The Chinese should go back to E.E. classes and design some new drivers. Let’s not mess around and start at a measly 10 amps, and go from there. I want to see 18 gauge wire glow like an incandescent.
They’re Chinese lumens, so half of 12 is 6 = 6,000! It’d beat the X60, but with next-mode memory and the 18-inches of girth, you’d have to be at least 1/2 insane to invest in it.
Luckily Match posted quite an intensive data on this XML T6 LED.
assuming my calculations are correct with 0.77A at 3.7V, his test results are around 303.5 lumens for that current and voltage input.
Using efficient drivers (Senser Xtremes) and assuming 5Ah cells, you would have close to half an hour runtime on 3A.
More than enaugh time to melt that pathetic flashlight head!
Yeah, I read that earlier. I was talking about the stock version… Correct me if Im wrong but the stock has XM-L T6 in it. Beast driver seems to work flawlessly in my 9xT6 torch. It really slurps up those 3 King Kongs but man it’s a lumenmonster!
i agree. the number of lights they make with the 5-mode driver, next mode memory, and rediculous Lumen claims is getting over-done boring. ( Low,med,hi,strobe,SOS)
No way this thing can run to it's full potential without almost immediately smoking the emitters...where is all the heat going to go? Unless they water cool the dang thing. Absolute insanity...cool...but still...daggum
12000 lumens, eh? I have NO interest in ANY light that won’t run at full power for more than a few minutes or seconds without throttling back to a lower setting or self destructing. None whatsoever.
