Re: Acebeam W30vn - The LED Thrower R

Modded 4th W30vn Sample and got 2.2Mcd

That's great news!

Re: Acebeam W30vn - The LED Thrower R

How many samples do you have? Are these from customers sending in their own lights? DId you happpen to check the 4th sample stock kcd?
it would be nice to know each sample stock and then modded kcd.

Re: Acebeam W30vn - The LED Thrower R

I can't say I'd be too surprised if they were discontinuing it. LEP flashlights are such a new tech that they're probably rapidly improving the designs and hosts for them.

It's been around long enough (over half a decade), and so basic in operation, I doubt there's much design improvement left in there, barring some phosphor breakthrough that probably would apply to LED as well.

More likely that these are poor sellers: other than the advantages for extreme throw via small emission size (a pretty small slice of the market) and perhaps efficiency, LEP provides no significant advantage to existing LED hand-held lights. Add its considerable cost disadvantage and I don't see it ever being a big sales cow for general hand-held lighting.

I won't be surprised if none of the mainstream vendors have LEP options some years down the road. I expect it will be seen in very specialized, serious throw, expensive pieces, like the $5k microfire.

How many samples do you have? 4. 3 ordered new for customers early on. 1 from a customer.
DId you happpen to check the 4th sample stock kcd? Yes 1.7Mcd

it would be nice to know each sample stock and then modded kcd.

The LEP in these flashlight is analogous to a 5mm 2 lumen LED diode from the '80s. Just as the micro processors in our phones have shrunk and now combine multiple functions all in the same chip, that's LEPs future. It's what SLDlaser is doing with their SMD tech. The laser, micrometer sized combined with the phosphor printed side-by-side on silicone or some layered one dimensional meta-material etc.

OK so it seems I will have to get W30 at $27 more than anticipated. I will send out an email to all that ordered one to go into this in details. Darn it..

Additional money sent early this morning.

Re: Acebeam W30vn - The LED Thrower R

Another Customer's W30 just came in.

Measured 1.73Mcd @ Turn ON

Guess what it will be after boost @ Turn ON ;-)

Whoever is closest gets $20 Gift Certificate ;-)

2.23Mcd

That would have been my first guess but I'll go with 2.33Mcd.

 

[Alex1234]

Re: Acebeam W30vn - The LED Thrower R

I say 2.25M cd

Re: Acebeam W30vn - The LED Thrower R

HINT: 584Lumen at Turn ON

If you want to revise your guess you may do it once!

Nice guess Matt - I should have aimed higher.
