i just bought it from dx and i cant find any outdoor beamshots of it while im waiting waiting waiting, the suck part. my first sst-50 see ya. randy
 
nah nah nah nah nah nah. ive got my sh 40 sst. :nana:

this is such a great light i just had to say that. dont know where to start, its more of a thrower than the trustfire p7 f15 and several times brighter. just a hair lighter than it(weight). but stll has a very respectable flood around the large hotspot. on a wall about 10 ft away the hot spot is about 2ft and the flood is 4 ft top to bottom. while the spill (just for refrence) is about 13 ft. top to bottom. dont ask for beamshots, i dont have a camera. not a camera person. sorry.

5 amps on high yes i said 5amps, actually on a fresh charged 2400 ultrafire i saw 6 for a short time, dont think you will be running 2400 protected trustfires in it they shut off on high after a few seconds. and they only do about 4.5 amps. in my opinion a decent batt for the price but not like the brand name ultra fires. medium is 1 amp and low is 80ma amazeing amount of light for only 80ma, can see it on the wall 40 feet away.

ive been wanting to find a light i can use with a good amount of flood when im outside checking equiptment and writeing my readings(a little dot is useless to me) but i also like to light up the surrounding buildings(my playtime) and maybe hit a tagger or two. im pretty sure this light will do it. sometimes i bring out my homemade light with the 50 mm aspherical lens that throws a couple times further than the small 28 mm aspherical throwers. this aurora wont come close to to my 50mm but is should be good enough. my home test is this; i live at the end of a culdesac and i stand in the middle of the street and at the very end across the street a house faces me. so its about 15 houses down. and this light will light up the house, not bright but very good. ive ordered 2 reflectors that look like they might fit from kadiomain to experiment with. havent recieved yet. the reflector is a little deep moreso than the picture looks. the people asking about the sh-44, should throw even further as the pictures look like the reflector is more deeper than this one.

you wont be running this one on high for more than 10 minutes as it gets hot. but what would you expect running 5 amps. on a single batt frame light.

if you want something powerfull with throw and flood for outside and small and light enough to carry in a holster, stop messing around with all the cheaper lights and get this one. you will be happy.



also for questions which never seem to stop about the furtherest throwing light wf 600 or 500 or recoil light or etc etc etc. if you want a long thrower light that throws at least twice as far as all these lights just make a aspheric lens light with the 48 to 50 mm lens cant remember exactly and mount it in a mag or buy a cheap light like the 500 series (i think thats what they call these) that have a 50 mm head on it. change the led to what you want, i have even had good luck with the xpg-r5 in it. you can have the best of both worlds with it by screwing the head back and forth from flood to spot. to me its the perfect light except one thing, 50 some mm head is just a little to big to carry on your side.

. you will be lighting up things several blocks away for less than 50 bucks, the lens was only 4 or 5 $ and theres enough info in these forms to make it 10 different ways. then when you show your friends you can actuallly say you made and designed it. a good feeling

cant think of anything else, oh the light is very white. look at the guys picture below the light on dx. when you see the photo that hits the small tree and lights up the back trees by the houses. those trees could be 4 to 500 feet away. thats how good this light is at distance.

i thought of my new slogan when i figure out how to do it.

now you gota ask yourself, do i feel lucky? well do ya, punk? (clint eastwood) just kidding, order this one and you will feel like you have a 44magnum with remington jacketed hollow points in it. a mighty powerfull feeling for such a small light. take care and continue to love the light, especially the real light JESUS the light of men. GOD bless you all.
