It’s a Tank of a light. I have had it for awhile, seen a few different LED’s and it had a 2x26350 XHP50 (better tint, cleaner tighter beam, closely shaved and diffused the silicone) in it last, with the tactical UI….
It is really a shame that the Q8 extension tube is not happening!
A Q8 with L4P ledboard, Blue springs,extension tube (8p), thick wires and 4x 3V XHP50.
Would be a badass sodacan hotrod (and with +60 amps also a perfect instant waterheater if you are out in the wild).
Nice KB! I expected those amps and lumens, though thought little higher in lumens at that amp level - are those ANSI (maukka) calibrated? If so, then it's right where I expected.
Yea I'd say it's the perfect light for this LED in a single setup, least for handling the heat.
Steve - I didn't see it that way, but guess it came out that way...
Yeah Tom the T/A tube is Maukka calibrated, the light is sitting on top of the centering ring, I get the best reading just below the inner lip it rests on, so I’d expect just a bit more output, it was just a quick read between 3 of my 26650’s. I checked the amp pull with my Fluke clamp on.
I rigged up my dual switch C8F 21700’s with a custom build of Anduril that comes on to the last memorized brightness when you connect power/use fwd switch. It’s possible!
I was going to order 3 bare LED’s and shipping to the US was $18. More than the product amount. I guess I can understand the cost but I’ll be passing on the 3V 50.2’s.
Another annoying thing is that shipping increases as the number of LEDs increases, even if it’s just bare LEDs. I seriously doubt that the package size for bare LEDs varies that much.
Right now they don’t even have that… Stock is out, pre-order only.
Just popped in a 30T to test the amp pull using the Fluke 36 and then the UT210E using an 8awg jumper. Had the light against the bench top and close to the chest on the last one, shirt started smelling weird, like burning fabric softener and chest hair, the beam got really freaking
hot…fast… HOT!
