Lumapower, Lumacraft Series Formula 1

lumapower:

I haven't been on CPF much lately - this product looks very interesting.
Is this officially in production? What is price?

Congratulations on the double wall / 3D body design...
think that technique will open up some VERY unique appearance / functional possibilities.

F1's Product Upgrade (7-Nov-2006)

Since we mention before, F1 use direct contact design without springs.
While there is too many size of AA battery on the market, some shorter and some longer which cause the battery tube not easy to fit all. So we need to mention "Do Not Over Twist after Power On, while over-twist can cause the battery pushing directly to PCB and may cause damage to the circuit.

After considering for better protection for F1's circuit, we upgrage F1's design as below:

1. Add copper ring stopper to fix PCB's position.
2. New +ve contact design, which allow flexible movement between contact and battery, by adding a gold-plated coil between PCB and +ve contact.
3. Enlarge rubber-stopper for better resistance force for battery, this can also help better feeling (refer to flashlightreviews.com's comments)

All F1's upgrade is completed now.

Hi,

The F1 is really a fantastic looking light. I like it a lot even if it doesn't suit my needs.
Who knows, if I turn into a real flashaholic maybe one day I'll buy one.

I'm writing this post because I have to tell you how really impressed I am by the way you improve your lights almost on a day to day basis. You address all the issues we throw at you quickly and efficiently. IMO this last improvement is just brilliant.

I'm sure your company has a "bright" future ahead.

Keep up the good work.

The Duracell 2650mAh Rechargeable Battery was used for the beam shots.

Tried beam shots with these batteries.

ernsanada,

thanks for these very nice pictures! Very impressive. And thanks for maintaining the F1 thread, I have been trying to do the same for the M3 and it can be time consuming so I do appreciate the time you have been putting in.

what camera do you use? for sure it can take some good pictures, although of course most of the credit belongs to the photographer!

flashy bazook,

Believe it or not I'm using a Sony DSC W1 5.1 Megapixel, point and shoot.

Hi ernsanada,


Thank you very much for great photos.
As if you test new F1 with E2, you can found the real power of SSC-P4.

Best rgds.

This is a better picture. Now the diameters look the same.

The Fenix looks brighter, am I correct? What do you think about the new F1?What is the runtime going to be like? What is the brightness and beam like compared to the cree?
