Does this Light Look Familiar?

Co-worker pointed me toward this light. Does anyone know this as another make/model? Any thoughts on what it’s like? Mediocre? Throwy? Floody? It seems familliar but I can’t place it.

Thanks,
Garry

Looks like a variation on a design that SolarStorm popularized:

Reminds me of the Niwalker stuff, but its probably just the physical design that’s similar.

Depending on the head construction and heat path, maybe a good host for an XP-L HI Triple Triple!

5

I know him. His name is Bob. He’s a bit lazy.

Yeah reminiscent of an SP03 or Supfire M6, it also reminds me of a light I’ve seen on Aliexpress a lot with a weird chain hanging of the side. Can’t remember the name of that one though.

7

The stock Supfire M6 is brighter at 2500 lumens and less than half the price. Of course it’s 4 cells, but I run mine on 1.

Looks good but 3 seperated reflectors are really size-inefficient, I modded an Eagletac M30LC2C also with 3 independent reflectors about the size of a P60, with 3x XP-L HI drawing over 9.5A but doesn’t throw that well, significantly less throw than a modded C8 at 105kcd (which has a much smaller head). So imagine this one rated only 1800 lumens with XM-L2… The merged reflector design is much better for effective throw and spill.

eh, I think that’s subjective. I much prefer the beam pattern of separate reflectors.

Following up on the M6 comment earlier, I agree the M6 is a better option than the light in the OP. It’s cheaper, and known to have great build quality.

Yeah, I didn’t even think to recommend that one instead! This co-worker mentioned he really wanted a “spotlight” type light (i.e. a thrower). I told him generally a multi-emitter is floodier not throwy.

Those reflectors do look pretty small like will34 mentioned, so probably very floody. The only really throwy multi-emitter lights I know of are the SP03 and the Shocker

12

Roche M170 has the 3 emitters and carry handle. Other than that they’re not too similar.

Nage comes to mind when I saw the light in the first link.

Yes, that was the one with the chain I couldn’t think of

10 to 1 it’s just as mediocre as the others in that line. For the price, it would be cheaper to buy a Solarstorm SP03. The reflectors are larger in the solarstorm and the price runs from $57 USD at gearbest, to $79 USD at fasttech. I am sure there’s more sources as well, but the Solarstorm was pretty good stock, at least the ones I had were pretty good output and not bad for reaching out there.
