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.
It seems to be an evolved version of FENIX LR40R
It is wonderful that the center chip is LEP
I think the battery size should be 18650 because the body gets thicker.
I’m looking forward to the release, waiting for the official model announcement
The good thing about the LR40R is that flood LEDs and long-range LEDs can be lit simultaneously or independently, Marauder 2 could only select one side alone lighting The size is a little larger than X10, but I think that it is suitable as EDC
I do wonder how watertight it will be, the USB ports look like they are open to the environment. No flaps etc…
But maybe thats because it’s a prototype? Can’t imagine them making this light not watertight
The prototype has arrived! Charging some button tops now... I'll share initial impressions and info in a bit and a more thorough review soon. Let me know if you have any specific questions or things to test.
I’ve done some very quick and rough measurements. The XP-G3’s are hitting over 7000 lm and throw is around 500kcd (1400m). More details at the start of the thread.
The lens is glass!
The prototype is Lumintop’s own UI, which seems to work well. At least it’s not hold for off
That’s what I thought too. You have to unscrew the tail cap to get to the ports, which are on the main body tube.
I’m not saying this is an ugly light per se, well maybe I am a little. But it does strike me as uninspired when compared to all the bolder and pretty slick looking bigger lights we’ve seen released lately. Seems interesting for sure, but the emitter options also seem to be uninspired considering they’re only looking to pump 7000 lumen. Not necessarily a huge fan of the LH351D’s or 219C, but I think those would be a great option for one of these. 4000k especially, regardless if there is a slight loss of output. Or maybe even the 219F Acebeam is using in the Rider RX.
I guess I’m just looking for ways to make this light more appealing, because right now it’s appealing to me, but not really.
