Hey RA owners! Does anyone that has a Mac's EDC SST-50 and an RA Clicky care to compare the two lights for me? Is it apples to oranges? I'm thinking of picking up one of Mac's lights, but I want to know if it will be as useful as the RA.
My HDS 170 has a yellow-ish corona. In fact I find it a bit annoying indoors, but that really isn't where the 170 narrow beam is meant to be used! Outdoors or with a diffuser it is amazing. Much warmer than my 85TR and E1L but not quite as rich in colour (red, orange, brown) as the Sundrop XR-U.
I put a neutral XP-G R4 in my Ra and now i am totally satisfied. Nice tint and the output is just crazy :thumbsup:
200CN?
Where is this option listed, or do you have to know Henry personally?
Hey zwerky! Thanks for your reply. I love my RA and don't think anything could replace it. But something about the look of Mac's light and the way everyone seems to love it is definitely intriguing.
What model output, and do you have any beamshots? Did you happen to test for what current the emitter was being driven at, and did you have to shim the XP-G up?
Luxmeter readings taken in consideration i would guess it's somewhere in the 170-230lm range - although this is no scientific data as luxmeter readings are not 100% reliable (tint, calibration etc)
Of the bezelmaterials available, steel, aluminium and titanium. Is there any noticable difference when it comes to heatmanagment? The best in theory would be aluminium? And second and third place??
