…how? What light is this? I’m trying to wrap my head around this, but having trouble. Reflector? Damaged aspheric? It’s not adding up

Oh my … that’s nasty

I smell a challenge.

“It’s because I’m green, isn’t it?”

EDIT:
I don’t know if the Grinch ever said that in his movie.
It’s just a funny pic/caption that’s relevant to this giveaway, though please count me out for this one. :+1:

here it is better focused, the beam got worse :skull:

The focal length is 7cm, hence all the chromatic aberrations

Now I wish I still had the stock first batch TS11 emitter. It seriously was nearly as green as the CSLNM1.F1 in my K1. Once I swapped an SFT40 into it, I either threw the emitter away or lost it. I’m thinking about which light is my ugliest green, not sure right now. I’ll have to check later today.

That is so bad that it’s almost cool.

14

What’s cool is the entire hotspot is super uniform in brightness, I thought my meter was broken before🤭

Well, the Blue FW1A Pro I got on 11/11 finally arrived, and it’s a strong contender.

My worst beam is either a sp36 pro that I swapped to FFL 5009R @5000k

But I kinda like the clover pattern - the donut has got to go (*I plan on going through the mess of disassembling this light again to reflow the emitters a second time with some LHP531, 2 @1800k and 2 @3000k. I’m a warm light kinda fella)

Photos don’t do the ugly justice, imo

I’m in. Thanks for the giveaway! The greenest LED I own is a W1 green, but that one probably doesn’t count. Runner up, my piles of LH351 or SST40 that have been swapped out. I have minus green on many of my TS10 and it works great.


Here’s a pic. SFT 40 5000K vs 6500K. I forget which lights were involved and I can’t find my notes. The 6500K might be a Wurkkos TS11.
