A larger arc will lead to a larger hotspot.
Focus can be slightly adjusted IF bulb is too far INTO the reflector using shims to pull it slightly out. It's a trial and error process but often worth the effort.
the tint on mine is close to 4300k... Its a nice warm white tint. Actually not back for a stock hidHey guys, just joined up here. I've always gone here first on the forums for anything light oriented though! I actually had been wondering if anyone else's besides myself had modded one of these yet. I decided to open mine up lastnight and re-center the bulb and to see what all was inside the guts of it. While in there I had a 55w ballast, an 11.1v 3S RC Lipo battery, and a 4300K bulb I threw in it and WOW what a difference it made. Its unbelievably bright and has much better throw to it. Can post pictures if anybody is interested.
If you find a good mod for the 3500 lumen version let me know. If i can bump this up to 75w or so that would be coolI made an error when putting up my last post, I thought this was the Jobsmart 2800 Lumen, "Pistol Grip" HID light. It originally came with a 35W ballast as I am sure most of you are aware of. I do have to say the bulb I have in it that particular light with the 55W ballast, sure did clean up great as far as the tint of blue to it vs running 35w ballast to it. Overall I am very pleased. And last but not least, I can now become part of this big boy 3500 lumen light discussion as well now... I went to my local TSC lastnight and to my awesome surprise... $43 brand new in the box and they have tons of them!! Going back next week to buy a second one to keep "factory" and going to mod this one and play around with a few different setups. Kinda pissed me off I spent $43 for this light and it puts my Streamlight Protac HL3 to shame [emoji23][emoji23]. Oh well I still love my Streamlights. Die hard fan of them and own multiple variations of their lights and never been let down yet!
how do you know its 55 watt instead of 35 watt ?
should 55 watt not be well over 3000 lumens ?
i know a stanley 35 watt hid i used to have was 3000 lumens and 35 watt
i just got in from tsc, and they have 6 of these on the shelve, at 42 bucks a piece !:huh:
almost bought one from reading this post last night
think ill pick one up tomm just for kicks, to see how it stacks up to my tk61nv
sure cant beat it for 40 bucks:thumbsup:
Mod those bitches up! Cram a 75 watt HID and rock them!So, I picked one of these up today for $31.99 at my local Tractor Supply. There were 4 or 5 left, if anyone is interested... Let me know. I searched here first, rather than start a new thread. Good to see there are some possible upgrades to be done. I charged it up, and am getting ready to take it out to stretch it's legs.
