I found beamshots!

I was getting worried about the lack of reflector but this seems quite strong. If anything, I will have to find a way to add in a reflector to make the XML more efficient but it looks good from these pictures!

Kind of strange the other yezl lights have 3 mode w/o blink and this is 5.

I just checked, it,s still unshipped. That's a very bad service. If it,s still unshipped tomorrow, I will cancel it.

So how are we going Ric on that postage? Have you sent them yet?

It's more like either aspheric or reflector. If you use both, the reflector will only result in a quite ugly spill pattern.

Hm, does look interesting. Maybe the red is a bit more forgiving :) I've seen uglier images, e.g. here.

Here's my favorite, one of the worst things you can do in that respect, MCE with OP reflector and aspheric :)

The light that is caught by the reflector only gives that outer ugly spill, it does not contribute to the spot at all.

Well, it's still unshipped. I decided to give them a last chance. I used their message form and I made them some kind of an ultimatum.

Edit:

I just saw I have got a private message from Ric. Apparently it is shipped now, but the the info on my account was not yet updated.

Ric answered via email. Those Yezl T9 orders will be shipped tomorrow with tracking number. They already have been packed. It is 2200hrs HK time now.

Very interesting Ric-CN. I'll be ordering this shortly.

Ric-CN,

30USD sent at time of posting for one Yezl T9.

Any news Ric? Also sent you an email the other day.

Anyone else heard anything recently about these?

I got my tracking number for the T9 yesterday and it will be on a plane today. Most likely packing and also shipping yours out. :beer:

Hmmm, is an XM-L (125°) really suited for flood-to-throw lights? Especially in throw position a lot of light is lost by hitting the side walls instead of the lens. OK, I can see how this light will be useful in flood position, I love the beams on my C78 and UF H2B. The beam angle of the XR-E (90°) is more suited to flood-to-throw lights, though.

Hi Rec,
I want to buy 1xT9+1xbattery charger+2x 18650 batteries if possible.
If it is OK for you, can you give price and shipping informaiton.

I want to use T9 with my bike, is it possible to use it with my bike ?

Thanks

Yes, you are correct. I have too many throwy lights. I got this for (1) Shelf queen, big head darth vader looks (2) Flood.

Some lights like UF U-80 can flood, but the spot is extremely ugly. Only my Xeno E03 XM-L is flood, but it cannot flood powerfully for long. For flood you'd need power. I have 2 x 65W HIDs when operated in flood mode can flood a few blocks of apartments 100m away. That's really cool.

The XR-E with it's high dome as sort of pre-collimator does have an advantage in that respect, i.e. it catches more light. However, that does not increase the throw, only the size of the spot.

The XM-L T6 @3A has (with all other things kept equal) 37% less emittance ("surface brightness") than the XR-E ez900 R2 @1A, which gives ~19% less throw, regarding only the emittance.

However the bigger die size helps overcome lens aberrations, so it might be a bit better than that.

Guessing a "relative throwiness" factor of 10000 and an effective lens diameter of 40 mm, I expect something around 400m throw, i.e. 40kcd spot intensity - not bad :)

Can't wait to receive that light and do actual measurements...

Edit: Uh, someone posted that that light is under-driven @1.5A? That'll reduce throw...
