Too bad it's raining tonight so I can't do beam shots. It appears the RC40vn and the X60vn throw just about the same but the X60vn has a larger hot spot that is more filled. The X60vn has a superior beam no doubt. Lumen wise both the RC40vn and the X60vn are awfully close. In this regard the RC40vn is very impressive as it's down by one emitter.

Thanks Vinh! Can't wait to see my RC40vn!

(.....must.....resist.....X60vn...... :tinfoil: )

Wayne, any update on when you will get the necessary parts for completing the X60vn's?
Were you able to get through to Supbeam?

Gotta wait until after mid of February. China/HongKong/Vietnam basically much of Asia is on vacation.

Looking forward to clearer weather[Seattle] and the awesome beam shots that follow!

Are the RC40vn, and X60vn both dedomed? With the deeper reflector on the RC40, I'm surprised it doesn't win out on throw.

I'm pretty sure they were both dedomed... Based on the timing, I would assume that those numbers came from the RC40 that he modded for me. (6500k dedome XM-L2 + current boost). The X60vn is dedome by default unless you ask for dome-on.

 

[InfinitusEquitas]

Thanks for the reply. Do you know how much Vinh was able to boost current? I just bought an RC40 secondhand - it'll probably end up going to Vinh.

 

[Mbehe87]

Not sure, sorry. He didn't mention what the current was, and I know he is a busy guy so so didn't ask. One very small thing to add, he told me there was one RC40 out of (I think) five total RC40's that he has modded so far, which was too heavily glued to do a current boost. For that light, he could only do the LED swap.
