the lens looks untreated. Either it's very good glass, AR coated but no noticeable tint, or if replaced with an AR, it will do about 5% better!
the beam looks decent enough to me, considering XHP50.2. For 6 LED's, of course you get the pedal effect on the outside of the flood
would like a SS bezel option, and of course color choices
like it has a tripod mount point
got a Convoy 3X21A flat top adapter to fit and work - just has to dremel/sand down the adapter about 1 mm in diameter to fit - now works excellent!
It does a little better in lumens then my MT03 TA with slight mods (triple XHP70.2), same length, smaller head diam then the MT03 but also throws better
amber/orange LED's in the switch come on sometimes, not sure, but think it's when the light gets hot - don't know what that's about. The standard green ones are top and bottom mounted, while the amber/orange ones are on the left and right sides
No prob! But I did find it has excessive parasitic drain with the switch LED on hi - 2500 uA. There's a 0.5 K ohm resistor (0402) in the path - probably should be much higher. Interesting just the other day I found the Sofirn SP31 Pro also had excessive drain on the switch LED on hi of 1300 uA with a 1K 0402 resistor. I swapped that 1K for a 6.8K and now it does 276 uA on hi - much better.
The SP31 Pro switch LED's were super bright, too bright, and so are these on the EC06.
So the stock draw is as follows:
switch LED OFF: ~120 uA
switch LED Low: ~170 uA
switch LED Hi: ~2500 uA
Even 120 uA is a little high, but not bad. Typically it should be ~30 uA w/Anduril 2 on this type of driver.
For me I can swap the 0402 0.5 K resistor with about a 6.8K.
Wondering if Sofirn makes this light? Switch PCB has label on it which think it says Q8 Pro.
This light is fantastic !!! I tested it against an Imalent MS08 and it is even brighter than this when switched on with 3 Molicel P42A, I decided to buy 4 more and combine them to make a 100,000 lumens monster. Mateminco / Astrolux you are great !!!
Thank you, texas shooter, for confirming that I can not miss out on this exciting light. I did not receive the code, yet, so I ordered via the "Can't wait for our reply, Buy Now" button.
By the way, here are all of the links for the five (currently) topic threads for this light, just on this forum, running contemporaneously, so all can see what's currently going on with this exciting item:
