WOW!
I imagine the throw isn't great?

Thanks 🙂

Actually the throw is better than you would think. The reflector I used in this is fairly deep for it size 15MM (Kl4 is like 10ish I think). The hot spot is very large even at close range an in the open is indistinguishable. However by brute force this light crashes its way smoothly and evenly through the darkness for about 65 yards.

I'll really miss your work.
I hope you'll still have time to post once in a while. You've helped me out on several occasions.

Thanks Jose

Wow,sounds good
 
Thanks for the mea-sure-ments! (sing previous sentence in your imagination to Bob Hope's Thanks for the Memories) I wonder where VoB got the driver and what its specs are?

This light was modded by CPF member Vestureofblood, then sent to me for OTF testing in my 16" sphere system. With permission from BigC, I'm posting my results for this light here.

Light: Surefire E2DL
Emitter: SSR-90
Battery: 2- AW IMR 16340's
Battery Voltage: Cell #1 = 4.206v; Cell #2 = 4.216v

Have you taken a look at the MG P-rocket and X-thrower with SSt-50s? I wonder where those two would end up on this list.

About 400~500 OTF lumens. In order to get huge OTF lumens with those SST-50 or SST-90 emitters you need alot of heatsink material and those 18650 hosts you mentioned are 6in type aka: small. Plus, while the throw should be more then 5~6K, I thought it will be much more then that. I think most of us here consider throw lights at 20~30k lux at the very least.

Hi BigC! Nice to see you back.

You're the lumens-meister around here. To my eyes in a C2 a P91 bulb looks brighter to me with 2 X IMR16340 than a Nailbender 2.8 amp 3 mode SST-50 on high with 18650. Am I nuts?

Not nuts, just abi-normal like the rest of us flashaholics. LOL

ps. I like a nice bright P91 myself.
 
Ti-Force was kind enough to mod my Titanium Quark 123 head (with 123 X 2 body)with the Shiningbeam 1.4 amp driver and I'm here to tell you that the results were SPECTACULAR!

___________Ti-Force/ShiningBeam 1.4A Mod, AW 17670____________

_______________1 Sec_____321.2__😱_________
______________30 Sec_____272.7____________
______________1 Min______265.5____________
______________2 Min______259.4____________
______________3 Min______257_____________

_________Factory Driver, AW RCR123_______________

______________1 Sec_____219.4__________
_____________30 Sec_____200____________
______________1 Min _____196.4__________
______________2 Min _____191.5__________
______________3 Min _____190.3__________

The Quark 123 still has a nice low and medium and now max is not only blazin the green tint is now replaced by the color of newly fallen snow! I can still use it with RCR123 and the short body with only a tiny drop in output:

1.4 amps at the tailcap with 17670
1.3 amps at the tailcap with RCR123


Jealous? :nana:



Thanks Again Ti-Force!
 
We didn't know how lucky we were when getting updates virtually every day on the hottest new items. I'm intrigued by the lux and lumen ratings of some of the new p60s coming out these days. I've read rave reviews of the manafont t6 and I wonder about the malkoff xml drop in m91. Lots of new fenix a d 4sevens coming out too. I don't know if we can always trust the supposed ansi numbers quoted...like what the heck is ansi otf? I know what ansi is and what otf is but is ansi otf at 3 min or 10 min or initial otf? I trust our intrepid spheresters more than advertised numbers.

I'll probably never be able to put in the amount of work BigC has in this thread, but I do have some Maelstrom S12 OTF data to post, so stay tuned. It will probably be tomorrow night before I get it posted, though.

I was really temped to purchase the S12 myself to see what it did in OTF.

MOre importantly; I wanted to take out the driver and run it direct drive.

I was thinking that a 3 volt LiFePO4 would make a good power source for a DD XM-L. What do you think?
