here it is, a huntlight ft-01 with Cree's XR-E LED from a 0021 batch which are 73.9-100.4 @ 350mA.
With the FT-01's stock reflector, it totally changes the beam profile from spot to FLOOD, imagine a surefire L4 on steroids..
there is no hotspot or spill per say, but it fades gradually from centre. The tint is cool, as in noticeable blue, the FT-01's original Lux III was almost perfect white.
amidst the excitement i didnt take a comparative shot with the original Lux III emitter, but im impressed to say the least. i would guess 3-4x more output compared to the Lux III
as u can see from the pic, there is a slight donut area to the right of the centre, this is due to my rookie soldering skills, im sure if my emitter was soldered centre there would not be any donut.
to get an estimate of the size of the beam, compare to the sofa in the pic, the wall is about 5m from me, and the inner room wall is about 10m.
