    Advice:High end color critical fixtures. Quality Vs small difference in CRI

    This emitter is obviously the better one. At least IMO. I am pretty good at matching colors though. If you figure it might be 95 CRI from a good Bin plus the other specs are better. I can see why the 97 CRI less expensive upgrade may not be as accurate. My issue now is the setup in the 97 had a...

    Advice:High end color critical fixtures. Quality Vs small difference in CRI

    Sorry I was busy. They are custom made by Idlewood Electric in Illinois. All it is you pick a high end fixture you like in the showroom. They retrofit a better emitter and electronics plus heatsink. Except Dyson. Dyson has the best heatsink of anything. I incredibly did not write down what...

    Advice:High end color critical fixtures. Quality Vs small difference in CRI

    I know. Also the higher CRI one was no good for a lot of reasons. The 93 CRI one has much better DUV and SDCM. It is a better light. At first I thought the 97 CRI one was better until I started seeing all the artifacts. It may actually be underrated. Since is says 93+.

    Advice:High end color critical fixtures. Quality Vs small difference in CRI

    I did not know they have come that far. I think real 97 is the highest in a portable lamp. They are expensive. Ottlite claims 97 but only measures about 91. Those are not expensive.

    Advice:High end color critical fixtures. Quality Vs small difference in CRI

    Indeed. The one with 97CRI is noticeably better. Perhaps for other reasons as well. Hey, if the emitters last the 40,000 to L90 I honestly do not care if the other one has superior internals. I imagine they put adequate heat management for the job etc. Perhaps those just run cooler. Plus there...

    Advice:High end color critical fixtures. Quality Vs small difference in CRI

    I am not sure if this is the correct forum. If not, Mods please move it. I am looking at high end lamps in the "desk lamp" format. Used for color proofing with photography. I pretty much have a choice. 93 CRI very good fixtures. Top notch heatsinking, best emitters, best electronics,everything...

    Starlingear Custom Torches(Ouch)

    Go Google Image this. To me at least, it is the ugliest flashlight I have ever seen. It could run up to a mere $8000.00USD new. It is a pocket light. A typical 3x219C format. However they only put out 1300 lumens. They also weigh between 7 and 11.5 ounces. I am posting this because I think it is...

    Make new version Acebeam T27 even brighter, more throw

    It is a full featured driver. It is some Chinese one. I don't know because I cannot read Chinese LOL. The guy at the shop is highly knowledgeable and he said this was the one I wanted. I have it set on 50 seconds. It does not even get warm. I am guessing I can go longer but why push the...

    Make new version Acebeam T27 even brighter, more throw

    I fit the heat sink I wanted. I have only run it a couple minutes in fear. It runs about a minute before it steps down quite a bit. At least I know everything is hopefully working. I am still concerned. It is very cold out. I just do not want to do this inside. I should go out Tomorrow with it...

    Make new version Acebeam T27 even brighter, more throw

    Okay, you got me. I am factoring in my time in that number. The X65 is much larger. I even got a deal on the emitter and driver. I am not sure what driver it is, It would be funny if it is vinh. I got a deal on the flashlight too. If you take out my time I have less than $350 in this with 4x...

    Make new version Acebeam T27 even brighter, more throw

    I decided to crank this little monster up about 1000 notches. I have replaced the emitter with a luminus CBT-140 and a custom made driver. Now this little light is outputting over 8000 lumens. it throws about 2300 meters. I think vinh is using an "SBT" In my case the emitter which is 500k, 98CRI...

    Make new version Acebeam T27 even brighter, more throw

    There is for me, nbp. I let it sit and don't charge it. For most users, you are correct. I will tell you that you are lucky you got the Gen2. The Gen2 in general has many little upgrades and fixes over the Gen1. They never announced this or anything or designated it. They just quietly put the...

    Make new version Acebeam T27 even brighter, more throw

    nbp, does yours have a shiny silver center button? Or a rubber clickie? The reason would be if it has a shiny silver center button it will be a lot brighter on 2xCR123. If you have the silver button, try it. Otherwise use a P42A battery. The battery it comes with will not drive it to 2500lm...

    Make new version Acebeam T27 even brighter, more throw

    The Gen2 does and this trick only works on the Gen2. The Gen2 has considerably more output than the original. Otherwise they are very similar. They switched production with no notice at all and there is no designation. They started production about a couple of months ago. There is not even a...

    Make new version Acebeam T27 even brighter, more throw

    The new T27 with the magnetic ring center switch. Not the rubber clickie. The old one was only hitting 1800-1900 lumens. The new one hits slightly over 2500 lumens on a 40T. I discovered it gets over 2800 Lumens on 2x CR123A. You have less MAH and less amps here but I guess it likes the...
