Here is a picture with the Flydragon on the left, and a Fenix TK11 R2 on the right. For reference, the tv is 55"

I like this picture, what a difference with the TK11!! you have put a good information about this light Holden, throw is difficult to describe, but what do you think is the effective range or distance with the aspherical head this flashlight can illuminate?

I think you don't have a SR90 intimidator to compare, so i appeal to all CPF community :grin2:, do you think the flydragon with aspherical throws farther than SR90?

Holden, do you have a luxometer? It would be very good to know what numbers the fly aspherical moves.

Thanks for your efforts.

:thumbsup:

As you say, throw is difficult to describe, and I would certainly not want to compare it to a light that I have never physically seen. The picture below is over 600 meters, and that is definately not the limit of this light.
I would like to get a lux meter, if anybody has any suggestions for a good sub $100 model, let me know.

I am willing to spend a little more than that, I would like to feel somewhat confident that the results are comparable to others on this forum.
 
Just received the package containing the light (2D60 BV), aspherical lens, 2 D-li-ion batteries and charger, will have to find an adapter to run the charger (only included the chinese outlet plug) but from a quick shot, it lit up the building on the other side of the freeway.

will try to get photos online tonight if my home network cooperates.

If anyone wants more photos, I can provide them

running the light with 2 D li-ion batteries, long enough that the over-discharge warning works, but haven't got it hot enough for the temp. warning to kick in yet.

Hope to get to a dark enough place for beamshots.

If anyone is in the LA area and wants to see it in person, PM me and we can arrange it.

Awesome! How hot was it to the touch? Did it come with the thermal grease, or did you add that? If it came with it, that's a nice touch...

Also, I noticed that you took the aspheric-equipped pictures with it tailstanding. Are the 'teeth' not long enough to protect the lens when it headstands?

I read this as LA=Louisiana and went "wait, there's a Santa Monica in Louisiana?" :laughing:
 
thermal grease came with the light, what you see on the photo is actually less than what came with it, it overflowed a little and I had to wipe it off.

the light did not get hot (not enough that it shut down) The heat dissipation is pretty good, also the light body is long, so depending on where you hold it, you may not feel much heat.

The teeth on the aspherical bezel will protect it just fine when doing headstands, I took it tailstanding because the bezel down was too large for the surface I had it standing on, it's huge. I shall hereafter refer to it as my one-eyed monster!

Can you post a photo of yourself holding it in your hand? It seems massive compared to the surefire!

I ran mine for over 15 minutes, with the aspherical head on, and the temp in the fins at the hottest point reached about 145 degrees after 10 minutes, and seemed to level off there.
