    Dobermann. Tactical lights

    You are right, only the foot print is smaller in the XP-L... With respect to the Predator, it uses a XP-G so that does have a smaller die... Well we can discuss forever based on estimations and assumptions. The fact is that the Dobermann is already available and somebody needs to test it.

    Dobermann. Tactical lights

    I also like the Armytek's quality. What is weird is that Armytek website used to say 250 m beam range and now it says 340 m. That is a significant difference. I wonder whether they initially intended to use the XM-L LED and they recently switched to XP-L

    Dobermann. Tactical lights

    I forgot a question: it seems some dealers are using the old description of the light, which says 250 m range. In the Armytek website now it says 340 m range. What is the real number?

    Dobermann. Tactical lights

    I agree. However, the XP-L led is the size of a XP-G but it delivers 1200 lumens. That's the way to get such throw. I am anxious to see a review of this light. Can somebody place a picture of the reflector showing the LED? The light is available through some dealers already. Please send your...

    Re: Dobermann/Dobermann Green/Red. Flashlights for hunting 670 Lumens? is that XP-G? Please post pictures os the ACTUAL light, no computer renders. Thanks!

    ReviewTheLight: Skilhunt H02 (820 Lumen Headlamp)

    Hello, I got the new version of this light, which has a different way to fix the lens (4 screws). The light is really nice but it make a whining noise in Med and Hi modes. I didn't notice PWM when shooting a moving object but the noise bothers me a little since it is a head lamp and I can hear...

    *new* Fenix LD60: max 2800 lumens

    I contacted Fenix and they agree the PWM will be visible in a video but not by naked eye. I agree. I think the main issue is to pay $150 for a light and get the type of regulation you get with a ~$40 SkyRay King. Now, you may argue that the Fenix has independent power sources so you can use...

    *new* Fenix LD60: max 2800 lumens

    Correct me if I am wrong but the LD50 has independent circuits (you can use one battery and one LED) and it does't use PWM for regulation. How can't they do the same for the LD60? What bothers me is that, with the tripod mount, this light was ideal for lighting videos... but the PWM ruins all...

    *new* Fenix LD60: max 2800 lumens

    Yesterday I tried it in an open area and I really like it. It out-throws my G25C2 and Xeno G42 (dedicated thrower) easily. Since the hot spot/spill is way brighter, you don't get the sense it is a thrower. Large threes get completely illuminated, not just a section of them. What I like the most...

    *new* Fenix LD60: max 2800 lumens

    It is something in between. Maybe a little more on the thrower side. The hotspot is about 5ft diameter at 30 ft distance. The specs say 53,000 cd, which is more than twice as much as the Eagletac G25C2 (I have it). Based on what I see, it should be right.

    *new* Fenix LD60: max 2800 lumens

    Correction: after checking the conection in the tail, I can't see the flickering by naked eye. However, I can see the PWM effect when I move my hand in front of the light and when I use a camera whose subject is illuminated by this light.

    *new* Fenix LD60: max 2800 lumens

    I just received my LD60 and everything look good except is has visible PWM in eco mode. I can see the flickering. In the other modes, except turbo, I can also see PWM if I move my hand quickly in front of the light. I am quite surprised Fenix uses PWM in this light. Did you notice the same or I...

    Eagtac SX25L3 (3x18650, 2750lm)

    Re: **NEW** Eagtac SX25L3 (3x18650, 2750lm) I think it is. The new G25C2 MkII has ~22k lux and I find it to be quite good for a single 18650 light (I own one). If the SX25L3 can indeed put 25k lux AND a wall of light, it will be quite impresive. Add the fact that is has a compact body and you...

    New Eagletac G25C2 MK2- 1030 lumens from 1x 18650

    Thanks for the info. Have you compared the current draw at the tail? I have a G25C2 MKI and I like it quite a lot. I also have a Xeno G42 XM-L U2 which out-throw my G26C2. From your comment, the new G25C2 MKII will not have signigicantly more throw than the G42 (if any). For the records, my...

    New Eagletac G25C2 MK2- 1030 lumens from 1x 18650

    -side by side shows the mkii as brighter (especially flood) So having a SMO reflector is brighter in the flood area? Does it have a donut in the hot spot due to the SMO reflector? How does that compare to the MKI?
