Finally my A1 has arrived, I could not wait to put it in direct comparison with the GT94X with long tube, I took some measurements and hold on tight we are on the same number of lumens in terms of output, they look like twin brothers! I measured around 24000 lumens with both, the GT94X was equipped with Vapcell T42 batteries, while for the launch a slight advantage goes to the A1 about 2,300,000cd against 2,000,000 of the GT94X, this means more than 3 km of launch. I am looking for a space open enough to take some decent shots which I will share with you soon ...
It is true that I leave the thermal protection always deactivated ... the thing that struck me the most, however, is that the A1 without the possibility of deactivating anything for the first 5 minutes does not drop in intensity, it copies the behavior of GT94X heating up even less , I did not push beyond 5 minutes because I did not intend to do a runtime test but as soon as I can I will try to understand the behavior until the end of the batteries.
I’ve also had the Wuben A1 for a few weeks. I did a review in German with runtime tests in taschenlampen-forum.de. I love the searchlight. I’m curious about your comparison!
I would also put some pictures and runtime tests in here, just don’t know how yet, but it will come.
