60mm (D) × 50mm (H) reflector throw estimation

Barkuti · 2018-07-21T21:27:54.000Z

60mm (D) × 50mm (H) SMO reflector found at Kaidomain. Proportions are close to that of a typical ∅42 × 31mm C8 SMO reflector.

Reflective surface area is more than 3x that of the typical C8 reflector.

How much more throwy is this bigger reflector? 2.92x? 3.29x? …

Cheers :-)

Using the same sized LED die as an XPL HI, candela would be almost tripled yes.

So you would go from 100kCd+ to 300kCd+.

So about 600m+ to 1100m+.

It simply depends on the front surface area. Just calculate that for both reflectors (subtract the area of the flat part at the bottom).

Advanced calculators for theoretical lumens, lux, beam divergence, and more, of custom LED flashlights Flashlight Modding and DIY Parts

These are some advanced calculators I have made to help me estimate the final performance of the custom flashlights I build, and I decided to share it with you guys so you can do the same Some example screenshots: Aspheric Lens: [image] Standard Reflector: [image] Recoil Reflector: [image] . . Using these equations, it is possible to find: -candela (lux @ 1m) -throw (ANSI to .25 lux) -lumens in spot -lumens in spill (for standard reflectors only) -total lumens OTF …
