Enlightened
After recently realizing that my old SF M6 was just sitting around collecting dust (my light interests and needs have moved completely away from incans), I decided a facelift was in order.
I just received my Lumens Factory single level turbo head. Initial appearances were positive. The finish was nice, the threads and machining just as nice.
My disappointment stems from the fact that there is NO WAY that the P7 SSC D bin emitter is putting out anything even close to the advertised 950 lm. I realize this is initial emitter output, but even taking that into account, I would estimate that I am only seeing about 500 OTF lm. I tried new CR123 batteries. I tried my 3x17650 battery holder with freshly charged cells. No difference.
And the tint - while not the worst I have ever seen - is definitely on the green side of cool.
All in all, after what I hoped would inject new life and usage into my M6 - this "upgrade" has simply relegated the light to continue to collect dust. This was not the facelift I was hoping for at all. YMMV.
