thought someone might like to see this

Any chance of seeing outdoor shots? :huh:

The LED is one huge SOB!

I think there is a calling for outdoor beamshots :candle:

What kind of drop in is inside the 6P? Nailbender? Custom? Inquiring minds want to know! (and buy)

i just set the camera and light on a cardboard box, i don't do this often, so the aim is not exact, but the exposure is the same 1/5s, F2.8

 

[berry580]

wow... matches versus anti-aircraft search light

lol

 

[Zeruel]

Thanks for taking the shots.

If both exposures are the same, then....
SST-90 is a monster!

I take it the SST90 isn't going to be a throwy light.

Is this the L4s replacement?

I take it the SST90 isn't going to be a throwy light.

I'm not too sure about that. Look at the chair at far end. E2DL is supposed to be a thrower, and the chair is a tad brighter using SST-90.

 

[berry580]

well obviously SST90 is the brighter emitter, but seems like its not that suitable for a thrower.

That beam doesn't even look like my E2DL beam. Mine is the first batch single mode but that shouldn't mean anything.

The SST-90 is substantially brighter, but it has so much pure spill I was a little surprised at how bright the end of the alley was.

I'm just lost but it doesn't matter. I hope to buy an SST-90 soon. Or a 50, I haven't studied that thread well enough yet.

Great pics mate!

Flood or throw, it's still impressive. I can only imagine it with a deep wide reflector. Hopefully, Raptor 3 or Intimidator can answer that.

How fast must that thing go through batteries?

I was wondering, its a single die right? So would it need the larger reflectors like the MC-E and P7 to throw?

 

[outersquare]

i don't know about battery life, i haven't had it long enough.
I had an MC-E dropin also that ran around 30 mins regulated on high, so I expect this SST90 to be even worse.

this is a single mode, direct drive, it starts getting hot the instant it is turned on. The pictures are with basically new batteries, but the output starts dropping off from peak after using it a couple times just because how quickly it eats batteries. So the output/discharge is probably like an incan.

i wonder if a TIR/optic can be made for this LED, that would be even more insane.
