I want to have a torch which I can dim from Low to High continually

[Ernst from Germany]

Hallo., I am searching for a torch which I can dim continually from LOW output to High output.I want to use this torch for outdoor photography.
Especially for mushroom and flowers in woodland and field, especially macro photography.I want to use the torch instead of photo flash.
I want to illuminate my mushrooms and Flowers.
The torch shall be a Flooder below 135 Dollar.
Thanks for your advice, Ernst!

You may want to have a look at the Sunwayman V60C.

Don't know how "floody" it is. Nor do I know whether or not it has good CRI...

Perhaps someone else can provide you with more details.

Sunwayman V10R/V11R , sent it to Vin for a emitter swap or to member *laser* in Germany , a Nichia 219 will do the job.

Sorry, Norm. That link only showed the product (no prices) and to my knowledge you cannot actually purchase the flashlight from that site, so I thought it "OK" to link to it. My bad.

Ernst - the Vinh modified Jetbeam RRT-01 with N219 I casually mentioned in your other thread costs $125 and seems to meet these needs.

Note this is normally offered with one of two XML LED options but if you ask Vinh will likely do an N219 for same price (he did for me). OTF output is around 200lm for the N219 he says.

While single 219's are not terribly bright, this would likely do just fine for macro photography. And the 219 has the nicest tint of any high CRI LED I've seen. The 219 is a pretty small LED though so won't be as floody as the XML. You could ask him about a high cri XML2 though - while I personally don't like that warm a tint (3200-3700K), you can always set your WB accordingly and then you get the big floody LED with a LOT more lumens.

Some of EagleTac's lights have a very simple UI for changing the brightness level, just twist the head. They also have diffuser available as accessories. Take a look at the G25C2 MKII. There are quite a few youtube videos that show the light and accessories.

Why not something like the Quark Tactical series. One setting could be a low mode, and the other high or turbo.
