Just Fishing for Ideas on what V54 lights on peoples wish list for the next light....
Mine is going to be the TOOLvn in Copper
Mine is going to be the TOOLvn in Copper
Strangely I'm just sat trying to make such a decision.
K70vn
Tn36utvn
T6vn
M43vn
Cant decide. Will have to see how much money I can raise.
Toolvn looks a great light. I don't have one but it is also on a longterm wishlist. Love a nice patina on copper
Please do. Great choice!
I cant decide flood or throw. Sr96vn also a consideration for ease of battery pack + no heat issues
Imo I find my M43 to be a fantastic light. I have 10508 optics in mine with 219C led's. Just an awesome combo.
Q. Whats your next V54 Light going to be??
A. TK75vnQ70 3 x XHP70 dome on, carrier mod, single carrier; ordered and being built; I am going for maximum lumens in the 3.5 inch diameter class, along with some throw. This will be my first larger than 2.5 inch diameter light. I am going to try very high drain/very lower capacity batteries first, in order to get max lumens, and if the run time is too low, I will then try medium capacity batteries.
I am looking for the brightest points on the size/power continuum to be represented in my collection.

Go with the highest drain,such as Efest IMR18650 3000mAh 35A (Purple) or
Samsung INR18650-30Q 3000mAh (pink). The heat will make you shut it down long before the batteries are depleted.
This is precisely my philosophy!!!
Use sony vct 5!!! I heard they are good.
I have VTC5 cells, and I use them, but the VTC4 drains faster and shines brighter... apparently just not as bright as the batteries MAD777 mentioned.

IIRC those Efest batteries don't actually have continuous discharge of 35A. I think I read somewhere that they can withstand a pulse discharge of 35A and have a continuous discharge of ~20A. I believe that 30A is the highest achieved continuous discharge and the VTC4 are still the only cells that can run that with a capacity of 2000+ mAh.
