"Flydragon" sst-90 monster with big aspherical lens

Moviles...I would say the lens is about 75mm approximately, I believe it is stated in the advertising as 88mm, that may be close if you include the outer lip that it is held in with.

Grunscga...I am powering with 6 18650's. Maybe tonight I will try a beamshot with the standard head, I have not even taken it outside yet in that configuration.

LHolden any success with the beamshots :candle: ? IS THE TORCH STILL UNBROKEN ?
 
It has been raining lately, so no new beamshots. I am pretty happy with the light overall, but as I said before, I don't have much to compare to other than the catapult....and this light walks all over it.

Sorry for the bad weather! I know it´s sometimes really annoying.

I´m convinced that the Dragon has a PROPER 😱 beam.

I´m more concerned about the quality of the flashlight - structure, threads, seals ... How would the light tolerate "hard" use for example in a boat or outdoors in general? How would you see the quality (structure) of Dragon compared to Maglite? In my mind Maglite is quite rugged light for even hard use. Could the Dragon get near to the quality of Mag in your point of view or is it far, far away..

BTW thank you for the excellent beamshots so far :thumbsup:
 
I am finding that the longer I own this light, the more I like it. I have put a shim in to tighten/adjust the head, which was my biggest complaint.
I ahave not held a mag in my hands for many years, so I can't really compare quality to them, but I would say it is just slightly lower than my catapult...but only slightly. I am actually considering buying a second one.
Took a couple more pics tonight, nothing really too different, I will try to get those up tomorrow.
 
Looking forward to see the beamshots !

In northern hemisphere you need a backup light and what would be better than a flashlight with a PROPER beam! So go for it LHolden!:clap:

Sorry for the slow response, been away for a few weeks.


The newer model is the 2D80 model. See this link starting at post #113. It is a translated Chinese forum that the manufacturer posts on:

2D80 Specifications



After reviewing this thread again, please note:

Post #1 of this thread shows a 2D80 model (9A version - 80mm head).

Post #10 of this thread lists specifications for the 2D60 model (7A version - 60mm head)


See post #23 of the link below for photos of the different heads:

Here is one new beamshot, a new series here, it is 2050' to the houseboat, if you follow the link, there are some control shots, as well as some zoomed in a bit.

As has been stated, google translation is not working very well on these sites.
I don't think there is any upgraded model to the ms 2010 2D60 right away. The lenses they are showing in post 23 are the standard lens (2D60) and the 2D80 is the optional aspheric lens, you can buy the light without the aspheric lens if you prefer, mine came with both.
They are also talking about some other LED...SST360? on post #2 of the "2D80 specifications" link that was mentioned above, but I don't think that is something they are producing in the near future.
 
The price on their chinese westore is $30 cheaper for all models of flashlight, and $3 on D li-ion batteries.

I am amazed that those chineses in the forum actually spend this much money on flashlights, 2200 RMB is like 1 month minimun salary!
 
At flydragon.me store there are also 3xMC-E, SST-50, 2x18650 or 2C flashlights. Prices are not great but they seem to be decent flashlights.
 
Here is another one, with the "standard" head, I am really liking this light more and more. It is very versatile, with 2 heads, and it will work with so many battery combinations, 2,4 or 6 18650, 2 26650, 2 36650, 4-6 17650, 8-12 cr123A, Oh ya, and in a pinch it comes with a AA adapter. Seems like an endless list!
