Can’t find anything on it. The flat white would be awesome in this platform. Maybe in an FT03 also. Might have to make one myself. Also whish the 3v 50.2 would come in some warmer tints.
Intensity gets watered-down per unit area with the bigger die, but I’m guessing that’s where the amped-up number of lemons comes in, to make up for it.
Unno. The regular ’mini kicks arse, so dunno if I’d “need” a high-strung version of it to throw a bigger disc of light downstream.
Exactly my thought. Not sure how that constitutes as “pro” imo. “Pro” to me somewhat indicates things like stronger builds, beefed up output/performance, better quality parts, or even slight modifications to the form factor (more tactical looking/feel, different body for alternate larger capacity cells) improved waterproofing, etc.
the switch is awful if the same… i like the light but the mushy switch is some of the worst of all my lights…
and why does it have OP reflector ? Not sure this makes much sense to me why call it pro? the emitter needs a far bigger reflector imo…
i already have the astrolux ft03 with xhp50.2 so this light im not sure why they even made, did someone ask for it? havent seen any thread that they were gonna make on…
This light with a sliced XHP50.2 would be great IMO. Should be >3200 lumens and ~130kcd at 16A. Of course that is not thermally sustainable, but it would make a nice compact high output thrower.
For the record I have been using some 3V XHP50.2 from kaidomain. They are the 1D tint which they don’t carry anymore, but it turns out really nice when sliced. Nice neutral tint and a bit warmer than a Cree 3D. The corona is of course a bit greenish as you’d expect with the flip chip and side-phosphor, but to me it is not a big deal.
