hey Fresh Light
Nice pics, whats the distance to the post in the center? I definitely want to upgrade my VP XML 3c to a VPT now....

Is the width of the Turbo's head similar or even the same as the SR-90's head? Would the olight diffusor fit onto it or has anybody found a different one that will fit?
Is it worth it to de-dome the led on the turbo model and how much warmer does the tint get?
Do you know approximately how many lumens are lost when the LED is dedomed? How much lux is gained? Thanks in advance.
I tested various SST-90, SST-50, XM-L, with and without DOME.
Lux will increase 25%~~
Lumens drop 30~40%
For me personally the drop in lumens is just not worth it.
The VaraPower Turbo is my next light. Lamdalights is just very busy but hopefully next month I can have my own.
I am getting a special one made. Mine will be 16A or so. This is possible due to copper to LED bonding. I have an XR-E R2 EZ1000 pill with LED to copper bonding at 12 watts it stays nice and pure white tint. Yes, 12~13 watts out of XR-E R2:devil: Lamdalights helped with bonding them.:thumbsup:

Why does your Lamda hydra with narrow optics look like it has 3 times the output as the reflector version?
If I wanted one of these for max throw what would I order? De-domed obviously to start with what about amps tint blah blah blah?
And Id like to see a shot of there TK70 in there it seems to be more of a contender than the SR90

Man, that VPT puts out alot of light. its difficult to tell the differences in the hotspot between the VPT and the deft. In person does the deft still throw further? There appears to be a ton of spill on the VPT from those pictures. Do you have any pictures where you are no zoomed in?
Thanks,

Here they all are. No question the DEFT is the best thrower I have and the VPT is the best reflector LED light yet. The VPT with the aspheric, no reflector, looks like a tv projector image but brighter. I think that's what the sst LEDs are being used for in some applications. I think it really looks less bright than the image shows it to be. VPT is much better with the reflector, it would take an enormous lens to collimate that die.Well I wasn't there when these lights were being fielded but you can clearly see the DEFT of solidly beating them. Look at the trees behind the pole. Notice the saturation of the colors and how you can see things back there that cannot be seen with the other lights. The DEFT was designed for spotting at distances far exceeding the target of those photos. I'm blown away at how well the VPT did against the SR90. Looks to me that it beats it despite being much smaller which is very hard to do. Seems I will have to amend a recent post. Good job Lamda. :thumbsup:
