    Prometheus Alpha

    I bought my Ready made 1,5 years ago. Purchased a short body some month ago. I do not regret it. Is it my favorite light, I even prefer it over the Alpha carbon with Tripple Nichia and another alpha custom with XML. I also have a delta. Still the ready made with MCE has the best balanced output...

    Need info about this Russian pocket light

    My dad had such light from the East German army (NVA). Was funny for us to change the color. Today I miss those easy pragmatic ways to e.gm use an modern LED as night lamp. Those batterie were also very common in East Germany. It was the essential part of every boy*s electric toolbox. Some...

    Prometheus Alpha

    650 surely is a high price, but read the description why Jason chose the material he does. From the product description.. ”Ah yes, thermal conductivity. We are producing a lot of lumens and that makes a lot of heat. Deep grooving on the head helps get heat out of the light and into the...

    new light on the horizon?

    The switch side (tail/stand) is interchangeable with the alpha. However, the head is screwed into the body and not onto the body. Changing battery is easiest via the head (as for the alphas). I think that is also intended to be like this. Added some pictures...

    Preon P1 MKIII

    I purchased 7 of them. 4 already went away as presents to friends and family. They all appreciate that. The other three are distributed to places where you might need them. one is always in the car. You know, the best light is the one you have at hand when you need it. And guess what. Last week...

    Quark AA2 died - DIY fix possible?

    Before you give up and consider a new driver. Try the baking the driver in the oven 100 degree Celsius fro 20 minutes. I did that with one driver, when it wouldn’t cycle through the modes anymore. So i got moonlight and nothing else. I checked everything without success. Short before purchasing...

    new light on the horizon?

    I can’t say how many lumens it is. Compared to a beta at 100%, it creates a similar bright but much bigger spot. So yeah 100-150 lumens? That would also be reasonable considering that 100% burst gives me 900+ lumens according to the certificate. So 12% should end up with something above 100. But...

    new light on the horizon?

    I just did a quick run test. Used the 1200mAh 18350 from KeepPower. On med (12%) the light kept on for 2h and 30 minutes before it started blinked and indicating low (or depleted) battery. I switched the mode up and down to see if it acts normally. I charged it yesterday and used the light a...

    new light on the horizon?

    I used Burst mode 100% for the pictures. As mentioned, the heat management is really good. The Delta goes on BURST mode 1-2 minutes before being forced to lower output. (Of course depending on the external conditions and how you or if you hold the light). The Alpha has a more material and my...

    new light on the horizon?

    It is getting dark in Sweden. I went out and took the two lights with me Delta and the Alpha Ready Short body with MCE. This is the MCE. Small and bright center spot surrounded by an evenly bright spill that is clearly defined and ends. I love this light...

    new light on the horizon?

    There is a reason why the MCE 4500k is the Maker's choice. Some claim it is an outdated LED but it is my favorite beam and output is only insignificantly lower than the XML. Outdoor beam shots... I will see what I can do

    new light on the horizon?

    Not sure what you mean with clear optics. It has the triple Nichia 219c. I had Jason remove the green glow (I have that feature on the Alpha Carbon - is nice but didn't help me yet so no need for that. I tried some beam short, but please do not over evaluate them. the wall was not white and...

    new light on the horizon?

    I was lucky and grabbed the raw machined TI version right after the show when Jason put them up to the site (it is the 4k 219 Nichia version). Got it shipped a few days ago. I must say this is an amazing light. It is the Alpha in a smaller shell, even shorter than the Alpha with short body. The...
