I like SST-50's driven around 4 amps. Hardly anybody does it though.

Yeah great !...But for how long ?
First 30 seconds ?

1hr10mins

2hrs10mins to 50%

I actually prefer this runtime pattern to fully regulated - a good dose of regulation followed by direct drive for efficiency. I've been caught out to many time whilst biking from lights suddenly dying halfway down a run.

Very pleased with the XP-G P-Rocket (neutral version) - same great build quality, nice throw for an XP-G light and flawless beam (no doughnut) with the OP reflector. Noticeable brighter than my Fenix TK12 R5 - so impressed wit the p-rocket that I'm selling the TK12.

Might have to buy the SMO version for comparison.

Does it throw better than TK12?

 

[amigafan2003]

A tiny bit yes. My TK12 R5 has an SMO reflector so it's impressive that the OP P-Rocket out throws it. I'd like to see how the SMO P-Rocket compares. I think it's just the drive level though - my TK12 is only driven at 850ma.

All the more since first 80 minutes look great.

Damn this thread! I told myself I won't by myself another light until the new LEDs come out.

Checked out what Bryan's offering and the XP-G neutral with SMO reflector sure looks inviting. I already have the SST-50 neutral and I do like the build of this light.

I'll sleep on it...or maybe wait a couple more nights before the AUD hits near parity to the USD again before I end up going . :tinfoil:

Regulation and runtime look great.

I would love to see a beam shot comparison between the OP and SMO reflectors! Please!

I'm going to get the cool white but looking for beamshot difference betwee the smooth and OP reflector.. This will be used as a secondary light for bike riding or possibly a helmet light.

I know the Romisen R5 used an OP reflector and had a nice beam shape for bike riding..
