Thor 2 is too big.
Thor I is 96*32mm , with 18650 it shoul be 126*32.But unfortunately it don’t has 18650 wersion.
Nice. But thor 1 has length 96mm with 18350 and tail switch. So compact LEP powered by 18650 and e-switch could be definitely less than 96+30mm.
I’ll wait a couple more years)
You don’t have to wait.
There is an 18650 extension tube for the Thor 1.
I’m waiting for a tubestyle 18350 LEP light at 85 mm length, I was unpatient so I bought the 4Tool L10, and I do not regret it, it is cool, but the real thing would be a true EDC size LEP light with 200 kcd throw.
The 2 MCd of wp3 is really sick though. What I need to know is what distance is safe, not to burn out someone’s eyes with it in an instant. It just seem to produce a beam as far as I can see. The flashlight is a bit bigger, but the trade-off is 1hr of quite sustained turbo, and a killer throw
Wow!thank you very much!
BTW I can’t find info about CCT of lumentop’s LEP. Is there such information anywhere?
I have the 4Tool L10 and not the Thor1, but the L10 LEP module looks very much like the Thor1 module, it may be the same one. So FWIW, here is the tint information from the hotspot of the 4Tool:
Many thanks!8200K wow. I could agree even with 6000K, but 8200K…
It does not look so bad actually, it is just very cool white. It shows the colours but there is nothing cosy about it. Maybe things far away do not need to be cosy. :innocent:
Haha wow… I have a 6 watt blue and a 1 watt green. The blue burns through dark metal and lights stuff on fire but the green beam looks amazing
Precisely. I think it’s often overlooked that what is to be illuminated is so far away, the tint really needs to provide a crisp illumination for spotting. Neutral/warm can fall short of doing that at such distances where a LEP or Ostar can reach.
I’ve often wondered why the highest/coolest color temp for flashlights seems to be 6500K. I can’t even picture what 8200 would look like!
Environmental conditions for thrower I need are 100 humidity, fog and water dust.
My current thrower 2700K and 350m Ansi can actually throw <50m.
I was hoping the LEP would work at least up to 100-150m.But 8200K surely not for such conditions.
There was one LEP thrower at 4000K 90CRI (Acebeam it was I think) , but it was yellow and was discontinued fast. It does show that those LEP phosfors do not neccessarily need to emit cool white. I hope that the lower CCT’s come back.
I’m hoping for a “recoil” style LEP to maximize lumens and also high CRI phosphor mixes in any CCT.
AEDe. I previously built a ‘rain/fog/mist/smoke’ thrower and it performs “okay”… not as good as I’d hoped. It’s an Eagletac G25C2 that I converted to use a LEDIL IRIS TIR and 4000K SST20. ANSI throw comes in at about 420m, but the spill is still too bright. Original intent was to use a 2700K, but it was installed in another light at the time and I was too impatient to get the ET working to check out the beam pattern. I’m sure the lower CCT would help a small amount in backscatter, but likely offset by lower initial intensity as well.
In practice as of now, the best ‘fog’ light I have is an Osram Black Flat in a B158B. So I imagine an LEP would do well despite the high cct
I tested out the olight odin turbo and maxtoch la60 at saranac lake last weekend.
I was convinced the warm, yellowish olight would be superior on the water except in the clearest conditions. I was completely wrong.
The la60 not only penetrated mist better, but if I unfocused it just enough to give them the same size hotspot it still seemed superior. Maybe fog, and not mist, would favor the olight. I will keep testing, since it is so easy to pocket the olight.
The LA60 is a dream come true for me (although single 26800 and side switch would be preferred). Sites at saranac are pre-reserved, but that’s not true at a couple other places I go. When we launch at dusk on a Friday and go out to find an empty site we can end up motoring around for hours trying to find a place to camp.
With the LA60, even at 1/4 mile from a site, you find out if it is occupied. Not necessarily because you see a boat beached (canoes/kayaks often get pulled up into the trees) but because it puts so much light back into the campsite, people come out to the shore to see what alien ship is about to beam them up.
I’ve found that exact thing with my FireFoxes FF5 HID light. It was available in 4300K and 6000K and someone recommend the 4300 to cut through fog, etc. I don’t have the 6000 to compare but it slides through clouds and fog like a knife
It’ll be really interesting to see a shoot-out comparison of various LEP tints and under various conditions (clear, misty, dense fog).
I’m anxious to see the new evolutionary leap in LEP technology. Scientists arrays have wide spectrum white lasers
Check this plasma flashlight out: Battery-powered plasma flashlight makes short work of bacteria
2 new LEP flashlights:
Lumintop Thor 3
40-400 lumens
Nextorch T20L
They say 900 lumens, but I doubt that :D
Have you guys heard of light emitting plasma?
LEP bulbs are capable of intense light output. One manufacturer, Luxim, claims their technology can produce 144 lumens per watt. In contrast, Tungsten Halogen bulbs produce 15 lumens per watt, LED emitters produce between 65 to 85 lumens per watt (in practical applications), and HMI bulbs produce 90 Lumens per watt.
