OK folks ...I did some more measurements.
2100, take out your wallet , ...as per request I did measurements of current once again, with the same batteries (AW 2200):
Balder BD-4: 1.65A
Thrunite Catapult: 2.05A*
Crelant 7G5: 1.9A
*- the current drawn by Catapult rises in time. It starts from low 1.9A values, and after a minute or so, it settles on 2.05A and remains stable. It seems that the circuit needs some time to reach full speed. (lol ).
Celining bounce test:
Fenix TK45: 20.3 lux
Balder BD-4: 19.3 lux
Thrunite Catapult: 20.5 lux / 21.7 lux*
Crelant 7G5: 20.9 lux
*- without stainless steel bezel
Now the best part. I made throw measurements. The measurements were calculated from 17.88m, so they are a bit higher than in my Balder BD-4 review (where they were taken from approx. 8m).
Fenix TK45: 10560 lux/1m
Balder BD-4: 37250 lux/1m
Thrunite Catapult: 47800 lux/1m
Crelant 7G5: 59100 lux/1m
I repeated measurements in two rounds to avoid errors or mistakes. They were taken after 1 minute from turn on. Catapult managed to reach its full speed, other lights stabilized their LED/MCPCB junction temperature, so these results were stable.
This is most amazing thrower in this size class . If only UI would be more sensible.
ps. ...I almost forgot. PWM is not visible. If it's used, it's way above 5kHz, because this frequency I can detect by rapid waving. When waving 7G5 on low mode, I see just a smooth trace.
