Actual Lumen Readings in 10.5in Sphere.

Now when somebody copies it for under $100 I'm in business. I have a $100 limit. Keeps me out of trouble for the most part. On a couple of occasions I broke my rule and ended up regretting the purchases not just because of expense but because for one reason or another I was actually disappointed in the products.

With the exception of the Fenix TK40 I haven't tried a light yet that struck me as actually being worth over $100 to me. Now I know you'd go broke handbuilding quality merchandise at those prices so I just have to stay away from what I consider "collector" quality flashlights.

All of that said - this one really sounds great! :twothumbs
 
I will post pictures later on and a new secret CBT-90 Copper VARA2000 Frankenlight comming my way on loan from lambdalights.com

90~100k lux off the same SST-90 type off emitter and the same deep rebel reflector with same control knob.:popcorn:


The PCC built SSR-90 2D/3D Mag is going to be more then that just in parts. The SSR-90 65k tint (impossible to get, but try), the copper slug, UCL lens, 2D Rebel Mag, Rocker switch, AS5 tube, teflon coated wire, time to fabricate all this ect.......$100 dollars would be the deal of the year.:grin2:

Oh I know that. I enjoy seeing the pics and reading the stats. That will have to do. Great stuff.
 
BigC,

I know I remember you testing an Olight SR-90, but I can't seem to find it. Am I missing it somehow? I just finished testing one of the new SR-91's, and I wanted to compare for giggles :D.

Big C,

Can your sphere measure over 3000 OTF? I am planning on the Full Copper heat-sinked Tri SST-90 to get back to the top of your chart.
I am anticipating ~4000 Lumens OTF (~6000 led lumens), but not sure if you sphere can measure that high?

I like that you re-organized the charts. If you list the lights by OTF numbers from big to small in each category, it'll be more interesting.
It'll motivate people to send lights in & get to the top of your chart :devil:

If I recall It should be good up to 4500 OTF lumens.


Good idea on the charts too. The lights would be bragging rights for the manufacturers, so I dont know how great that would be. Now; if it would be DIY sub 4500 lumens lights in order then the chart might be fun.
 
The 24in Sphere can measure up to 4587 OTF lumens:wave::wave::wave:


Now: I got a 2D Electrolumens with MC-E. The heatsink I noticed was really not to my liking so, I asked PCC if he can make me a heatsink with his copper slugs. Since it was DD off 3 NiMH C cells I figured the copper slug would be nice.

Here are some heatsink pictures and lumens before and after:

Here is the original heatsink leaning on the new and improved heatsink.

Dang, that thing looks ugly (the copper one). That's part of the reason I never took pictures of it. It was a bear to make and caused me to throw a few fits. I'm glad you like it and good to see the numbers from it. That Ledil optic throws a really nice beam. Looks like I'm going to be ordering one or two for myself but I need to find a good host for it.

BTW, I found out that the Blaster head is thread compatible with my old, pre-D MagLite. Interesting...

When I tested with the original heatsink I didnt use the front lens, but when I took the new OTF readings I did. Plus, I have to re-measure with no lens and sub C NiMH by Tenergy. The current is actuall the same as the full size C's. I just looked at my notes and originally I actuall tested with those Tenergy Sub C's, not full size variants. So, I have to re-test for consistantcy and duplicate the test with the same variables (minus the heatsink of course).


more on that later:whistle:

Need a 2D mag with the rebel reflector?
 
The copper heat sink looks like an Overkill for MCE.
But for Triple SST-90, it'll be a different story :devil:

^^^ ma_sha1 is so convinced that the copper heatsink is overkill that he had to post it twice :D Looking at the numbers you can see that the copper heatsink really does help when you get past about 1 minute. Those numbers might improve if bigchelis carefully removes the LED and applies some Arctic Silver underneath the star.

Thanks! Are you going to the next SheDevil GTG? LMK how much you want for it. I was going to wait for the next Black Friday Lowe's sales to pick one up but I'm definitely interested in yours.
