Does anyone have any data on this LED? I see Mateminco has released their MT-911 flashlight using it. I did a search online but did not come up with anything usefull, except listings for the new flashlight. Is it supposed to be something like an equivalent to the SBT90.2?
I am considering trying the light. I have a couple of other Mateminco lights and they are decent.
The price is OK. I found it for $50 with the 26650 and 26350 tubes. (I have no 26350 cells though, and the ones I found are expensive and “NO-name” cells so…)
Anyway I hesitate to buy it with no reviews and no information on the LED or driver used.
It’s probably the same as the G90 LED Haikelite uses.
It’s a domestically produced SBT90.2 kinda

My guess is it’s the same one used in the HT90, the NDLight from Nealsgadgets (aka G90, GT9090). Its a Chinese clone of the Sbt90.2. It’s not the same though. higher CCT and doesnt have as high output, but probbly 85% to 90% of the Sbt90.2 output for Lumens and candela.
So this may be a high CRI emitter? I haven’t seen that advertised by Mateminco. Does anyone know if there is a choice of CCT? If so, I’m very interested!
No, this is not a high cri LED. Just like 98% of the Chinese LEDs it’s cool white, low cri. The quality control is also not good and inconsistent. Some are cooler than others, so much so I wouldn’t rate it in the same league as the Sbt90.2. Probably higher thermal resistance and less powerful when direct driven. Still, it’s roughly 85% of the Sbt90.2 for a fraction of the price. Alao, in case anyone is wondering, this is NOT a competitor to the SBT90.2 lights on the market, not even the Wurkkos TS30S Pro. I’m reviewing both now and should have them done by the end of May.
I tested the Mateminco mt-911 that has this led and here’s the Turbo result for those interested (more to come in the review):
With the inclided Mateminco 5000 mAh 26650, tuebo at start: 2900 Lumens.
I’ll test more batteries, but the performance gains i think will be negligible sine I think this LED has a high thermal resistance degrees C/watt that limits output when direct driven.
