Hi Cri makes Big difference from one another when dealing with 50,000

Both of the LEDs above are not HCRI. There is a 5700K 90CRI but lower output.

Thanks. That's not good. I also sent him a few pm's over the past few months and heard nothing back.

Activity here is not the same as before. Editing abilities have also been removed. I love CPF but something is different.

I used to be on CPF daily (multiple times). Actually came here to see what vinh might have in terms of headlamp as I'm wearing a hardhat alot lately and have a ~4 year old nitecore that I believe came from Vinh. Use flashlights in industrial sites and have loads of lights...., also got into watches...

Also - trying to save my disposable income....

I have dozens of V54 flashlights bought over many years. I recently received my 1st mule. It's the D4Kvn with NB90.16. What a HUGE emitter! Needless to say it is blinding at 9000 lumen!

While it is fun to double click into turbo (real fun!), I have found it immensely useful for digging around in closets, attics or basement nooks with less than ideal (poor) lighting.

Hunting for buried treasures (lost items) in such places involves closeup work that is perfect for a mule, as opposed to a beam flashlight.

I wonder what are the specs for mule 12x 519a 5000k dedome. Can 12 emitters even fit onto a board that size OD?
