    The Lounge 2022

    Hi Vinh, I just received my Maxtoch OwlEyes W Pro , and am REALLY impressed with it. I measure almost exactly 3 million Candela at 32 feet, well before the two beams have fully converged. Did you make any modifications to the flashlight at all? Just curious.

    Hi Viet, Just ordered, with discount code, adding warranty, engraving and specs. 5 million candela beats my four 3 million candela lights by a large margin. star_c_star

    WTS - FDT (Flashlight Deals Today)

    Hi Viet, I couldn't resist the "Raw" version of this flashlight, so I just bought it. That will bring my total of MT90vns to 3. The other two are the regular black version.

    Delving into LEP

    I am very glad to see that you are back! There are several LEPs in my flashlight collection. The one with the greatest throw is a Vinh-modified Acebeam W30vn, having around 2.8 Mcd. Now that you are working to develop new LEP flashlights, I won't try to buy a 4 Mcd Acebeam W50. I'm sure...

    Acebeam W40 and W50

    The Acebeam W50 is listed at around 4 million candela. Initially, it was supposed to be 6 million candela. I have a couple Vinh-modified flashlights, both Mateminco MT90vn+'s, that are slightly more than 3 million candela. That is close enough to 4 million that I won't be tempted to spend...

    Mateminco MT90vn+ = Farthest Reflector Thrower ...COMING SOON...

    Vinh, The fan in the Mateminco fan handle blows harder (with much more air and sound) than the fan in the Astrolux.

    Mateminco MT90vn+ = Farthest Reflector Thrower ...COMING SOON...

    Vinh, Are there instructions on how to set the fan speed? I now have two Mateminco MT90vn+'s. The fan speed is low on the first one, and high on the second one. So I suspect there is a way to change the fan speed.

    Mateminco MT90vn+ = Farthest Reflector Thrower ...COMING SOON...

    I just ordered a second Mateminco MT90vn+, since it is such an amazing light. When I have been walking around the neighborhood with it, a couple people said I looked like Rambo. Others thought it was a military device of some type. By the way, what is the SBT100 (SBT-100)? I am assuming it...

    Good luck, Vinh, and wishing you a speedy recovery!

    Hi Vinh, Does that mean we have to wait a while before receiving more MT90vn+'s?

    I just ordered over a dozen of these connection loops. They will replace the ones that came with the Mateminco MT90vn+ and those that came with some of my other flashlights.

    I purchased a large "hood hat" for my Mateminco MT90vn+. The XXXL hood hat is designed to protect optics, such as telephoto lenses, with a base around 6.5 inches wide. It is made of black neoprene, and is designed to slide over the base. It fits perfectly. For those of us with a Mateminco...

    The first time you placed the batteries in the holders, you said they rapidly warmed up. I'm wondering if they had been drained to below activation voltage for the flashlight, and that recharging the batteries fixed that problem.

    Yes, that is true. I also have Spec C, and all four springs are on the same end of each carrier. Luckily, I didn't look for positive or negative signs at the base of each battery holder. I looked for the spring being at the negative end, since I already knew that Vinh had modified the carriers.

    The light is definitely front heavy, to put it mildly. However, when I use the handle and hold it as close to the front of the light as possible, it seems to balance pretty well. But I still use the shoulder strap as well as the handle.
