Been talking to Mike at OPTICS HQ for a few weeks now about some new stuff he had coming in. He was nice enough to send me a few of the items to check out and photograph and post here. Ive reviewed a few lights at CPF before but by no means do I know what Im doing. I wont be able to do any beamshots tonight and Ill try and get some this weekend.
Basically what you have are TURBOHEAD LED CONVERSIONS, ADAPTERS FOR THE TURBO HEADS, "E" SERIES BODIES, AND TITANIUM POCKET CLIPS(E1B STYLE).
If you have any questions you can ask here in the thread or contact Mike at [email protected]
Here are the specs from OPTICS HQ.
Now to the pics:
BOXES AS RECEIVED
TURBOHEAD CONVERSIONS WITH ADAPTORS ON E2E BODY AND A 6P BODY.
TURBOHEAD CONVERSIONS SMOOTH AND OP REFLECTORS
TURBOHEAD CONVERSIONS TAKEN APART
TURBOHEAD CONVERSIONS WITH ADAPTORS FOR THE "E" BODIES AND THE 6P BODIES. THE ADAPTOR FOR THE 6P COMES WITH AN INTERNAL EXTENSION BECAUSE OF THE LENGTH.
TURBOHEAD CONVERSION WITH THE INTERNAL EXTENSION INSTALLED.
T2 HOUSING IN HA
T1 HOUSING IN BLACK HA
T1 AND T2 HOUSING AS COMPARED TO AN E2 BODY
TITANIUM POCKET CLIP AND T2 HOUSING IN HA
T1 AND T2 HOUSING
SWITCH FROM THE T2 HOUSING.
TITANIUM POCKET CLIP INSTALLED ON SUREFIRE E2E BODY
DIAGRAMS
FINDINGS:
FIT AND FINISH ON EVERYTHING IS EXCELLENT. THE BLACK HA MATCHES SUREFIRE BLACK HA ALMOST PERFECT. I DONT HAVE A SUREFIRE IN HA TO COMPARE. THE HA FINISH ON THE TURBOHEAD IS A MATTE FINISH, AND THE HA FINISH ON THE T2 HOUSING IS MORE OF A GLOSS FINISH.
THREADS ARE SMOOTH EVEN WITHOUT LUBE. O RINGS ARENT SUREFIRE QUALITY BUT ARENT BAD AT ALL. THE TITANIUM POCKETCLIP GOES IN FAIRLY EASY ON THE SUREFIRE E2 BODY. IT WAS A LITTLE LOOSE ON MY E2 BUT MY E2 HAS HAD THE POCKETCLIP REMOVED AND INSTALLED NUMEROUS TIMES SO ITS WORN A LITLLE.
TURBOHEAD CONVERSIONS ARE EXTREMELY BRIGHT. THE ONE WITH THE OP REFLECTOR HAS A BEAUTIFUL BEAM. NOT YOUR TYPICAL CREE SHARP HOTSPOT, LOOKS MORE LIKE A GOLDENDRAGON OR SSC. TONS OF SPILL. I COULD LIGHT UP MY INTIRE BACKYARD WITH IT. PLENTY OF THROW TOO.
THE ONE WITH THE SMOOTH REFLECTOR IS ALL THROW, AND I MEAN THROW. I WAS HITTING TREES 300 YARDS AWAY AND COULD SEE THEM PERFECTLY. THE BEAM HAS A FEW RINGS UP CLOSE BUT PAST 20 YARDS YOU DONT EVEN SEE THEM.
SWITCH IN THE T1 AND T2 HOUSINGS COMES OUT EASY. JUST ONE RETAINING RING HOLDING IT IN. SWITCH IS PLASTIC BUT WELL MADE. FEELS JUST LIKE A SUREFIRE SWITCH.
LATER THIS WEEKEND ILL TRY AND DO SOME RUNTIME TESTS AND GET SOME BEAMSHOTS UP.
JUST SO YOULL KNOW IM IN NO WAY CONNECTED WITH OPTICS HQ OTHER THAN THE FACT IVE BOUGHT A FEW THINGS FROM THEM. I DIDNT GET ANY OF THIS STUFF FOR FREE. ONCE IM DONE CHECKING IT ALL OUT I CAN EITHER BUY IT OR SEND IT IT BACK. I JUST GOT LUCKY AND WAS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME. AND I THINK MIKE JUST WANTED AN AVERAGE CPF MEMBER TO CHECK THE STUFF OUT AND GIVE AN HONEST REVIEW.
ILL BE ON HERE FOR A COUPLE MORE HOURS SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO ASK. JUST DONT GET TOO TECHNICAL.
MODERATORS - IF YOU WANT TO MOVE THIS TO THE REVIEW SECTION FEEL FREE.
IM SURE ILL BE POSTING MORE INFORMATION AS I GET TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH THIS STUFF.
BEAMSHOTS- HERES A COUPLE OF BEAMSHOTS TAKEN AGAINST A WHITE BACKGROUND AT ABOUT 3 FEET. NOT VERY GOOD BUT IT GIVES YOU ANIDEA OF WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE. MY CAMERA DOESNT DO WELL WITH BEAMSHOTS.
