Ouch. Another reminder to not water test these lights.
In a way this thread could be labeled “Invasion of the High Output Chinese Led’s.” The table from Nightwatch below lists various Chinese LED’s and serves as a road map of what I hope to see. Of note at this point these LEDS seem more commonly used in flashlights from obscured companies like Nightwatch, JKK, etc. They are not available on Aliexpress and are found only on Nealgadgets, Kaidomain, etc. For extra buyer’s protection I’d recommend to use Paypal for your purchase.
What else these lights have in common is super low cost. It works out great because I like to experience 20000-lumen beams, but don’t want to pay big bucks for lights that I won’t be using often.
The Wurkkos TS32 is indeed the “odd man out” with Nichia 519a. And although it doesn’t match the brightness of the other superlights (16000 lm Wurkkos vs 20000 plus for the other big boys), the wall of light of the Wurkkos’s 519a 5000k is not only (super) bright enough, but also very clearly the most beautiful of the group. I already feel sure about that even though not all the lights are here yet. Beamshots are coming; I’m just waiting for one more of the super-lights.
