40W HID "shorty" (similar to Firefoxes 35W or 40W)

207mmx70mm headx49mm body

The Firefoxes pricings are pretty high, shipped would be comfortably above 500 bucks. But their built is real good.

Just take "40 watts" as for your reference, for HIDs this is input power and also it might not be accurate.

What I have measured for the 65W round ballasts generic ones that you see on Ali/Ebay is that it is about 3500 lumens OTF for that 75mm reflector plus throw is in the 200k cd range. They significantly out throw my Fenix TK70 visually (so they would easily out throw a SR90 as well). But they are huge.

The good thing is that it is using 3 x 18650, so the "control is in your hands" and not like a huge battery pack.

40W Firefox is bigger

Wow. I thought the Firefox lights were the smallest form-factor for the power level.

I was going to PM you about this torch....do you have one yet ?

35W Firefox left, 40W Firefox right. The bigger reflector really improves things. 35W->40W would not net so much difference.

I want to get my telescope (haven't got it yet!), my trip to Beijing+Tianjin on Mar 11 is confirmed and i want to go to Japan (prob 6 days) in April before 29th which is their Golden Week. A visit to Japan is now or never as it's 1 year after the tsunami and things are normal now as far as places 200km away from Fukushima is concerned, JNTO (their Tourism promo board) is still giving some good stuff to the local tour agencies and it's really cheap at about 1k per pax for what 6 days.

So.... uugghh! Not much budget.... Lets see first...

Technically speaking, worst case scenario if my 65W is about 3500L OTF, then this is 2200L OTF. But if it's not underpowered then it could be brighter.

207mmx70mm headx49mm body Dimensions confirmed.

So this is with 4 x 18650 and those Firefoxes are powered by 3 x 18650?

The 35W Firefox is quite a bit smaller than the 40W Firefox. 35W FF is 3 x 18650 while the 40W FF is 4 x 18650. This CNQG one is 4 x 18650.

I just saw a FireFox ff3 on ebay… Is the 40 watt and I bid… I hope to get it for $200.00 and is in the US !!

Sounds good! Just be aware that you can get them for under 300 dollars so don’t get too carried away with the bidding.

Are they available in the US ?

Should be. I put the link on the 400 dollar thrower poll thread. It says free shipping worldwide.

Alright…… On backorder ……

I have a Magic Fire coming. I’ll report back on it if it ever arrives……

How much was it ?

Got a “scratched” one for $90. Last one for that deal I believe.

Did it arrive yet ?

I haven’t got to play with it much yet, always start working right when lights arrive…. But yeah, it beats the socks off a STL-V2. I posted a size comparison pic in some other thread, I’ll post it again here.

Hopefully I can get some time to give a few impressions of it, but it’s pretty cool :slight_smile:

Looks like 134000 lux@1m (ok 134.0 kcd) but I’m guessing only around 2500 lumens otf. Not sure about the lumens though… Need a better method there.

I picked up a 35W HID a few days ago from eBay….what type of output should I expect from this?
