Solarforce S2200 MT-G2

Here's an overview of MT-G2 with 2step and 4step.

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:

you speak the truth :beer:

The 4step is not full on A B C D, look at the graph from the datasheets.

It looks like it wont’ have enough heat sinking.

Yeah my bad, I fixed that. I was looking at them and realized something was off :stuck_out_tongue:
edit: looks like it didn’t save my edit :~

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.

+1

When that is said… Who is going to be the first to buy one?? :stuck_out_tongue:
I want to see a review! :slight_smile:

Here's an overlay.

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.

Nice work on that; it looks good.

Thanks, but exactly perfect.

When I saw the term “macadams”, I thought that was short for “macadamian nuts” (I’m from Hawaii) :)!

Somehow I don’t know why I didn’t pull the trigger for S1100, but could this be “The One” ?

Its sure looks awesome !


Business end

Nice machining tailcap

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...

if the price is right i will buy this one in a heartbeat

even if it has less runtime than the 7g10

i like the looks of this one!

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.

For $110, and if it's actually 2200 lumens, it would be worth it. They don't state whether those are OTF though.

Definitely going to hold off until there is a review, and it seems like there is likely to be a few more of these on the way.

I do prefer warmer tint, but agree completely. After using the MTG2, T6, U2, and U3 all look like crap, harsh, cold, white, and washed out.

THis I can’t resist!
