Hello,
My NovaTac is now two years old and it was time for something new.
And this is the new light:
Battery: 1 x 18490 AW IMR
Led: 3 x XP-E HEW (High efficiency white, up to 139 Lumen @ 350mA)
Driver: integrated on the triple board (L334)
User Interface: High, Mid, Low without memory
Output: ca. 1000 Led Lumen and about 850 OTF Lumen
Reflector: triple XP-E/G TIR lens, narrow clear
Switch: McClicky
Material: Al Cu Mg Pb bead blasted
Dimensions: 94mm x 28mm (head), 23mm (body), (even shorter than some CR123 lights)
Weight: 93 Gramm (battery includet!)
Also it had to pass some tests:
Three hours at
To get warm again
Also I tested the water resistance at three Bar for three hours. (equal to a depth of 30 meters)
Thank you for watching!

Very nice... is the Lux-rc one of the B series drivers? Does it now stay regulated at 4.2 volts? (I thought the older ones needed >4.8v.)
Elegant design and impressive output for an EDC!

I especially like the bead blasted finish. Why did you go for the very uncommon 18490 format instead of 18650/18700?

Hello,
thank you!
It has to fit in my pocket, so 18650 batteries would be to large and 16340 batteries do not have much capacity.
jacktheclipper:
Now put a clip on it .
No I like clips as much as I need them and because I don´t need them...
Yes, it stayes regulated. But if the battery gets under about 3.5 V you can not distinguise between High and Med.
It draws about 2.8 A at High.
Regards
Fritz

900 lumens? Those are some hard working XP-Es. Great looking torch.

And it is so tiny too! ==> Mega Cute! :-)
Very well executed light. The style is so you (judging from previous builds)
I just wonder - did you also cook the battery and the lens?

Of course, I designed the light
But you are right, I think it is so great that every "designer" has hin own handwriting so you immideately see if the light is from47s, fenix, jetbeam or another brand...
Yes, I cooked everything! Actually the light was turned on on low during cooking. Perhaps the flash was too bright, here is another picture:
Also I put it in the freezer again
