0.5 or 1 lux is more pratical, 0.25 lux is barely visible in most cases

This is true, but the standard specs use 0.25 lux. So people stick with that, to make numbers comparable across the entire industry.

Tubercle:

Gonna be a pencil beam.

Yes, it will probably be the pencil-est of pencil beams. At 550 kcd and maybe 800 to 1000 lumens, that’s 550 to 687 cd/lm. So the beam will probably be even tighter than the BLF GT. It has slightly more cd/lm and the reflector is smaller, so we can expect this one to perform extremely well at a distance but won’t really be useful up close.

Basically, it’s optimized specifically to be as “pencil beam” as possible.

Sounds like it might be a good option for a rifle-mounted shooting light, assuming it has stiff springs at both ends of the battery to prevent recoil disconnect. I’m definitely interested.

Needs a fixed aspheric lens option! How cool would that be

Fixed aspheric with RLT/wavien collar. 1.5MCD. That would be sweet! I wonder if someone is going to do that mod.

Well if you all are going to cream and dream…LEP with Fixed aspheric with RLT/wavien collar (wonder if Vinh can do this?) for under a $1,000.00 dollars…

Something that complicated with LEP and RLT collar will require a manufacturer like Microfire or Acebeam to do. I do wish someone will make one in the future. Probably can get 3+ MCD in a light of this size.

It’s probably too late to consider aspheric for this but maybe some small changes could allow a fixed aspheric version. Here’s hoping because there is very few new lights in this market and the “mid to large” reflector market is beginning to get saturated with cheaper lights.

I don’t see why the SBT90G2 is hyped that much, just because it’s a new LED ?

Everything is a matter of finding the right combination of host, driver and emitter, just like Hank does with this updated D1sV2 which should be really good according all specifications.

Well it out throws an XHP35 HI whilst putting out over double the lumens. It might seem expensive but in a 70mm light it should perform about as good as a TN40 v2 whilst being much smaller and cheaper. The only alternative I can see to the SBT90G2 is 4 2mm White flats.

Do they make those Osram LEDs in anything but 6500k? I don’t know that I’ve ever seen any neutral or warm tints but I’m not very experienced with the emitter.

There are a few tint bins but the range is limited, I think 5400K is the lowest. Kaidomain managed to source a batch of the lower CCT tint-bins for the PM1 White Flat version (2mm2). link

Unfortunately according to Vinh they are actually not 5400 but about 6500.

tick tock

what would a W1 version likely cost?

brenden23 · 2019-10-22T01:19:52.000Z

Can’t wait!

Any idea on colors? Surely he has to make cyan an option right?

deleted-200707 · 2019-10-22T01:30:59.000Z

Nope…He needs to finish what he started with the smooth green. I NEED a smooth green to finish my set!

justanotherguy · 2019-10-24T02:48:19.000Z

I asked about this light…

“We are still working on it, it will still take some time before releasing.”

A bit vague… But I want it soon!

My guess would be $60-$65 but he hasn’t mentioned any prices yet. Could be more or could be less.

Bump, any news ?

justanotherguy · 2019-11-02T18:45:13.000Z
