Tiablo A9 53mm aspherical upgrade head!

[shahzh]

So to everyone... make sure you tighten the head all the way down, then back it out until you find the best focus for the distance you're using it! Then you'll have a on your face!

I totally agree on that. Mine came with the GITD o-ring. This is my first aspheric lens light...and I'm very impress. It matched my A9 perfectly.:thumbsup:

I got my specimen a while back, tonight I had the time to test it.

On my slightly overdriven A9 (1.25-1.3A) it manages 67 500 lux at one metre and ~1500 lux at 5 metres. As a comparison my modded Dereelight DBS V2 manages 30 500 lux at 1 m. and ~800 lux at 5 m.

When throwing far the DBS is totally lost compared with the the aspheric A9. Not even close. This is with the aspheric focussed so the die shape is clearly seen at a distance.

The only thing I have that can outthrow it is a quickly smacked together 2A CREE R2 test Mag with an aspeherical lens (surplus shed) that manages a bit over 100 kilolux at 1 m. and 2400 lux at 5 m.

I use measured values, not recalculated numbers.

Love mine as well! It throws even better than my Tiablo A10. As a matter of fact, the only thing in my stable that throws better is my Maxabeam. I love this thing!

Write to Dave at torchworld.com.au, I've placed an order with him to hold an A9 upgrade kit for me + some accessories.

He's a good guy to deal with.

Cheers,

The A10 MC-E with aspheric....WOW!

Is there some news of a pending release ? BTW if Tiablo decided to make a glass TIR optic for the A10 than it would be a double WOW but thats just wishful thinking for now.

This holiday I was on a Starparty in south of Sweden. Among binoculars, telescopes and green laserpointers it was also a "laser flashlight"; actually I had brought with me the A9 with collimator head! People became very impressed, because they had never before seen such a flashlight, and they asked where to buy. I could easily sold my example but I didn't want, of course...
But actually the "laser A9" really works like a green laser pointer to point out stars!

Today I tried it outside. Snowy weather and the whitest possible snow. The projected image of the LED-chip is clearly visible at 15-20m distance on the white snow surface. And that during completely daylight!

Is there any way this would work on a Lumapower MRV?

 

[276]

Doesn't work for it, the lumapower is smaller. You can hold it in place but you get a round beam.

 

[shahzh]

Any suggestion on how to make the aspheric lens not protruding from the bezel?. I've tried using the black o-ring and the GITD together it doesn't work well.

 

[Swedpat]

Shahzh,

I made a protection by thin cardboard and then wrapped electrical tape around it. Not the most reliable solution, but usable. I will soon find some better material, some plastic would be even better. Now I can put it upright without risking to scratch the lens. The advantage also is (in my opinion) that the round holes will be sealed to avoid the stray light through them.
I send a picture of it:

So does anyone have these available yet within the US? I haven't seen them anywhere other than international stores as of yet. Am I just looking in the wrong place?

It's been about a month being sold right here in the US.

Patric,

Thanks for your info and pic. Looks good🙂. I was thinking of cutting out a cardboard into an o-ring shape, using the plastic retainer for the lens as a template and put it on the front inner side of the bezel between the GITD o-ring and the lens. Its really bugging me actually because I can't put it bezel down and its just protrudes about 0.5mm only.

By covering the holes does it make a lot of difference?

 

[trailblazer]

will this fit on a surefire m6?

I don't think so.
