Wow man! This more than awesome... And taking a risk for such build is something that only 100% mentally ready modder can do. You were among best in the beginning and you stayed like that...
Thanks for this... I am very interested in small leses that can give us 30% + intensity lux. Does this improvement refers to pure de-dome version? I mean will it improve throw of de domed emitter?
Even if throw remains same that is good idea... Could you please give more hints on lenses you use...
Hi Vinz,
After some while I managed to crack your patent. Thank you for idea and for sharing info . Emitter acts like dedomed(it is not loosing any brightness) with 50% larger area(xp-g2 is going to size of XML) and it even fixes some collor abberations.
And what I find out with hard earned...
I have XP-G2 de-domed P60 pill on torture test. I've been changing that through all different kinds of P60 flashlights. Weapon mounted, and borrowed to friends.
Sometime pill just stand in backpack at the basement. It has fallen down several times, and after all that(more than 2 months) it...
Solarforce are really nothing special but they are one of better drop ins on the market. I recommend them... And they should fit in Dereelights and Surefire G2 nitrolon like flashlights.
They can not compete to hand made pills with selected driver, emitter, thicker wires(22 and more AWG...
I don't know about Javelin but every P60 should fit to NightmasterV1 V2/DBS.
Very simple to swap it. Just unscrew reflector and spring from solarforce drop in, screw it in in dereelight aluminium pill holder and put it back in a flashlight.
If you really have spring problems you can cut it off...
Oh sorry I did not saw this earlier :( ...
Yes Xsearcher will kill Tiablo A9 in throw... :)
About XM-L2 de-domed it will throw 150 KCD driven at 2,8amp so it could probably throw around 200KCD in turbo 4 or more AMP version... Beautiful beam but I don't recommend.... Terrible efficiency on...
How come that I did not seen this? Well I am not to active member...
So with wavien collar and sst like de domed emitters this monster would throw around 3 milion candela?
I think you should buy that collar, 60$ is not much fur such improvement.
LED technology looks really impressive with...
Thanks Vinz,
I searched and looked for 70 to 80° small lenses and I could not find that anywhere DX/KD/FT/CNQG...
Really guys please help me on this I can not sleep because of that :grin2: Those lenses are great stuff... No matter for shipping cost I will order larger quantities...
I have...
Thanks,
Yes your XP-G2 really looks 50% bigger than mine with that pre-collimated lenses... This is good stuff...
Please PM where I can buy your condenser lenses. I got same flashlight so they will work. Please PM me the source. I am from Europe same as you.
What 18650 battery you...
Very interesting,
Where did you buy "condenser lenses"?
I have following results in NightmasterV2 dedomed(but same lenses as in old dbs)
240 KCD with Vinhnguyen 3A XP-E2
220 KCD with XP-G2 2,8 amp driver
150KCD with XM-L2
This "condenser lenses" looks good to me but by judging your...
Friend no way that Ultrafire T20 can throw 60 000 lux, and you can not have good readings measured on 1meter. U must measure from 5-20meters and convert with formula.
It is this flashlight:
You probably have UNIQUEFIRE UF T20 - this is cheap copy of very good brand flashlight WOLF EYES...
:) English is not my native language... You speak better than me...
Of course...
I just gave example that white led will work better if someone needs to identify white objects (like benchrest target maybe) at certain distances...
I am poor at taking photos... I would need one friend at...
I think I know what are you trying to say...
We did some eye perception test recently:
100 KCD stock nightmaster V2 vs Super tuned Tiablo A10 with XP-G2 de-domed emitter throwing about 140 KCD
Upon de-doming cool white XP-G2(or XP-E2) emitter you will get warm color...
So it is cool white...
8×7135(Nanjg 105C) is not very good driver for single 18650 cell... Well it is for short bursts but not for everyday use...
Efficiency drops even before 3,6 V...
It start dropping at 3,8 V...
You are probably wondering how I can determine that?
Well I measured cold starts at certain...
