    185Mcd 240W UHP Build

    @Alexander47 inspired a few other guys in Germany to build a bigger light with the same basic design, see here. It does 450Mcd. In my eyes this is the most elegant, simple design for making an Ultra-Thrower that we have seen yet because it uses UHP bulbs, a relatively cheap, lightweight fresnel...

    Where did all the oldtimers go.

    Most tinkering/modding is done by folks who do it for themselves. This used to also be very common here. I don't see much of this any more. The modders have moved to other forums, reddit and Facebook. It has also become less prevelant in the German forum, but not quite as much as here. It's...

    Nitelab Launches ther new emitter: UHi LED (Ultra High Intensity)

    The stated performance is very similar to the Osram and Luminous LEDs that have been on the market for years. There are many flashlights available on the market using these LEDs and they are also used frequently in modded flashlights. These round LEDs look very similar to the round Chinese LEDs...

    Microfire Light Storm S90

    They're probably talking about the world record of production lights, which the Maxabeam holds with 12MCd. The world record of non-production portable lights is held by this light.

    Acebeam W50 LEP flashlight first view - New pics added!

    Re: Acebeam W50 LEP flashlight first view Thanks for the video! I did some calculations based on Acebeam's specs: Lumens in spot mode: 2550 Lumens in flood mode: 2421 If these are in any way close to reality this light is far brighter than all other LEP lights currently available (except maybe...

    Sky Lumen Laser Throw Compact - Smallest LEP

    Seems very nice at first glance! Can you maybe show the front without the head on? How is the heatsinking done? Is this one of the newer designs with the laser diode behind the phosphor (no mirror)? It looks like it in your video.

    Which LEP has the widest beam width - Acebeam, Weltool, Jetbeam or Nextorch?

    The size of the hotspot depends mostly on the size of the light source (which we don't know for these LEP lights, but they are probably all very similar in this regard) and the focal length of the lens. The focal length is basically the distance between the lens and the light source. So your...

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

    BTT: vin, have you tried putting an Osram W1 or W2 into the light? I would try the W2, the reflector is probably to imprecise for the W1.
