Thanks for sharing info.
When I bought my copper beta, I did not know anything about PWM.
I only found out because I was taking photos of it, and one day I got this pic (by iPhone 5):
I then discovered that the Lumintop Copper Tool also had PWM. I was not looking for PWM, just comparing beams, here is the photo that tipped me off:
I AM very suprised he told you the 2 mode betas use PWM, he told me they had NoPWM. But I've never tested one.
I Loved my Copper Beta. It was my first Nichia, and it started me on a fun journey learning about CRI, Copper, pocket clips, weight, CCT, and things LED. I have great respect for Jason, he will always be my first Nichia Guru.
fwiw, the Copper Lumintop Worm does NOT have PWM, it uses a newer driver, and a newer Nichia, than the Beta. But the Worm does not have the QR. I believe the Worm head will work on the Beta body, although I have not tried. Ive used both the Worm head, and the Beta head, on a Maratac body. Here is the Beta head on a Maratac:
(note the maratac head will not light on the Beta or Worm body, their threads are too short to reach the pill)
The QR feature of the Beta works really well. Here is what it inspired me to do, so I could QuickRelease a smaller, lighter light… Beta head on a Thrunite body.
The Beta clip costs extra, its very nice, but it wont reverse to fit a hat. Also, the Beta Clip replaces the QR, you cant have both installed at the same time.
