Noctigon Meteor M43

[easilyled]

This should be better.

Thank you.

 

[Roger Sully]

Very nice. I hope these become available soon!

And the main question is where to find 200 $ :shakehead

Something has got to be wrong with the specs...

CW S4 2B = 4000lm Throw 20kcd NW 219BT 92CRI = 6300lm Throw 70kcd Among other specs, but you guys can read... What's up with that? Thanks, -Chuck

 

[kj2]

Looks like specs are correct at this moment.

 

[chuckhov]

You're right!

Must have caught the webmaster changing them in the act.

Looks understandable now.

Thanks,
-Chuck

 

[chuckhov]

Choices, choices...

Hard to pick, but I 'think' I am leaning towards S4 2B, or [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]S3 3C.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Gotta love the tint of the 219, but sacrificing a lot of lumens there.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Of course this light has lumens to spare with any emitter, but I do want it to be BRIGHT, or I'll just carry something smaller.

Your thoughts?

Thanks,

Already have a TN36vn... hard to justify to get a M43.. Or not :naughty:

 

[chuckhov]

Well, I have an advantage over you - I don't have a TN36 - If you can call a deficiency like that an advantage:-(

The XP-G2 1D option is only available in De-dome? - I generally like a 1D dome-on for CW as it is on or below the BBL, so 'hopefully' not as much Green as something like a 1B.

Come-on kj2, you know that you need both!

Thanks,
-Chuck

Am looking at the NW S2 1D D-D or the NW XP-L D-D. Like the color temp of the S4 2B, but specs are so close to my TN36vn.
As you said, choices,choices,choices

From the manual: ... batteries are inserted properly and they are not absolute flat tops. It is desired to use the cell with the highest voltage on a 7.5A load.

I use Eagletac batteries that have a max of 5-6A. Do have Samsung IMR- batteries, but those are flat-tops. So, if I would buy this light, I also have to buy extra batteries.
Sounds I'll let this one pass.

Awesome! When I looked last night they were "sold out".

 

[chuckhov]

In that case, "Sold Out" was just their way of saying that they didn't have any to sell - Yet.

I just ordered the S3 3C in the Stone White. This is going to be a long 2 weeks.

 

[chuckhov]

Hey! - That's No Fair, Roger... That's the one I wanted!

Just kidding... Make mine Dark Grey, but no... I haven't ordered yet.

I'm waiting for Richard at Mountain Electronics to start carrying them.

Thanks,

Bummer!

Not knowing what I am doing, I devised a plan to buy ALL of my Unprotected in Button Top, as I think that they will work in 'most' cases.

Of course Protected Button Tops can be too damn long for many lights (been there and done that), but at less than 67mm, I don't see the Unprotected buttons as having a problem with length. - Yet.

Of course - Not knowing what I am doing, there may come the day...:-(

Cheer up kj2; Look at the money you are saving, and you gotta know that 6 months from now there will be a New, 'Greatest Thing', just waiting for You!

EDIT: But of course, the Real Reason why I buy the Button Tops, is because they are easier for an old man to tell which end is which

Will shoot a message to check what the max length is for the batteries.
And for the coming 4-5 months, I won't be needing a flashlight that much
But still keeping an eye on this light.

Went with the 1d ddome...70k lux with "only" 6000 lumens...hopefully not too shabby.

Cannot wait to compare it to my mm15vn in raw output

 

[chuckhov]

Understood - The farther North you are in the Summer of the Northern Hemisphere, the longer the days are going to be.

Here in Florida @28°N, there is sufficient darkness to keep me Broke year round - Really not much 'need' for anything right now, what with the Daylight Savings Time and the lengthening days, but you know how it is. - The Dark is Still Out There, and New lights are coming out left and right

Thanks,
-Chuck

Confirmation from Hank: max battery length 69.9mm but my Eagletac's won't fully power it.
