Yeah, it looks similar to the Olight Marauder 2 with the emitters round the outside and the larger light in the middle. The Marauder 2 does 14,000 lm but only 800m throw.
There’s also the Acebeam X10 with 9 LH351D LEDs around an XHP35 HI for 7000 lm and 469m throw. And of course bthe massive Acebeam X70, with 12 XHP70.2 around an XHP35 HI, producing 60,000 lm and 1115m throw.
I have some 4 * 18650 and some 3 * 21700 lights but no 4 * 21700. I’d imagine the diameter of 4 * 21700 would be a bit much to hold for long periods. The extra run time is good but I doubt the cell would make much difference in turbo output: the Acebeam X50 and Imalent MS08 both power 8 XHP70.2 LEDs with 3 cells.
I actually really like 3 * 18650 but that doesn’t seem like enough for this light.
I think XHP50.2 will be an option. I. Guessing these will be 3V, so no option for warmer CCTs.
XHP50.3 would be a nice surprise. Acebeam and Imalent have announced lights with HI versions of these, with a load more throw than non-HI versions.
What would make most sense to compliment the LEP here? Something super-floody that’s the opposite of a LEP? Or something still quite throwy so the LEP looks more like a distance boost instead of a completely different light?
I think XHP50.2 would be the best option but 8 * W2 or SFT40 would be really cool too.
Would be most useful to me if the LEDs were really floody, but still had good throw. Unlikely to want to switch from long range spotlight to flood, more like spot, then search.
Dave I'm fine with TN42 V2 I give you two sizes to understand: TN42 handle diameter 570mm with 4 * 21700, EC06 diameter with 3 * 21700 540mm, Wildtrail WT90 diameter with 3 * 21700 550mm, Imalent MS08 diameter with shell and 3 * 21700 600mm. They are minimal differences even the MS08 is 30mm wider than TN42 but it grips very well ... so I prefer 4 * 21700 batteries if I have to choose.
XHP70.2 would be awesome and put it along side the Acebeam X50, Imalent MS08 and Manker MK38 in terms of lumens. I don’t think that’s the case though but we’ll have to wait and see. My guess is that it will be more like the Astrolux EC06.
I’d be quite keen on 6 * SFT40 LEDs to give a good amount of throw.
Anduril would be great IMO but I know some people are against its complexity.
Lumintop have lots of Anduril lights but also many with Narsil or their own UI.
Lumintop have a dual channel FW4X, which uses their own UI with a separate coding mode for selecting the tint. I don’t think they’ll use that UI here, as quickly switching between LED and LEP whilst on is important.
I believe LEPs need constant current drivers (at least most LEPs don’t seem to use PWM). There aren’t many Anduril lights that use constant current drivers.
Neal, while you’re here do you think you could reply to me about the missing item from my last order? The titanium bezel that was not included in the package with all of the lenses (used the “additional $5 shipping fee” per your instructions). It’s been many weeks and I sent a few emails to the same address we had been using, no reply. I hate to start a Paypal claim and have been very patient. Thanks.
