BTW have ordered a new 120P that should ship out today, will do some testing with USV0H bin LEDs, to see if I will get the same results with that bin :).

If you have a moded one lying around you can do some side by side beamshots . I know theres some hesitation and a side by side comparison will clear some of it up.

Jep will work on providing some beam shots, though wall shots often tends to focus on the hotspot, but the Novatac series has kind of a "week" hotspot, so it is more the overall output that is improved, the hotspot and spill, will se if I can take both some wall shots and some outdoor shots, where the ones outdoor is really where you can see the difference :D.

I think that's the final push I'd like to see. whc, who are you using for shipping?, I'm having a hard time finding any shippers that will get the light to you for less than US 45.00

I use postdanmark.dk. You can just ship it like a letter "First-Class Mail® International" is about $8, and usually receive letters faster two (from 3-6 days normally)...

I am interested but I'd really like to know 100% that an 85T would have the same final output as a 120T, after the modifications. If the 85T on high puts less amperage to the emitter than I doubt that it will be as bright as a 120 would be after the modification. I guess the first question is: do both lights put the same power to the emitter on high?

I'm not sure, but I doubt it. Where do you find SSC P4's that will put out only 85 lumens at the same current as another SSC P4 that will put out 120lm?

and by pics I mean beamshots of a modded 85 and modded 120.

Once beamshots have been posted, there will be a difinitive answer to whether or not the modded 85 performs just as well as the modded 120. Then the question is whether or not there will be a difference in runtime :ohgeez:

It will be modding season on 85T and 85P Novatacs if this is confirmed.:naughty:

Lets hope season starts soon, we all know the increase for the 120T/P over the 85 is insane. I hate complicated UIs, but I really want to see if I can program one of these to my liking once, and never have to visit the programming again.

Ps... I'm a programmer.

Am just waiting for the new 120P to arrive so I can take some beamshots of a stock vs. my modded one, does not look like it will be today as I hoped, but maybe tomorrow :).

Here are some beam shots, took a bunch but only a few came out good, since I did not use a tripod, and it is hard to hold the camera completely still when doing night shots, but here is the best ones.

Here are the Novatacs that I am using for these beamshots, left: the stock Novatac 120P, right: modded Novatac 120P

I purchased one of whc's modded 120Ps and have to say his work is A+. :thumbsup:
The body & head were perfect and the polished bezel he does makes the light look unique.

I didnt own a NovaTac before receiving his modded one so I didnt have anything to compare the two (modded vs unmodded), however I am very impressed with the beam. Its a huge amount of flood on high.
