This classic is really too nice to sit in a draw, so it needs to find a new home. Shelf queen.
It's all original Surefire with the exception of the XHP50 LED upgrade to help it remain relevant for today. My guesstimate is that it's now putting out around ~400 lumens! (the original Lux V specification is 100 lumens / 4 hours (high 1.5 hour + useful 2.5 hours); should achieve the same run-times with new emitter, while possible running cooler. Good combination of throwy large hotspot with spill. Overall light is in 9+/10 condition.
Package includes -
(Sold)*** $190 shipped to within US only, PayPal preferred. ***
Photos are of actual items in their current condition -
L6 adorned with the included RPM "V2" Tail Switch; soft press; tail stands. Looks like the bomb :thumbsup:.
Original Lux V spec'd at 100 lumens (on left) vs Upgraded XHP50, my estimated 400 lumens! (on right).
The image below is a composite of Before and After emitter upgrade taken at the same exposure and white balance so that you can see the relative bump up in brightness. Both exposures were minus several stops otherwise the beamshot with the XHP50 would be overblown! In real life the OEM LuxV (on left) is of course brighter and doesn't have any tint, while the XHP50 upgrade is even brighter and interestingly fairly accurate in tint.
[EDIT: The 400 lumens is based on - (1) The updated L6 output is somewhere between the two ranges of my ZL SC600w MkIII which is spec'd as 312 & 580 lumens. (2) My HF multi-meter measures the current draw at the tail cap as 620mA which according to the XHP50 chart translates to 400+ lumens at the emitter. (3) Perceived brightness is logarithmic and the new XHP50 on the right is clearly more than brightness of the original 100 lumen LuxV on the left.]
Cree XHP50 partially diffused dome to reduce any multi-die artifacts in from the emitter (not visible in the photo above or in real field use but possibly visible when white wall hunting indoors.)
(My thread on "flossing" to reduce multi-die artifacts, here.)
I don't have the original box but will ship on an old L5 box and include a pair of new 17500 cells.
Usual CPF sale rules apply, first paid "I'll take it" gets it.
Thanks for looking.
