flood area, my WT3M has less - 3 distinct lines radiating outward, while the D4SV2 seems more like random things. In both lights there not very noticeable until you rotate the light, but maybe in full darkness they stand out more.

Wow! Very helpful! And even more promising! Think I'll be buying this one! Thanks TomE

Great, thanks for the nice photo! Ordered WT3M with sst40, just hope they’ll not be too green despite the claimed DC chromaticity bin.
Does this driver Fet+5+1 work with regulation till 1750mA or 2150mA?

Thanks!

Good Q about the max regulation - either 1750 mA (5 350's) or 2100 mA (5 + 1 350's).

The problem is Lexel provided the driver with the Anduril image, and Lexel has been unreachable for a long time, so we don't have the exact source code and configuration file for the build on these lights. Believe me, I was begging to launch these lights with Anduril 2 and even made a working Anduril 2 build and actually flashed it to the WT1M proto.

However, looking at the triple channel configuration I used in A2, it's probably the same, or basically the same as what Lexel used with Anduril. The lowest channel (single 350) stays ramped up to max, and stays at max all the way to the turbo level (at turbo, it's always FET only). So, out of the 150 entry ramping table, level #130 is equal to a regulated 2100 mA, so 2100 mA is the max regulation at level #130.

2100mA regulated is good, although I’m already thinking about stacking couple or even 4 additional 7135)

I cannot order these from Aliexpress as shipping to me is over $50. They have shown up on BG at prices considerably higher then Aliexpress, also the BLF 9% discount code is not working. Lately BG prices have gotten high and you have to have a discount code to bring the prices down close to other sellers. Guess I’ll have to wait.

WildTrail Store has put up some nice new pics of the triple https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003203699107.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.60164c4dn10zAx

My order has landed and is on the way to the post sorting center so I will hopefully see the torches next week.

Looks neat but I think I’ll wait for the sft40 too

This light really makes it apparent how badly we need a 3V 5050 HiCRI emitter. 95CRI SST or SFT 40 pleeassseeee…
