Thread: New Maxtoch Torch

550kcd, close to 5000 lumens, spot the same size as domed sn6x-2x, with three times the spill. If you use the same measurements as above, you can spot a deer body to 1483 metres.

Runs off 3 batteries, 3 leds running at 4.5 amps x 3.7 volts is only 13.5 watts each, all on copper with hundreds of grams of heat sinking.

It runs cooler than any maxtoch ever will, but run time is only 45 minutes. Batteries weigh 50 grams each.

Just one example of the 50 odd modified torches I have on my workbench not being used, so lent it to Abe for a test. Parts cost about $300.

For whoever was tripping about xml speak:

XML2 is 2mmx2mm
XPG2 is 1.4mmx1.4mm
XPE2 is 1mmx1mm

Your spot size will change by exactly the same size as the die, as will your lumens, but your lux reading (surface brightness) will go up (generally).

The ideal light is different for everyone.
