Hi,
Just a tricky title to drag your attention:naughty:
Well, it's gonna be a common thread. Some questions and thoughts.
After purchased my TK10 and RRT-0 3 years ago I am starting to wonder if there is a real pocket - laser somewhere on the horizon. Well, these mentioned lights are perfect for me as a EDC lights, but of course I want something more, something jaw dropping:thumbsup: I know there are probably plenty of custom lights which probably suit my needs, but I was curious is there something I can count on from branded products as Fenix, Jetbeam or Surefire. One condition here- it has to be one or max two CR123 light. I know there are 500 lumens lights like that but to be honest I don't believe they would make much perception difference. I've set myself a treshlod of 1000 lumens to see a real difference in light power. Still the adds, even these 500 lumens adds, are saying the light is capable of lighting the object of around 200 meters away. What about, let's say, 400 or 500 meters away?
Computers double it's power on average every 1.5 years. Is it the same with LED lights? 3 years ago the top score for one CR123 was 250 lumens. Today some (like Jetbeam for argument's sake) advertise 500 lumens after I've bought my 250 lumens lights three years ago. So will it be 1000 lumens in another 3 years from single 123?
Here's another question. What is the physical limit of a single LED to produce max lumens output? How do you think? Where's the limit?
Sorry, if there was some kind of similar thread on this forum. Just some of my thoughts in this rare free-time moment for me.
Take care
