GB Interest ///OFFICIALLY CLOSED 11/8 @ 9pm CST/Maxtoch M24 Sniper with XP-L HI /// 250K lux @ 4.3 Amps!!!

Please put me down for one! Thanks!

Is there a particular reason why?

IMHO, L-M-H would be a mistake. This is a thrower/weapon light. Strappin’ this to a rifle (or not) and wanting it to light up your target…and it comes on ‘L’ would be underwhelming and a complete bummer. :~

This is a thrower and it should throw-from-the-get-go! :exmark:

3A is Very low for our BLF SE standards.

Case in point: The little BLF SE A6 does Over 5 amps with a XP-L. - I have one and it hasn’t started any fires, yet:-)

I see Upping the Amps as being A Must!

3A is for continuous running in a lighting fixture somewhere out there in the dark, cruel world, not something that belongs in a Flashaholics light:-)

You probably should mention this to Maxtoch right off the bat, as they may need some convincing about how the BLF rolls!

Thank you,

Hi Krono,

It’s probably just my psychological makeup.

I dunno - Most of my lights start on low, one exception being my Convoy L4. - Bugs the hell out of me, as I want to have something to look forward to, not to just go right to the Max out of the gate, with all the other modes then seeming Anti-Climatic. - It does have mode memory, so I could start on low, but then High is the next in line. - Just don’t like it that way.

As for the rifle thing: I can only agree 100% with you there - I just don’t play that game. - Pistols, Rifles, Shotguns - Love em all! - Just don’t ever see the need for a light on any of them… Hard enough for me to hit what I want in the daytime:-)

I can see that I am going to be badly outnumbered here with my L-M-H request, so I will now withdraw it.

Thanks, and have a great day!

They will negotiate better I think as we get closer to the minimum quanities but I already have a message in about amps and tint options so I will let everyone know if I hear anything about those

Thanks Robo!

Going from 3A to 5A gives 40% more light (percepted by your eyes as 20%) at the cost of 80% more power. This extra power comes with a huge effect on runtime and heat-management.

There is always a trade-off and the closer you get to maximum output, the more unfavorable the trade-off becomes. My personal flashaholic idea of where I think it really becomes unfavorable is 80% of the maxium output, for non-flashaholics that would be more like 65%. In case of the XP-L(Hi), 80% of maxiumum output is at 4.5 amps.

How about an M12 version with XP-L HI? I'm totally down for that right now.

In the very near future I think that we will see many lights with XP-L HI.

If not, then those makers will just not get to sell any. - In regards to any Thrower type lights, I for one will pass any by that does not have it.

Thanks,
-Chuck

I’m happy with 4-5amps :slight_smile: I mean cmon, 3A is boring. Its for the general consumers. Furthermore the double cell means runtime isn’t affected much…

By my measurements the newer upgraded M24 is already doing around 3.4A-3.5A.

Will it outthrow an olight m3xs ut?

Count me in, especially if we can get to the 100 unit price! I dunno what it is, but I’ve got a thing for throwers now!

Probably not the M3XUT, but then, it would be close--but the Maxtochs have no step-down, either. Plus, the tint would be much nicer for illumination purposes.

Hi

Good flashlight and good price :slight_smile: , someone could tell me the measure of this flashlight reflector?

Thanks!

Can we get a kcd figure?

Are we talking 200kcd, 300kcd? 400? Or

Oh and 100 units is a big number. Don't think we will ever get that.

The best quote I heard was between 208 and 211kcd. That was with XM-L2 U2 de-domed. This should be about the same, but offer better tint (which, in this case, helps the throw due to color contrast). But I've noticed my XP-L HIs are brighter and sustain brightness longer than my XM-L2s. They are brighter at lower current and can more efficiently produce their power, so they should be better throwers.

It has a 63mm I believe

Thanks, but 63mm is the measures of the head, not the reflector…
