Does anyone remember...

I cannot find a thread I started reading about a month ago. And I don't remember the search words that I used to find it in the first place. So a little help if you know.
From what I remember it included backyard beamshots comparing MC-E and P7 LED's. the interesting thing was that the light used produced a very even smooth output. A wide hotspot so to speak. The one part I do remember (this is one of the main parts I'm looking to re-read) the lens looked like a faceted aspheric lens. It looked like a large fake jewel.

Did I imagine it or was it real?

Sorry Gordo , I don't remember seeing it .

Wish I could help ya .

you could look at your statistics screen and see all the thread you started and go from there.

Was it this thread? Or maybe another with a Tiablo A9 with aspheric lens. The holes in the bezel make it look like the lens is faceted.

No, not the same. It was a multiple page.

I have a statistics page?!?
Ok, I looked for the stats not finding it. I'll keep looking for it. That may be the answer provided on how far back it goes.

I've done the same thing Crenshaw. Found a thread of great interest and had a lot of trouble finding it again. You'll figure it out.

Good Luck.

Gordo ,

Did you post a comment or question in the thread you can't find ?

or could it have been in the Market Place ?

or in homemade light's section ?

Thanks for looking.
I checked the statistics page. It only shows threads I posted in. Not the ones I viewed.
MadMook, not the one but I have seen that one before. I saved it to my threads of interest. trying to live up to my sig.

Hopefully someone has a better CPF vocab than me....the combinations of search words I'm using give me the same threads.

Also, maybe check out StefanFS reviews.

sorry, you said "started reading", I somehow skipped the second word and thought that you "started" the thread. if you didn't post in the thread, you wouldn't be able to find it in the stat page.

You could try searching your browsing history.

Could it be a malkoff MD4? That has a large hotspot, although it uses 4 LEDs, not a quad die LED. However, it does have a quad optic that I suppose might look like 4 aspheric lenses in a photograph...

If it is any help, you are describing the Malkoff M60 MC-E.

It sounds like a number of custom lights made by MJ called the Superlight he used a few different Leds and a faceted reflector got an amazing beam.

the 13th post as in the above is all you would need. Check/search your browsing history and if it has not been deleted yet (this depends on your settings), you will find it there.

I wish I knew what thread you are searching but it doesn't ring a bell.

I was going to take, or find a pic of the optic that Malkoff uses in the MC-E and F(lood) models, since the pics on his site are out of date.
Look what just popped up for sale:

Is that optic what you were talking about?

horizonseeker - thanks I realized that I left out that piece of information.

fareast - I clean up every few weeks so no history that far back.
Owen - not honeycombed. It looked like a jewel.

Could you be more specific by what you mean when you say "it looks like a jewel?" In what way? Is it multi-faceted, or does it look like some sort of compound aspheric type thing?
