EagleTac M2SC4...

[tolkaze]

I would be very interested in buying one of these.... really want to buy a P7 version too, but will wait for my first neutral light to come in the mail before I make a decision (oh, and beamshots, reviews etc)

Sorry to rain on this parade, but the marketing sheet in the first post clearly says it will contain an M bin WD tint MC-E. That is a cool white LED, not a neutral white.

That's what I thought :thinking:

 

[tolkaze]

Awwwww :( well... whats the real difference from the P7 then

 

[DimeRazorback]

Probably not much... that's why I said I wasn't too excited about it lol

one big difference
"Optional: Neutral White CREE MC-E LED M2SC4 is also available in neutral white 5A tint version. The brightest K-bin neutral white MC-E provides up to 665 Lumen output. The unique color output provides excellent color rendition and very vision-friendly light beam."

Well there we have it!

:twothumbs

I love that down the head pic of the Neutral MCE :D

 

[Jason_Tx]

STOP!!! Take a look at yourselves --- YOUR ALL ADDICTS!!!! Its like crack -- hmm... I want one also

 

[DimeRazorback]

Well... we are Flashaholics :shrug:


:D


...but I wouldn't compare it to crack :shakehead

Does anyone think the old look was better? I think the old look was more attractive.

And what's the deal with replacing the old metal tail with a polycarb? There's no mention of a clicky on the new light as well.

I wonder if the selector ring has been improved, adding notches or is it the same?

My question is how is Eagletac squeezing 800 lumens out of an LED that is rated up to 700 tops?

My question is how is Eagletac squeezing 800 lumens out of an LED that is rated up to 700 tops?

Which emitter is rated at 700 lumens? :thinking:
An MC-E, M flux bin, is rated at 430 lumens at 350mA. It's often said to be ~800 when driven at 700mA (Not that conventional wisdom is correct.)
It's vapor right now so there's no way to know one way or the other.
It's possible to get more than 800 lumens from an M bin too, just gotta drive it harder. :D

Looks like it has a slightly bigger head than the M2X C4 so I wonder what the beam pattern will be like.

 

[csshih]

the tail end looks revised. hmm.

 

[jirik_cz]

It's often said to be ~800 when driven at 700mA (Not that conventional wisdom is correct.)

It is rated as 750-855lm/4*700mA

By the way, the reflector in M2SC4 looks very similar to TK40 reflector...

 

[PhantomPhoton]

Yep perhaps I should have put in 350mA per die and 700mA per die, I guess thats less confusing to many.

 

[ShineOnYouCrazyDiamond]

Assuming they are doing the 18650 rating based on their 2400mAh Li-Ion for 1.5 hours runtime on high. Assuming the Vf is ~4V +/-. That gives you (with a regulated circuit) about 4800 mAh worth of current. 4800 / 1.5 hours = 3200 mA / 4 LEDs - ~800 mA / die.

So at ~800 mAh/die it could be about accurate for emitter Lumens.

was informed it's the same as the second release, with wider gap between mode. :naughty:
