If i were looking for the best hotspot and longest throw in a multi Emitter light.

What option would be best?

7x McR20S with Seoul emitters.
7x McR19XR with XR-E Emitters.
7x McR20 modified to accept the XR-E emitters.




Thanks,
Benny

Honestly ... I'd forget the hotspot and concentrate on corona and spill management. Way more important IMHO, but that is a very subjective call, I know.

The best defined spot you will get with the McR-20S and the SSC.

My beam preference would be the McR-19XR with the Cree though. Tight spill and great corona. Awesome field of vision in mid range.

Thanks Bernie,

I think in an imaginary light like this with 7 emitters the spill will be great no matter what solution i will go for.Hence the question what will produce most throw.As i am looking for a mid range to long range light.

My favorite small reflector is the McR19XR,no doubt.
Ive also considered using the cheaper 20mm kathod reflectors which produce a very nice beam imho.There are also sputtered versions of these to be had so mixing them could produce a interesting result.


Ofcource this is all in my head for now,but i really want to see a light like this come to fruitation.
The Head diameter should not be awfully large...i think...:D


Mac is using the same idea in a smaller version 7x Mcr17XR Reflectors Direct driven with 6xRCR123`s in series.My vision is 6x18500 Li-ions in series which should produce a little better runtime and output.
Would the gain from going from 17XR -19XR be noticable enough to go through the trouble of having a light like this made?



Im beginning to think i should have posted this in Mac`s forum since this is right in his alley.
:candle:


Can any of the mods work theire magic?

You won't get a long range light with the combos you mentioned. The SF M6 HOLA has about 20.000 lux IIRC ... and is far from being a long range light. You won't be much better, if at all, with the light you are describing.

I guess 7x19mm reflector won't fit in the usual hosts like KT4 and Mag?

P.S.: you want that thread, moved, right? to Mac's place?

Benny what host are you going to use? The 17mm reflectors I'm using in the Sceptre are the limit on a Mag host. Even with the MCR17xr's I have to heavily bore the head.

lupine.de has something alike, 7 emitters, but with a cutom lens set. Its called betty, i have wilma, 800 lumens with 4 leds. They are extremely bright, superb build and a steep price :)

But 7 emitters will pull a lot of current!
