Man this light looks sick!
Would be an ideal backpack light for camping.
Ok I will start saving for the PDTN XML2 version
Awesome work as usual Vinh!
How long can you run it on Turbo before its too hot to hold?
Thanks
Ty
:laughing:
tbh its a tough call as the de-dome appeals too,the u3 de-dome would have the perfect choice for me but too many issues with the batch of u3 leds(greens). Otherwise i would have 100% gone that way.
I just love small lights and walls of light,just so useful ,so the u3 was next although the PDTn is a good choice too. I just prefer the cooler end of tints in general or 5500k on.........
Did you guys see the pic of how thin the reflector is?! ~100K lux is astonishing!
output and throw for this size class put it in a league of it's own
As measured by selfbuilt to ANSI FL1 standards the MM15vn Dedome does 37Kcd. I found Vinhs statement about this having alot more throw than the MM15vn Dedome a 'Wow' because of the modest current bump and tiny reflector.
Pdtc brah, don be scurred of the u3 dedome, it's the best you can get and it kicks butt. My xml2 dome on tx25c2vn was pretty blinding b4, but when I upgrade to u3dedome pdtc-holy crap it's way more blinding and intense. And the tint is whitish yellow, more on the white.
I do not understand this..I have asked you to give an estimate on a few lights and you won't touch it. Then, a light like this[and a few others] you are willing to give an estimate?:shrug:

Flat-top cells work good? Or button needed?
If he makes a guess, and is off, people will complain. If he doesn't, he gets posts and messages asking for his guess. No-win.
If he feels confident enough to hazard a guess, that is great. If not, that is the question lux meters and Justin's thread are designed to answer.
Maybe we should start asking Wayne for his lumen estimates-----------LOL
I understand what you are saying.
So the best solution is either you ALWAYS give an estimate or you NEVER give one! For lack of a better phrase, "Picking and choosing" is the frustrating part. There can be different reasons for NOT being comfortable.
I also firmly believe, regardless of what type of light, that he would have SOME kind of estimate with all of his experience, knowledge and the hundreds of lights he has modded, the hundreds of gifs and beam shots that he has done.
Vinh is going to do what he feels is best. That is the bottom line!
EDIT: Regarding Justins thread. He is very helpful, however a lot of people would want to know the numbers BEFORE they buy a light.
On the other hand If Vinh sent Justin ALL his lights then the customer could wait and see if the numbers were that important to him!
OK,,,,,,,,BACK TO THE TM06vn!
It was meant to be funny as Vinh acted like Wayne was another person the other day--HaHaHe gives those most times in LED lumens.

I rarely work by "ALWAYS" & "NEVER" when it comes to technology. As you said, I will do what I feel best. That is the bottom line.
My last comment on this!
The only reason I said "Always" or "Never" is because it would be consistent and people would know what to expect.
QUI RIPOSA IN PACE!
