Seller says XM-L2 in headline and description, but pictures seems to show XP-Gs, and so does manufacturers image description.. FAIL..
Otherwise, based on earlier auctions, some of these seems to have been sold for not too extreme prices. Im not buying, but I sure would like to see a review.. :)
YOU, reading this.. Click buy on one of these. You know you want to. 0:)
Because NDT-forbid that every single light have it’s emitter driven to the ragged edge of it’s operating envelope.
An emitter’s output is a parabolic curve. As you increase output, it takes more and more energy to get the next lumen. It’s the law of diminishing returns. By using several emitters driven less harshly they can get a higher net efficiency from the torch, thus yielding a longer runtime for a given output setting.
I’m not an electronics expert, but could you even push any kind of real output from three emitters with 4 AA batteries? Even if you could, wouldn’t it be a pathetic run time? I for one like the idea of a decent balance between output and run time from a form factor like this one. Hopefully they aren’t driving them too hard.
All I can see is the introduction of a point of failure, whoops droped my torch Sh the screens broken, talk about the Iphone of torches, this for me is a definite unnecessary weak point, your paying extra for something less rugged, no way would I ever own one.
