How does the Aleph compare to the VIP w/bh in light output, throwing capability, and size?

Re: FS: Aleph 1x123 Complete Light McGizmo Masterp

This Aleph 1x123 is a half inch shorter than the VIP. The high mode seems comparable in throw to the high mode on the VIP. Not sure about VIP with BH - I don't have the BH. Also not sure about total light output. You should check out McGizmo's Aleph thread for more details.

Very Nice! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/happy14.gif I would be extremely tempted to get it except I've already got a custom Aleph on order..

From my understanding, the Aleph1 reflector is very similar to the PR reflector in the PR/PR-T heads, so the beamshot and throw should be similar or basically the same. From my experience, my PR-T DB917 with TVOK on 2xCR123 out throws my VIP with BH, but not by much. Since this one is a 1XCR123 with a BB500, I don't think this will be as bright as the VIP on High, so, the throw should be similarly affected. I don't think there is anything available now that runs on 1xCR123 that will out throw the VIP. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif

Nice light you got there /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Unfortunately, I prefer something more than a BB500 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Is it possible to mod it to give higher current?

Re: FS: Aleph 1x123 Complete Light McGizmo Masterp

Yep. Easy to do. Just ask McGizmo. He can put in a BB750 or some other.

Re: FS: Aleph 1x123 Complete Light McGizmo Masterp

With 1x123, there's no point in going higher than about 600ma. The single 123 cell can't deliver enough power to drive the emitter any harder than that. In my experience, you can't tell the difference between 600ma and 500ma, anyway.

Re: FS: Aleph 1x123 Complete Light McGizmo Masterp

I agree with Tyler. If someone plans to use the High level consistantly or as the prime output level, the BB500 is the ideal choice on the 1x123 when you weigh output, runtime and efficiency. The pursuit of max top end often ends up in a tool that is handicaped from being optimal in general and real world use. While this tool will loose in a throw contest (not by a lot) it will win in practicality, hands down.

Re: FS: Aleph 1x123 Complete Light McGizmo Masterp

Wow, no takers on this beauty yet? And it's the newest custom to market! Well, let's droppy the pricey. New price posted in first post. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: FS: Aleph 1x123 Complete Light McGizmo Masterp

If this is a "made by McGizmo himself" tk light, then it is a steal!

I just got my 2x123 Aleph and I am still tempted by this!

Someone jump on this great deal before I loose control....
