Dang it....another must have light to buy.

How the heck is this getting close to 250K lux being so small? More importantly via just a SMO Reflector.

Well the sl1 gets about 250kcd so this one must be over 300 kcd

Re: Best Single 18650 Thrower!

Vinh,
I'm really, really starting to like the single 26650 form factor. Hardly bigger than a single 18650 light but with larger capacity/longer battery life. Any chance of doing more of these? Maybe the best single 26650 Thrower?

I just found a way to tune the beam to throw noticeably more than the beam shots! Clearly takes out the TK75vn KT now and is very close to K40vn :)

Awesome Vinh!!
I can't believe you can get it to throw further than the TK75vn kt!
Can't wait for the new beam shots.
And to get my hands on one :)

Re: Best Single 18650 Thrower!

Inexpensive but quite nice = Supfire L5. Almost certainly doesn't have a large enough reflector to be real throw king. But might get pretty reasonable throw with U3 dedomed or small die emitter. Also what about the X3; anyway that could be fitted with a single reflector and high output U3 or smaller die emitter? The X3 could fit a nice sized smooth reflector. Just mentioned these 2 as they are lights I have and I love the size and extended battery capacity.

I've been lurking in the weeds, drooling all over myself deciding which vn would be my first. I almost went with the K40vn but something told me to wait. This could be it. I'm all about throw!

This is basically the X10vn. I can build you one if you want. http://www.illumn.com/foursevens-maelstrom-mmu-x-gen-2.html

I can also do the Supfire L5 if you send me one. :)

Re: Best Single 18650 Thrower!

How long can it sustain max before heat is an issue or is there a step down? :)

I am guessing ~900 lumens w/35 to 40 minute run time?
