Will someone with the GT try the enderman focus?

Light collimation with an LED flashlight

As most of you already know, it is impossible to collimate all light from an LED flashlight since it is not an infinitely small point of light. However, for the purpouse of this topic, I will attempt to explain how to “collimate” a light source as best as possible in order to obtain the maximum amount of throw. First of all, we begin with a collimation template made by drawing shapes in sketchup, exporting as a transparent image, trimming away extra transparent pixels in photoshop, and t…

Pretty interested to know how well the stock light is focused.

The GT got mentioned in Advanced Knife Bro’s review of the Lance of Ra. Lance of Ra Flashlight Review. 2.5 million candela- longest beam distance ever? - YouTube

” probably the longest throwing flashlight ever made”

lol he has no idea of what currently exists on this forum and on other flashlight forums

@The Miller

It is not random, it is the order in which Neal has processed the received payments.
It is the list of people paid, if you are on it, it means your payment is received and processed by Neal

Thanks the Miller.

[kaybi]

I believe he means production lights, Enderman. I don’t think you can actually buy anything I would consider a flashlight that has more throw than the lance of ra.

[The_Miller]

Thanks peple for providing missing info, lts of PMs rolling in with phonnumbers and such.
The excel sheet must come along very nicely now!
I hope neal has it ready soon so we can move to the third PM round (will be some people on the list for their second). When this PM round is send out, all people not received it will know the price is $150, also new entries at that time.

@Natasha

Thanks the Miller.

heheh Enderman, The Driver and other mega thrower builders are surely not impressed by the numbers of even an Eye of Ra like LED flashlight

Sure he knows, he’s a member of this forum, hence the GT mention.

It’ll be ONE of the longest throwing LED lights ever made.

I love his reviews, I watch every one of them

The big difference is reflector vs aspheric.

Giggles will be the furthest throwing LED production reflector light that I am aware of.

With a different LED you should be able to improve the throw even more.

yeah, if somebody could squeak out 2 mill lux, with about 1500 lumens, it would be pretty sweet

I highly doubt that a 2mcd build would have 1500 lumens. It would be using something like a flat black which maxes out around 900 lumens IIRC.

Which is why we went with the xhp35. Less throw on paper but still more then you can really see with the naked eye and a lot more light and larger hot spot.

Well i keep well hidden my last xp-g2 s4 2b

Well first of all, there are short arc production flashlights like the maxabeam which have much farther throw, so he should have specified LED.
Second, yes it is the farthest throwing production LED light, which is advertised on the STO website, so he should have specified “production”

[The_Miller]

And some might say he should not make jokes, yet he does and a lot are happy with that. It is a youtube review on a flashlight, not a lawyer writing a document

[BrianK]

His jokes add some interest to what could very easily be a very dry review.
