Look What I'm Getting...

'ARC mania' is at it again.

Look what he made for me.

A SINGLE die LED --- A SINGLE CR123 battery --- around 400 lumen output, twisty...








No further details.


Njoy...

Now that is a lot of light.....whats it made up of and how long is that sucker.

WoW, is there a production/release date?

400 lumens from a single die emitter? Maybe a single dome emitter? Could be a P7.

Direct drive off of a RCR123? Or is there a powerful boost circuit in that light?

omg, what is this monster!

single die? thats highly unlikley....

even an r5 would need to be driven insanely hard for that level of light. maybe its the Cree Mce?

That LED still has 4 dies.

precisely why it might be the Cree MCE, rather then a single die led. It would fit the place of a single die led, having the same footprint and all.

Thats like a battery guillotine.:duck:

Sounds like people are calling "shenanigans!" Single die? Come on, let's hear it!

= CR123A bomb

not really, it will still be under 2.5A taken by surefire hola lamps, but the thermal density will be quite high

Then primaries yes, RCR

thats alright, the the boost circuit cant run on rcrs anyway

400 lumen's for
What 5 minutes?
Really?
While I suppose this is cool if you like to have a little show off light but...


Just do you expect to be able to do with it?
How long do you expect the batteries to last?
What kind of emitter?

IMHO a light like this carries little or no utility value.
First of all it is too bright to be practical for anything except for showing to your buddy and saying hey look at this and then saying WOW!. Then It is unlikely to operate at this brightness level for any sort of useful length of time.

Personally I just don't see it.
Especially since it is likely to be priced somewhere north of $200.00
Personally If I buy a light which is somewhat expensive it has to be of practical use. In the [past I have spent too much dough on lights which have sat and done nothing for long periods of time.
NO More of that for me. If a light can't prove it's utility shortly after I buy it it is gone.
I no longer even buy lights which do not fit my idea of practical tool grade flashlight.
The only practical use I could have for light of this nature is on my keychain. always there ready to produce a blinding bright light until the battery dies.
Sorry If I am less than enthuistic. That said I am open to learning more about this light.

Why not post all of the specs?
T7075 aluminum
HA natural
Chem kote interior
AR coated mineral glass lens
Cut down 27mm orange peel reflector
Converter- Will have 5 output choices - SC1500, SC1100, SC900, SC500, Buck/boost SC400 or Multi-function boost only at 475ma in high mode.
Run time- Depends on converter used SC1500 - 25 minutes.
LED - TFFC 220 lumen K2
Approximately, over 300 lumen light output with SC1500 DC/DC converter.
1 x CR123 only.
Key ring hole on battery barrel
Serial number
Only 35 units total will be made

BTW they are sold out.
The specs say 300 lumens not 400.

It looks like the P7b option will produce 400 lumens!! wow. I still do not understand the OP lack of information......



These are not my favorite types of postings.....partial or incomplete and inaccurate information. I am sure it was not deliberate.

Possibly a SPECIAL custom job...??

HA natural --- yet the picture shows it to be bare
K2 LED --- er... um... a... nope!
Key ring hole on battery barrel --- no hole there
Serial number --- yet no number listed - Prototype -
The specs say 300 lumens not 400 --- hmmm? if all of the above info is different, then... I'll stop here.

The original post (OP) is what it is. Re-read it... especially the second line.


Njoy...

So is the SC1500 sending 1.5A to the K2? 300 emitter lumens makes sense then. So would a Cree R2 at 1.5A be over 300 emitter lumens? I assume the advantage of the K2 is tint, and it can better handle the higher current and temps?
