My first MTG2 flashlight***comparison added***

Yes, interesting, one other above requested a link to the source for the MT-G2 source — I, too, would like to know it, please…

I have ordered several and will have at least one extra. Shipping for one, or several, to NY was $13 plus about $2.5 ‘handling’…

You can isolate the led wires using kapton tape, it is very thin and can withstand high temperatures, I wish I had known of the group buy of MTG2’s I would have jumped in too.

there wasn’t really a group buy, i just ordered more than i need

so you just did, sort of

there is one on its way that is unspoken for - IF I don’t poof one when I test w/ this driver

This led could work really good with the Trustfire X7 SST-50, has a huge reflector and beefier heatsink… Might jus build it!

What is the biggest led reflector light out there?

I am interested if you decide to sell, let me know

The olight sr95 are some of the largest I have seen,like I said earlier I put the MTG2 in the TN31 reflector and it didn’t throw very well.The sst-90 reflectors at illuminationmachines.com are huge but tend to flood the beam because of the diamond shaped pattern.I think x7 and x6 might be big enough but spotlight is probably ideal at 5 to 6 inches.

Check out the “Lena” reflector it has an 11 degree beam, 111 x 87 mm and a 14mm hole for the led, looks promising!

Dang that’s big,but I still think a large SMO reflector would do it justice.Many ledil are designed for downlights or display lighting and boast a narrow beam but are still floody.Let me know if you get it,I’m interested in the results.

I’m still doing research for something bigger so I can put it in a regular spotlight, going to check on aliexpress…

did you check out the defiant linked above?

i think it is 92mm reflector, and $25 at home depot.

looks like DX sold out of this. overpriced anyway, but maybe available elsewhere

here’s a couple candidates

There was talk of a smooth 128 mm diameter x 120 mm deep reflector in one of the ST90 threads.

Little more to compare with on top is the sky ray king and bottom MTG2 modded zy-t13,king is brighter but not by much.King is cool white just to clarify,shots were taken at 10 feet from the wall and 30 seconds elapsed time.I also went further and measured amps at the emitter and got between 3.2 and 3.4 amps,which lends credibility to match's figure of about 2000 lumens.That seems accurate as the king is around 2300 lumens and to my eye,there's not much difference.Heat is definitely the enemy here,I timed the visual evidence of thermal sag at about 4min.19sec. where it dropped in output considerably.The middle of the light was hot but not to the point of unable to hold,so right off I can say a copper pill and a more robust host is needed to handle the heat created.I love this light more than ever now but I realize the inability to handle the heat makes impractical for over 5 minutes of use.

nice pic!

in most situations where I’d use a flashlight with that much output and throw, I’d probably be moving enough to help with cooling, at least a little.

Now that is an interesting reflector, quoted as having a 4 degree beam!

Thanks and you’re right about the moving to cool it!I toyed with the notion of de-doming(even though I’m not a fan of it)wondering if it would give SBT… type of throw,since I had only one I got cold feet.Maybe soon if I get some at a good price and get up the cojones to try it.

I thought so, too.

Cool,said reflector is for the cst-90,I think that would do the job.I’d love to see a picture and get prices.I was on their site just now and saw nothing on this.

TyTEK said they could do a run of 250 for $1500 and a group buy of 50 people would be about $30 for 5 reflectors each.
