Neal sent me photos ( and also an incoming light ) of his newest Nightwatch NI40 but with a new OSRAM led, the S2WP.
The current page in Neal’s site of the NI40: Nigthwatch NI40 (the S2WP not yet included )
Compare its KCD to the other leds, not bad throw and lumen output combination at all!
————————————————————————- the NI40 in between the NA40 (top) and the long throw Flat-White-equipped IRA-lite series.
3V as well I’m guessing? I’d like to see what it can do in a 26650 tube-style light like the S11, would have a pretty useful beam profile and some serious output it seems.
I really love how Nightwatch offers the best leds around. Dedomed sst-40. Sliced and diced xhp50.2. S2wp. White Flat. Nearly all the best choices out there.
At the same time I really really miss good e-swich ui…….and I so dislike the bulk added by tail clicky…
Anyone have a datasheet on the S2WP. I just got Nightwatch sample from Neal with it, but can’t find anything about it. Love the consistency of the tint though. No rainbows here.
But why do we need it? The SBT-90 Gen2 has a single die of basically the same size (=> no donut hole) and is really not too expensive for what it does. The luminance should also be similar. I guess a 2S2P or even 4S configuration of the Osram LED might make sense in some applications, the drivers are smaller and cheaper this way.
Received two Nightwatch NI40 Stalker 2019, one has Osram S2WP led and the other a Cree XHP50.2 blue led from nealsgadgets.com
————————————————————————————note: the XHP50.2 is a ‘blue’ led
Additional pictures to follow as the current weather is not cooperative and some time constraints.
