I’m trying to make exactly the same decision. At the moment I’m edging towards the Rocher. Slightly smaller, nicer looking (IMO), better UI (stepless dimming, no blinkies). Probably less throw though.
Ho hum, by the time I decide the deal will be over anyway.
I still would like to know what model of Rocher light that the Rocher AS31 is leaning on in the picture. It’s not the Rocher MC10 and I can’t find any info anywhere. :~
Congrats! And I thought being here in the boondocks was bad for mail delivery, .
The CT9T seems to be a well thought out light. The way they handled the led star contact area could have been done differently though? The platform is not smooth all the way across. leaving a very shallow circular shelf that that was machined (after anodizing?) and is filled with a thicker than necessary layer of heatsink compound. Haven’t poked my nose into that many lights, so could be the norm.
Since the head has some mass, I wonder if anyone has thought of a XHP50 mod. Maybe it’s possible to strip the driver and attach a BLF17DD with a zener mod? Then use two 18350 cells or an extension for the Warsun MX900 ?
I guess nobody has modded this or is not willing to share results! I was just trying to get other ideas/results, I guess I will send it where I always do!
Look through this thread, Ryansoh3 bridged two resistors I believe, tried to get the driver out of mine and couldn’t, not much of a modder myself. Post #52 is where the mod is listed with pictures.
- by default running with Samsung 25R at its max the tail reading is 2.2amps
- with a bypassed springs, twicked driver and Sony VTC5 battery it is able to draw only 3.3amps at the tail
- build quality is fairly okay
- side switch is kinda buggy, plus the driver too
my came with a very “durty” glass, was unable to cleat it so i cut a new one
The flashlight biggest problem is its reflector- its deep and bigger than C8 one, but the beam profile is awful, i tried several mods but the final result is disapointing
It could be made a fairly okay light( with a good ammount of efforts), but either Convoy and X6 destroys it by price, functionality, size, weight, beam profile
