Niwalker BK-FA30S

I think I have almost all pictures taken for the review

now to writing

camera at 1.5m height like eyes of a smaller person than me, holding the light like a that big person would walk with it

Thanks,

Is that on TURBO? If so, It does not seem like it is.

Although my trail shot is in more darkness, look how much more intense my beam is and also the spill/flood is even a bit brighter with only 750 lumens.

I would not think the light pollution with your shot would make that much of a difference.

it is turbo

light trail and illumination of target depends massive on the camera setting I could have a 200 Lumens cheap crap light look like 5000 lumens in total dark forest
just look at the lights on the building those are 30-50W incandescent light bulbs


just keep in mind the end of the house row is over 200m away and unlit

P-S. I forgot to upload the Google maps picture

OK,Look forward to your review in the Kindenheim[12km west of Manheim] Forest where my Girlfriends Mother was born! :slight_smile:

Will you test it at longer distance for example 10 meter? Can you state the distance info in your coming review? Thanks.

10m measurement shows me same same result than earlier today at 6m
685kcd

I get with my Luxmeter 668kcd measured at 6m in my apartment, usually a bit more throw at 10m expected

I could release the review now, but I have still to mesasure the currents for each level and the brightness percentage of the different modes

I wonder could it be that your initial 5m measurement should have lower lux reading, but due to daylight and reflection, it measured higher. And you did this 10m measurement in the dark and less reflection, it kind of result in similar result.

Look forward to your review. Thanks.

review online with most stuff

as the light has not much spill the indoor readings are not that bad off, with a flooder you have to go outside and use a tripod for the Luxmeter

I just noticed that I had my laser rangefinder set to the bottom to do the distance measurement, so the actual distance was 10.1m
so we get almost 700k, but still those Lux readings are from a cheap meter, so +/-10% possible


ya, i understand the uncertainties involved.
Just wish to reduce differences between your candela number and Maukka’s candela number.

Measured 7250 lux at 10 meter distance which gives 1702 meter throw for my TN42 CW.

My BK-FA30s arrived today. I’m not sure what to think of the UI just yet. I do think it to be a little odd.

If I can be honest wolfdog, none of your beam shots are very good.

No disrespect meant, it just seemed odd that you were asking for “better beam shots” when yours appear so novice.

If I can be honest your opinion is in the minority and it is also meaningless. :wink:

@seery

Lexel admitted it was raining and they were not that good,still better than mine, eh?

I get a kick how you say no offense and then insult my beam shots! I must consider the source!

Another amazing thing is you had to dig something up from over 3 weeks ago!

WD, as long as you are happy with your beamshots, that’s all that matters.
No one else cares. Why should you.
I find you annoying.

yep, they are close to where i live about an hour away.
Alot of good stuff, and people here in the south :+1:

wow, nice lux meter.
your the only other person ive seen to have one like me :+1:
btw, this is the gt measured at 10 meters

you want better beamshots?
get a professional camera , and tripod, like alot of us have, and spend months on end, if not years, learning to use it.
there are so many lense choices to shoot, depending on what you are wanting to achieve for your photo.
then you need to know iso settings, shutter speeds, f stops, white balance, etc, to get a decent pic.
that phone you are using is not going to cut it to get pics like this, trust me.
you want professional pics, get the stuff to do it with , and put in your time.

notice the clarity, and lack of noise
btw, this is the GT , hitting a tower at a mere 700 meters
just getting warmed up :+1:

I made beammshots compared to TN42 I had here one day modding for someone else, basicall mod it early evening then shipping it back

It was raining again

I had the opportunity to compare the NW GT driver modded Niwalker with a CW GT driver modded Thrunite TN42

all pictures 50m from target

a bit overexposed on the first shot

reduced ISO on camera for control shot

zoomed out both lights

TN42 CW

To me… it looks like the beamshots of the Niwalker has a slightly more defined hotspot contrary to your lux readings.
