Lumapower MRV

[ernsanada]

I just received the Lumapower MRV from Ricky. http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=162392

Shipping took 5 days from Hong Kong.

Fit and finsih is excellent.

Type III Hard Anodize has some scratches on the tail cap. Not that bad, something I can live with.

Nicely packaged.

Another light to add to the Lumapower Family.

Beautiful pictures as always! It would be easy for one to be very jealous of your Lumapower Collection.

One quick question. Since the camera cannot capture everything the human eye can, how much brighter overall would you rate the MRV compared to the M1 and D-mini, not just throw?

Nice pictures. Interesting how flawless the MRV beam appears to be, compared to other lights that have ringy beamshots...

The Ripoffs CO-188 fits the Lumapower MRV.

I used this holster on my Streamlight 1 Watt Luxeon Propolymer 4AA Flashlight.

Sorry about the missing pictures. Image Shack has lost them.

The MRV is built for throw. I'm am curious as to how it would compare with a modified Mag with standard reflector and Cree running about 1 Amp. I love the look of the MRV but just wonder what I would gain over the Mag Mod which is one of my longest throwing lights.

Niice to see comparison of the MRV and 4g VB-16.

Is the MRV's beam really ring less?, the only thing holding me back vas the lack of op-reflector and 2x18650 extension tube for the MRV. But must say it is hard to resist getting the MRV, looks awesome ...

Yes the beam on my light is ringless. I was very suprised when I first turned on the light. A very well designed reflector.

Nice review and excellent pic's :twothumbs

That MRV certainly looks the business - I really like the styling. Except that is, for the chromed LE - I think that looks out of place.

For me an HA alloy sleeve would have finished it better. I'm just being fussy because I like the rest of it so much.

Any outdoors beamshots on the way?



Colin.

EDIT
No worries ... I have found some beamshots ... looks pretty good.

Nice work on the review ernsanada. The pictures were very nice as well.
I been eying the MRV for some time now but just can't pull the trigger. Maybe for a birthday present to myself. So many lights, so little money.

What a perfect beam the OP reflector is giving, is it available now, or in the near future???

I'm not sure about the availability of the OP but check Lumapower's Thread on the MRV. Ricky should post some infromation soon.

Thanks for the beam shots. :thumbsup: Any chance of getting comparison shots of the MRV OP & SMO outside say 20-50M? That would be a really big help.

TIA,
