German Members : 1 W Luxeon Light @Conrad

artar · Aug 19, 2003

Did someone saw the 1 watt luxeon led flashlight at conrad electronic for 30 €?

they say it is regulated and runs from an 123a lithium.

here the link : Conrad Electronic 1 Watt Luxeon Flashlight

I do not see any picture, but I have a feeling that it is this light:

http://www.led-and-xenon.com/english/X_11.html

I suppose so because the other manufacturer for 1 W LS cheap lights is Nuwai, and they only sells 2 x 123 lights.

I do not read german very well. Does the site ship in Italy?

Looks neat. Wonder if it will ever be available in the US.

Kiessling · Aug 19, 2003

they say "no pic".
are you sure it is the X-11m from LedWave? This one looks like an Arc LS-clone to me. IMO there was even a thread mentioning they had exactly copied the circuitry of the Arc ....

Boy howdy.... was there ever...
It's here (mercifully locked).

It got heated at times, but the pics are interesting.

I believe this is the one seen at the last Shot Show and was considered by those who saw it there as a cheap made-in-Spain copy of the ARC LS.

Get an Arc LS. We know that they are good, not just cheap copies.

artar · Aug 20, 2003

Anthony,

i think they ship worldwide.

markus_i · Aug 20, 2003

Well - no, it doesn't look like that specific Arc clone (I got the printed catalogue, and that one has a picture: apparently colourless anodized aluminium body w/ a black plastic clip around the bottom half). From the price and the looks, I suppose it's a cheap (China/Taiwan?) light, maybe another Arc clone - or even a clone from the clone.

Markus,

any chance to get a scan or pic of the pic from the catalog ?

thanks,

artar.

Tippe auf Tippfehler - ne regulierte 1W LS für 30€ wär zu schön um wahr zu sein - wer wettet dagegen ? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

"Das integrierte DC/DC-Konstantstromwandler-IC sorgt dabei für eine gleichmäßige Leuchtstärke und eine effiziente Nutzung der Batteriekapazität..."

Ob das alles wirklich ein Tippfehler ist ?

Kiessling · Aug 20, 2003

hat denn jemand endlich ein bild davon?
und wer ist der erste dumme, der es kauft?

yeah JSB, I think we'll switch back to English.
a summary of what was said in German:
we are not sure if it is really a regulated 1W LS for EUR30 since we do not believe the marketing claims of some manufacturers, see LedLenser's claims.
No pic yet, and no one has bought it right now.

Kiessling,

Thanks for the translation, my german is extremely rusty.

First fool?
This must be my part...

- really white beam color
- typ. low dome beam
- maybe Chinese origin, but never seen there
- convenient belt clip
- dirt cheap, abt. 33 US-$
- clickie switch
- regulated, claimed 2 hrs constant output

markus_i · Aug 21, 2003

artar: see jack flash's post. Otherwise, my old scanner doesn't work under my current OS :-(
jack flash: looks about right, although IIRC the Conrad version didn't have the three rings turned down in the front part. Looks awfully big compared to the Arc.
And it has to be regulated - or at least needs a converter. No other way to run a white LED from a single 123.

Bye
