It doesnt say they are ansi FL1 lumen…. it could be emitter lumen… 65 mins on high… 7g10 is nearly double that but is a 2s2p config vs 3s… i wonder what the tint is like also
That’s the thing about the MT-G2…they’re all EasyWhite, so the greatest deviation you can have is a 4-step MacAdam ellipse bin that is +/- centered on the black body line.
Here’s a visualization for 2-step MacAdam bins:
The leftmost blue quadrangle contains bins 5(A, B, C, D)1-4:
pre-caffeine, I would like to say I understand that stunning graph perfectly, but its a bit foggy to me at this point.
Interestingly enough, SF Sales has temporarily dropped the price of the SF1100 to $110. I had emailed them for an expected availability date and price on the new monster…very interested myself.
anyone remember comfychair putting an mt-g2 in his s1100? I think solarforce just did exactly the same thing, at least they appear to be driving it properly if the lumen claim is to be believed.
I still prefer my mt-g2 torchlite though, buying functional flashlight’s is so tedious :bigsmile:
And, to get that output they've either upped the current over the S1100's XML driver, or the MTG2 is on copper. (or, well, I guess there's a third option: they're lying about the lumens)
I agree. What's the point of buying something that doesn't need improvement?!
The reflector is a different design than the XML version, OP and no flat area around the emitter hole at the base.
I'm not a fan of the warmer tints in general, but the MT (at least the one we've all been getting from Cutter) somehow makes every other tint I have in XML and XPG look like poo, without itself being noticeably yellowish or brownish. That's something I don't think is possible to plot out on a graph.
I wonder how much different the beam pattern will be from the smooth S1100 reflector retrofitted with the same LED... mine didn't change between the XML->MTG2 except that everything got BIGGER (and prettier). It still has the same tight center spot, with an intermediate, erm, spot, around it, and then the soft outer spill.
edit: Also their description of the UI seems different, I can't work out if it's really been changed. It sounds almost like the blinkies are hidden? I can't make sense of it...
Doesn't look like it's available yet on Solarforce sales but when it is (if it doesn't cost as much as a car) I'm all over it. Foy needs to get MT-G2 unstupid.
