Future project proposal: the A-family

A7

A7 is an EDC flooder.
It comes with a 35-36 mm 7-LED TIR lens. This is a common lens size as it fits nicely standard MR16 light bulbs. It shouldn’t be hard to find a good one for a good price. Also, it shouldn’t be a problem to offer this light with clear, pebbled and frosted lens choices.
Such clear lens should be slightly throwier than standard Carclo triples / quads though the choice of Samsung LH351D makes the light very floody.
Dedomed variant should offer some throw.

This is one of the hottest hot-rods among A-lights, producing huge wall of light for several seconds.
