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 lumens, ~150Kcd, ~800m
Noctigon K1vn W1 ~850L, 750Kcd, 1650m
I've also handled a K75vn SBT90 before, (5000L/1.8Mcd) and I do not want anything this large/throwy/single LED.
As you can see, I am missing a true modern high-output light. I have relatively high output, and relatively high throw as individual lights, but nothing that does both well. I am interested in a light that can put out 15-30k lumens and throw more than 400Kcd/1300M. (Something between the MK38 SFT40 or the old TN40vn high output throwers)
I don't want to get into massive head lights... large soda can 90-95mm head diameter preferrably while using 3-4 21700s.
If the MK38vn SFT40 were just slightly larger (and thus slightly bigger reflectors for throw/heat sinking WITHOUT fandle) and a little cheaper, it would be a no brainer. The price and smaller size/fan has me at a standstill.
Any other options?
