Updated OP with additional research… now specifically seeking slightly larger MK38vn alternatives without a fan, preferrably cheaper.
Any ideas? Basically searching for the Haikelite HK90 performance but smaller with more LEDs. Anything inbetween?
So I'm planning my next big light purchase, and I am trying to decide on my next powerhouse.
I currently own:
MT07vn W2 5400K 7700L, 115Kcd, 678m
MK37vn TIR 1xSBT90 5150L, 252Kcd, 1004m
Original MT18vn 219c Nichia 4000K (Ol' faithful house/photography light that gets regular use) ~14000...
Want to hear more about this SFT70 version! Modded or stock. Either way it sounds super tempting! 28k lumens 380k CD? Phenomenal combination with this setup. I’d surely take nearly double the lumens of SFT40 for only 120k cd loss.
Prior to mention of this SFT70, I was all about the SFT40, head...
Hi
yeah this light is not the one…. Poor body heat dispersion. Don’t want a burning hot head with cool mid/tail lol. Thanks for the temp readings @geisto!
I’ve always heavily shied away from 18350 cells aside from the GoliathVN which I only let my guard down because of the throw to size ratio and it was W1 so less concern about battery drainage since it was putting out low lumens.
So as far as short bodies go, it would have to be something at...
This light in W2 still remains the most useful light I've ever owned. Aux lights are so great at night on the bedside table to easily locate it in darkness... I bought 4 of these, one for me and 3 for family members and they all use them as their main house light. 26650 has great capacity and it...
Still waiting for a solid reply solution so I can begin using it in my discussions.
Have very little storage space and that's no fun... I like seeing them and comparing them and having them out together, that's half the fun when they're not in use!
K65GTvn SBT90.2 5700K DL #2s: 5150L, 830Kcd, 1822m
Stock SFT40 6500K @2s 16,500L, 500Kcd, 1414m
Yeah, I can imagine the K65GTvn would have a much narrower pattern, however the throw numbers don't seem thaaaat far apart. Once you start talking 500k... 800k... its just a level up isn't it? The...
Kerneldrop, how well does this XXI SBT90 transfer heat to the body of the light within the first 20 or 30 seconds of turbo? Is it well distributed or just a hot head with a drop-off point?
To be more specific, I carry a flashlight every day no matter what. 95% of the time I am wearing formal suit pants with very little pocket space. I definitely won't buy a designated hand warmer, but if I can choose to carry a specific flashlight on a cold day, then its a good dual purpose item...
