Lightsaber

[Sanderman]

Recently arrived. 16 watts of high CRI goodness. Tint looks just like a Torch Lab Moddoolar High CRI. Only brighter. Much brighter. Button is soft press compared to the first run.

Looks sweet - where's the beam shots?

[mvyrmnd]

Nice work. 2x18650?

[Craig K]

Anymore info? where do you buy these lights? how much do they cost?

A while ago I posted a thread complaining that I hadn't seen anything original enough to be exciting in a long time. This product looks exciting. I've never heard of this company before so I have no idea how good it is but I love the design of the head. Can't wait to see a review in cpf.

I see that Lux has updated their light system. I like the new look and finish. Sanderman's 2x 18650 really does look like a SW lightsabre. Perhaps a full review is in the works? Hope so. Only question I'll raise is heat management, looking at the head assembly [side view] the design has a small "puck" for a head and a thin tube w/ fins. Does it look adequate for a high output 3-up LE? Just asking.

[TEEJ]

Really different looking...ceramic?

Agate on/off button?




And the advertised power/run times are impressive.

$350 is a lot of $, but these are art...I like it.

I can't see throwing one in my tool bag though...and I don't have shelf queens...but, I seem to want one anyway.....dammit.

I really like isolating the head from the batteries. I'd much rather toast the led's than vent the batteries. Of course I'm assuming the design actually works. LOL

[Cataract]

Damn that looks good! and the output (according to the #s of course) I WANNA SEE SOME BEAM SHOTS!!!!

EDIT:

just finished watching the videos on their site... after drooling all over my work table I figured I'll have to start saving money.

My thoughts exactly! These things look really cool. I honestly expected them to be more expensive than they are.

[Shooter21]

I'm surprised they are made in Russia i wonder if there are other flashlight makers there.

[sadboy]

An elegant flashlight, for a more civilized age.

thanks Joe for quality shots. Very nice color balance. May I repost them in my blog?

PS. I forgot to mention it on the paper, yes, new button is much softer.
To prevent occasional switching on you can lock it by fast 4 clicks (click 4 times to unlock)

Damn it. I jut got two McGs.

The site isn't very intuitive though. Trying to find the color temps and optic options...

You can see those comparisons here:

I'll see if I can throw up some pictures and brief thoughts on them in the coming week, but initial opinions are:

Well sell one and get a real light.....

Well spent another bunch of minutes and can't find. If anyone would kindly link the optics and color options then I might bite.

[Ualnosaj]

I saw that page but it's only got two narrow and one medium beamshot whereas there are many more optics option to choose from part of me is kind of glad how hard it is to drop $350 on this

http://lux-rc.com/view.php?p=content...&_sx=0&_sy=110 click on any two shots for a comparison at the top.
Also look for "secondary optics" under the products tab.
