Hold onto your wallets. New Eagletac MT-G2 and XM-L2 lights

[lionheart_2281]

Interesting light, ouch on the wallet, probably stick to the SRK for my flooder lol

[lightjunkie1968]

Can’t wait for someone to do a review on it is 138.00 $ correct?

[jmpaul320]

$138… lol

hold on tight,must not press the panic button :~

@comfychair

Match measured a P0 MTG2 at over 3100L, and that was on an aluminum board. The rated lumens on this one of 2300 is right about in line with a 3-3.3A drive current, I’m going to guess the ‘turbo’ mode is around 4-4.2A. Those numbers depend on how much attention they’ve paid to the thermal issues, but are completely plausible given the battery config used here. Similar claims from a light using a 2S2P config are… well, suspect.

Given that the original XML was overdriven to 7A successfully, I’m guessing the mtg2 and xml2 would be able to be driven just a bit more (on copper of course or water cooled).
But I wouldn’t be surprised to see someone overdriving an mtg2 upwards of 5A.

some crude measurements of the MT-G2 on a Noctigon board

I have been waiting for a while for people to come up with high current testing of the MT-G2 on copper, and now decided to do some testing on my own, I tested up to 7300 mA before the power supply gave up (not the led). When looking at the numbers below keep in mind that nothing is calibrated, and I do not have the skills and certainly not the accuracy of match or texaspyro, let go something fancy as a integrating sphere. But I will show you the set-up so you can judge the experiment for yoursel…

@Old-Lumens

I imagine in a few months the market will have bunches of MT-G2 lights out there (with up to 5000 lumens estimates on them) and prices will come down as the clowns clones pop up all over. Send in the clones…

when that time comes, I’m gonna looking for one too
is MT-G2 draining battery fast at their recommended amperage drawn?

I think that both the XM-L and MT-G2 are spec’ed for max forward current of 3000 mA, so current drain would be same at the “recommended” draw.

3A at 6v is double the wattage of 3A at 3v. MTG2 tailcap current will double and runtime halve. My S1100 mutant still does over one hour continuous on high, long before the cells go flat you'll be searching for some welding gloves if you want to be able to hold the thing anyway.

[noboneshotdog]

I personally won’t buy this one, but it sure is awesome to see what may be coming down the pike from other manufactures!!!

[jmpaul320]

these lights are nice

personally im saving for a multi mtg2 or mkr light

3-6 months? maybe well see some?

still looking forward to a review of these though

No, you must buy single emitter first before buying multi emitter. But I am thinking the same. Wonder will there be 8000 lumens 4*mtg2.

[CarpentryHero]

Multi MTG2 would be awesome

[InfinitusEquitas]

Couldn't be very small though. 4xMTG2 driven at 3-3.5A each... that would require a lot of batteries, and lots of mass to deal with the heat.

That will be about 70 to 80 watt? And active cooling using fan to have less weight. And 9x18650. I think it should be about 2kg in weight. That will be brighter than most HID.

I found out by checking out this light that there is a retail store less then 2 hours away that has many chinese flashlights for sale, planning road trip…

[Slim_Pickens]

I’ll wait for someone HKJ or Selfbuilt to review it, then decide. Good time to like flashlights, it is.

Up for pre-order, ETA end of the month.

@cat eyes

i live near going gear in smyrna, ga
they are eagletac dealer….
it is 30 mins. away….
i have never been there…
i hate to drive

Cats are terrible drivers.

Seriously, I live at least 30 minutes from Going Gear and it is definitely worth the trip at least once. They have just about every flashlight you can think of and they are out where you can try them out (on tethers).

[LumenHound]

And so it starts.
I bet there will be 2 or 3 similar lights introduced within the next 14 days.
Just sayin’…you know how it goes.
