Cool, thanks for correction
The purpose is to illuminate a wide area instead of a narrow corridor for which you´ll need binoculars to actually see what you are illuminating in 500m distance.
Throw is for baby flashoholics :devil: :laughing:

Triples are neat, no doubt. I think I saw that they filled a need, and that need is solved with brighter more efficient LED, but I could be wrong.
Let me check something.
Assume that there is a new LED, and it has infinite efficiency, and infinite brightness. Who wants a triple with my new infinitely bright LED?
Thats the main issue for me with small single cell lights....................high output eats battery. So that is one of the reasons i prefer big multi cell lights. 2000, 4000, even 6000lm is nothing on a light like the rc40. So if i need big output and any decent run time(1hr min but ideally several potential hours), nichi or hi cri LED's are not a requirement, but far throwing bright neutral light is. Granted its more long walks/fun than actual need, but for those types of uses.
A couple of halloweens back i EDC'd an m43vn, used on 20% which is near 2500lm and could manage the heat with decent run time. It was sure fun lighting up streets to the sides and straight down them.
I love the little ZL's,
but they dont compete for pocket space against my triples and quads. Not because one is better than the other, simply down to one is more suitable than the other for a given application. Unlike yourself, most my ZL use is bellow the 300lm output, more close up to moderate distance type uses. One thing i do like a lot with ZL's , the form factor for 18650. Similar in size to many typical 16340 lights, yet all the benefits of an 18650 fuel tank.
Last little break we had, i took a couple of the ZL with me, a HI 4500k and plus 5000k
One single emitter ? With infinite output ? And perfect efficiency ?
Then, sure, I'd want a triple of that ... since three is one, and one is none.
That is the one:thumbsup:12 LED's i presume last pic far right is the m43vn.
3rd along in this pic
Around 11,000lm
Well we'd certainly need an infinite number of batteries, just to start.Oh yeah, now we're talking my language! Let the philosophical debate begin on whether one infinity can be greater than another! I'd personally prefer an infinite number of infinitely bright and infinitely efficient LED--that would be infinitely brighter than only three infinitely bright LED...or would it!?
Hank has a sale on , think still on at international outdoors. Bargain and some at $98 !!!!!
One i have is one of vinhs with his driver and LED swap.
Info on the UII looked at it. It's such a good price, just $18.00 more than what I paid for my last 900 lumen light. But they do not give enough info. Info like how many power levels etc.
