Pairs of photo have differences in White Balance for compare only light distribution and wide of spot. Left column - Nichia wich WB=5000K, Right column - Samsung with WB=4150K

Same photo as before, but all in one White Balance = 5000K, for real color of light comparation:
I understand but still the LH351D can be driven much harder than either of those LEDs and considering they are under a TIR and not a reflector I suspect the Samsung would equal the Nichia lux at some point even with it being more wide of a beam.
Those are very professional comparison shots. Very helpful! I always thought the LH351D driven the same would be brighter than the 219C. Do you have a way to test the lumens?
Looks like a pretty decent light! I’m kind of avoiding 3x18650s now through, prefer the 4*18650 as I have a few sets i can re-use on several lights.
@Maukka: Have a question about your effifacy - you mentioned Acebeam and Olights are pretty good, do you have a website or some spreadsheet where I can see a summary of all your efficacy values? Interested in knowing between Acebeam, Olight and Zebralight, which are the best ones.
Has anyone tried to order this flashlight recently? The webshop of YLP is available in Russian language and currency only and I don't see any contact e-mail address on their webpage. I know they offered their flashlights on their website in US dollars and English language some weeks ago.
If anyone has a direct contact address I can write to, I'd be more than happy.
I’ve been secretly hoping for more 3x18650 lights. I love my MF01 and my pair of Q8 but they’re hefty.
3x18650 won’t be small compared to most edc lights but if you’re looking for a long runtime and sustained power they look great. With the variety of emitters that you could use, there’s bound to be a design that would fit most applications if the designers get creative. More mass than a single 18650 light would help with heat and the battery capacity is just a bit shy of twice what a 26650 can provide. A great combination in my book.
After reading this thread, I couldn’t resist so I contacted them directly about sale to the US. Same day they sent an invoice, it arrived on my door yesterday. Whole transaction took 9 days. Really like this light and the holster is unique and functional.
