Multi-Luxeon switchable Torch

Is that a good idea.?

We already have multi-led switchable torches.

One (or more) with say 3 luxeon leds, switchable, to give increased illumination.

Main problem would be focussing the leds, perhaps a wide base reflector, not giving such a narrrow spot as accustomed with single luxeon led.

I do appreciate that 3 luxeons would probably give only double output of 1 luxeon, so therefore choice between 1 or 3 on switch.

Probably need AA or C cells for reasonable battery life.

Other idea, is there a multi-led torch which has a luxeon as central led ?

Not just headlamp, they seem to have few led's

Do a search for Tri-Lux or Quad here at the forums and you will be very pleased with the results.


You can try Kroma too



There are lots of lights just like the ones you decribed.
Usually in the form of a Mag C or D.
There is aslo a Tri-lux III made by Nuwaii.

The Kroma is the new light from Surefire.
It has a ring of 5mm Leds around a Optic which hosts a Lux III i beleive.

Now that's a big boy..

Yeah, the PQS or PTS with 20mm IMS reflectors make near perfect focusing a snap...

You can also search for a forum member named WildRice that did a PQS with 4 different colored Lux IIIs. Had a switch to select which LED would light up and it had an nFlex controller to have variable brightness.

VERY cool!
