Spec me an LED Torch

Canon EOS 5D Mark III ?

5D3 yup but the lens gives the picture that look. I used the Sigma 35mm 1.4.

I've got a Solarforce L2N on the way with a Triple XP-G2 to drop in it.

That sounds epic, mine is running the xpg as well but with a different op reflector. Do you have a link to the triple?

The first run is all sold out and i think they said they won't be available for another 6 weeks, links are at the bottom of the first post in this thread:

Looks like it's only the tail of that torch that is HAIII anodised. Goes to show how well it stands up to abuse compared to the standard anodising.

Thanks mate. Ordered.

Just to say that mine has arrived and yes it was a lot better than the standard bulb that came with the solitaire, but, it doesn't look like 15.3 lumens to me. More like 9 or 10 lumens compared to my Thrunite T1 low. For £6.20, not bad.

Cheers will keep an eye on it

I thought that as well. No complaints though really, the "battle scar" look is kind of neat

After a cheap copy of a lenser p7. Any ideas? Normal aa's or aaa's and similar size

How efficient are top LEDs in lumens per watt stakes?
CFLs are around 75lumes per watt, how do LEDs compare?

The new XM-L2 gives 116 lumens per watt.

Thanks for that, would be rude not to get one at that price.

Thanks, form that also saw these, but I can't do electronics. Can anyone explain the data sheet to me?

Why the 25 & 85c values?
On the relative spectral distribution chart, I assume those lines directly correspond with the relative K led?

I assume the jo (easy white at 85c) gives a minimum of 1040 lumens? But what is the watt draw for it?
And what's two step/4 step in the table?

All that goes way over my head

I got new addition to my " herd" today the Zebralight SC52. 280lm off a AA but if you use a 14500 it jumps up to 500lm on turbo. Very impressive for it's size as it's tiny.

reygjabla · 7 Feb 2013 at 00:13

ohhmm! Looks kind of wierd. A family of flashlight? :rolleyes:

I've had a Fenix LD10 for a few years now - excellent it is too. However, they aren't cheap at some £30+!

I'd like to get a big brother, something like the LD25 or LD40, not cheap. Looking on eBay there are various unbranded things that claim high specs at low prices - are there any worth buying? Failing that, any other makes that have products similar to the AA Fenix for a lower price?

I don't need that host but I do WANT it :O

My L2 is a bit scuffed and stuff, could do with a host swap!
