I would sure like to know what the beam does on the output of the lens before it hits the mirror, whether it is collimated to infinity focus, or is focused down to a point :)
Can you tell me what the approximate diameter is of the phosphor itself?
The small lens is just a Pre-Collimator to generate the Lumen
and make a bigger spot.
You can use it, or not.
At my Lep Modul,
there is no lens.

You use 2 lens if you can’t get a lens with the exact focal length. It doesn’t matter where the secondary is so long as it catches all the light and directs it to the primary.
This is how it works both are in focus and collect all the light.
Short focal length makes the beam wider
Long focal length narrows the beam
By the way nice pictures

Do you have access to a 3d printer? Should be pretty easy to design a printable bracket.
Thanks Xandre
it was the best way for me to understand what was going on.

I was planning on casting and machining it from aluminium that is what I know. It may need a separate battery to switch it. I have been looking at scopes and cctv cameras with 300mm lens. To hold it steady it will have a shoulder rest or mounted on a surveyors tripod.
Tomorrow I will have the other 9, one spare
Hahaha in a moment of madness
I don’t have the space for machining equipment yet, some day I hope to.
In the meantime the 3d printer has been like a little desktop machine shop for anything I need that can be made out of plastic.
This week I am ordering steel for a new 9m x 14m shed. Hopefully it will be big enough. I eventually want a 3D printer and CNC laser/plasma cutter. I dream of using a TIG welder in the 24inch mirror
16 x W30
That's really crazy stuff @Grin
I am very curious what intensity you can measure with all of them alligned.
btw.
Here's a comparison video of 10 of big-head LEP flashlights (Single cell only)
There's one more LEP incoming (dual cell) in the mail that sounds very promising... so I'll wait a bit for that one to arrive before doing my next video.
anyone see that countycomm / maratac is releasing a lep shortly?
No, I haven't seen that before..
Who's behind Maratac?
From the look of that light and some of Maratac’s other lights, I’d say Lumintop. It looks like a Thor 3 with a different head and body machining.
i think its lumintop as well but cant confirm 100%
the designs are so similar…
What is the mightiest LEP these days? Still rocking my Acebeam W30
Maxtoch Owl Eyes W Pro.
Quad W30 soon to be a 4x4. The one thing I don’t like with LEP is modes. On or off for me.
Oh nice... Xandre...
but the price is also pretty steep :D € 237,50 for the cheapest.
The Maratac definitely looks a bit like Lumintop, so I wouldn't be surprised there. But in the past it seemed to be related to ITP, I believe.. And if I'm correct, ITP turned into Olight?

Interesting. Kyocera are even offering a flashlight (listed at the bottom of the page). Although it’s only 250Kcd
