Well, if I take a look at your MT G2 crash test table, an MT G2 receiving 3A give just 2000 Led Lumen, just. But even then, around 1450-1500 ANSI should remain and at 3A it will defenitely not get hot.
Like you said, a nice all purpose light. Not too big or bulky, decent runtime, easy to use and having an MT G2 the tint will probably be nice too.
Byteway: I had difficulties ordering from EDC-Light.com, and I saw that CN Quality Goods sell it now too. I will order it there.
Of course, same price
I would like to see that to, but I don’t own a PD40 so . . . . .
Why not in a tube light you ask? Well, a tube light might not appeal to everyone and if the Led gets warm a bigger head with more cooling fins will be abel to dissapate the heat much better that a tube light.
Having said that, on the German forum (TLF) several mods of tube lights with MT G2 have appeared.
These lights are a lot of fun and have a hughe WOW factor but they are defenitely not suitable for the average flshlight user……
iam just waiting,which model will be the smallest…with mtg…something like convoy i would like to get.
now we have time to wait to a new harvest of the new generation of flashlites…iam hungry for surprises:))
chinese-hurry up:))
I’m not. I specifically like the short version that runs on only one cell.
Compact, side switch, plenty light, decent cooling fins, just neat.
And it will defenitely NOT use the same driver as the JM30, because that one can only run an MT G2 on two cells, and it doesn’t have a side switch.
Still, the JM35 MIGHT run on two cells but I am not going to test that, risking a dead driver.
Maybe someone with the right knowledge and equipment can do that? Djozz maybe?
I’ll ask him when I have the lamp.
I also like the short version with one cell for pocketability, however I thought it would be nice to also have the option of running 2 and 3 cell configuration for extended runtime, and for when I don’t need to pocket it.
Looking at the JM30 photo below, it seems a little too short in hand with the large head it has.
Mainly I want the side switch, too bad the JM30 doesn’t have a side switch.
I got the very nice looking Shadow JM26 some months back. Also bought driver for the DQG Tiny. With that driver, I was able to put the MT-G2 into the JM26 and run a single 26650 to the big emitter. Very nice light, and yes, unique running a 6V emitter off a 4.2V cell.
