    Arc6 blue tint

    As far as i've understood it, by varying the "mix" of PWM and current regulation. Lowering the output by reducing current causes the tint to shift (usually into yellow, but it's not a rule). Lowering the output by PWM doesn't. By "superimposing" PWM over current regulation you can tweak the...

    742 Torch Lumens! Most beautiful runtime curve. NEOFAB Legion II MC-E review added

    Re: 742 Torch Lumens! NEOFAB Legion II UPDATED. Why do people keep having difficulties grasping the fact that HIGHER DYNAMIC RANGE = LOWER EFFICIENCY? The higher the difference between the highest and lowest level is, the less efficient the driver will be. That's just the way things work...

    742 Torch Lumens! Most beautiful runtime curve. NEOFAB Legion II MC-E review added

    Re: NEOFAB Legion II, the powerful MC-E light &COMP with M1X, pic heavy! That's true, but there's a way around it - calibration. The reported driver temperature is compared with the temperature measured near the emitter and the appropriate "conversion rate" determined. Of course, the response...

    742 Torch Lumens! Most beautiful runtime curve. NEOFAB Legion II MC-E review added

    Re: NEOFAB Legion II, the powerful MC-E light &COMP with M1X, pic heavy! Thermal control would probably require changes in the driver (unless the MCU has a built-in sensor already). A time limit would just be a matter of software changes.

    Re: NEOFAB Legion II, the powerful MC-E light &COMP with M1X, pic heavy! How about a time-limited burst mode, then? Something similar to what the Ra Clicky does.

    Re: NEOFAB Legion II, the powerful MC-E light &COMP with M1X, pic heavy! Yes, it's a balancing act, but Legion II is all about throw, not balance :) On top of that, this isn't a P7. It's pretty much uncharted territory as far as reflectors are concerned.

    Re: NEOFAB Legion II, the powerful MC-E light &COMP with M1X, pic heavy! But that would make the doughnut appear even sharper!

    742 Torch Lumens! Most beautiful runtime curve. NEOFAB Legion II MC-E review added

    Re: NEOFAB Legion II, the powerful MC-E light &COMP with M1X, pic heavy! I've seen some that look like a bit like crackers up close. Similar to Lux K2's, only with actual patches of semiconductor (blue LED's) in place of "holes". Those darkish blobs on this one look like something similar. 48...

    Re: NEOFAB Legion II, the powerful MC-E light &COMP with M1X, pic heavy! Emitters such as that one are old news, really. Check the dimensions.

    742 Torch Lumens! Most beautiful runtime curve. NEOFAB Legion II MC-E review added

    Re: NEOFAB Legion II, the powerful MC-E light &COMP with M1X, pic heavy! No alterations in geometry will work, because whichever way you project the image of the emitter, it will still remain an image of FOUR (separated) dies. Hence, there will always be a doughnut. That's the way it is with...

    USPS again

    Just my humble opinion, but USPS should be left as an option for international customers. I've had only the worst experiences with my local FedEx service provider (in 10/10 cases over a period of 1 year or so) and only the best experiences with USPS international services (ranging from 1st...

    Arc6 beta test

    According to Peter, L7 is "semi-regulated" but was described as unregulated for simplicity's sake. It probably goes in and out of regulation depending on the state of the cell. Regarding cells, the Powerizer unprotected RCR123's seem to work very well with L6 and L7. I have yet to see any of...

    INOVA Inforce line (was: Inova SHOT/IWA 2008 prototype)

    I don't get it... The current Inforce runs on 2 CR123's (6V). So what's new about a 6V model?
