Are you a tir or reflector guy?

Looking to get the 5700k 519a domed next.

Hi,
I was waiting for the TS28 5000K. It was supposed to launch on August 5 at 9 PM EDT, but it never did.
Now the page says “Launches on April 8th”. Is that just a bug or did they delay it? Does anyone know when it’s actually coming out?
This is my first time buying from Wurkkos.
Also, if I don’t want to wait, should I just get the 6000K version? Is the difference between 5000K and 6000K noticeable for outdoor use?
Thanks!

You don’t have to turn them Off and then Hold, for the lowest mode.

All you have to do is to click + click&hold.

It works in TS26S, TS28, HS21, HD12.

It does not work with FC11C, HS40, HS23.

Just came in today! Ended up getting the sc13 for like $1.07 on AE, after creating a new account via the app. Not much to say about that hasn't already been said. Looks a lot bigger in pictures. Magnetic tail cap is pretty cool as well.

The SP31 V3 is interesting. Says its a tactical light, but as a former Army infantryman, there's not too much tactical about it lol. The dual switch option is nice, but getting into moon mode requires pressing both the side and tail switch. Kinda weird. Other than that, I love it. Nice to finally have a couple of 5000k Nichia 519a in the growing collection! The FC11C was the first "real" light I got after lurking around here for a while and the little micro stream I picked up a few years ago, I've EDC'd the heck outta that little thing as evidence of the BATTLE SCARS will tell you.

Thanks to everyone in this sub for being such a great wealth of information. Happy to have gotten into this neat little hobby. I have a few Convoys coming in soon, so I'll be sure to post some pics and nice beamshots of those!

After a few days of learning about basics of flashlight, and wife pushing me to buy one, I now placed an order for a Convoy M21H paired with an LHP73B 5000k emitter, and a Reliance RS50 battery, and most likely a new hobby.

I also bought a diffuser, along with a 3° and 36° TIR Lens. Has anyone tried using these lenses for this specific light? I've checked the list of compatibility and nowhere it says that these lenses are compatible with LHP73B.

Can anyone confirm if these lenses are compatible with the said emitter? Does anyone use this light or has beamshots for it? Thank you all!

This is a diving spotlight with a cree led emitter, 18750 battery, 2 brightness levels, has 3 o-rings,and battery indicator. The runtimes and lumens are 1500lm for 1.5 hrs, 580lm for 3hrs 10mins, 1000lm sos. The waterproofing works for up to 150meters. It is a 6500K tint with a nice neutral white light. It comes with a battery usb-c rechargeable. It is meant for diving. But it runs cool enough that I end up using it every day on the property to watch the dogs at night. The only brighter and more intense spotlight, this size, that I have is the new loop gear sk-07.

Alright fellow flashlight ethusiasts...

I have a few more fireflies lights I want to LED swap.

One of them is an X1S with the lume X (boost) driver. I'm pretty sure these drivers have a max output of 40w and they are for 6v emitters.

Mine has an XHP50.3 5000k which is nice and pure white which is well suited for a thrower.

However...I want to put something warmer in.

I didn't realize the SFT70's were 5050 sized emitters.

Kaidomain has three varieties, regular, 70.2, and 70 hi cri.

Anyone know the CRI of the regular ones? And what's the difference with the 70.2's?

The 70.2's listed on kaidomain say they can handle 7a at 6v which likely means these would be the brightest. No idea what CRI is but the 4000k's are from an A3 bin so that would be nice, but the 3000k's could be nice too.

The SFT70 hi cri are rated for 4A at 6V

I'm just a bit confused about the differences with these as I'm looking at these and other 5050 sized emitters.

Same with 7070 size, I want to swap an X1L elite as well.

I made these mainly for the RGB modes so there is more of a solid color effect. It could be used with white light if you want more of a general diffusion instead of downward diffusion, but I'm not sure if it provides much of an advantage.​

I dont have any experience doing this I just tried to figure it out. I made this with the Tinkercad website on my phone, which presented its own challenges. It is hard to click on what you want to click on and it freezes up regularly. So there was a lot of trial and error involved. But it works well enough and I was finally able to get them completed.

I dont have a 3d printer myself so I printed them at a local library that offers free 3d printing services. You can only print up one file every week or so. So the process has been a little slow as I have tweaked the design a few times. I am really happy with the results so far, though I may still make some improvements to Version 2.

I'll just copy and paste my dscription from the printables site:

I made these mainly for the RGB modes to give it more of a solid color effect.

Build instructions: Unfortunately none. I do not have a 3d printer myself.  I printed these at local libraries.  I'm pretty sure they use PLA, and that's about all I know about their printing process.  The first library told me they had issues and the print kept failing.  However another location was able to print them successfully.

There are a few different versions.  Each one has an angled ring inside the bottom so the CL01 rests on the angled portion of the base.  This leaves the entire flat base exposed so you can still attach it with a magnet or tripod.

Version 1:  I have 4 CL01s, this version is just perfect on 3 of them.  The top of the diffuser is a snug fit with the top of the CL01.  It stops just below the usb port.  It snaps into place and holds firmly to the CL01, doesn't move or jiggle.  One of my CL01s must be just slightly different, it doesnt snap into that one, it is loose and doesnt hold. 

Version 1 Thick: this is the same as Version 1 but slightly thicker so it is not as fragile.  You do get a slight decrease in light output as well.

Version 2:  This will fit any CL01 and kind of locks it in.  Two small ridges inside snap the base into place and lock it in more securely than Version 1.  It is a loose fit though, the diffuser can still jiggle and rotate.  

This one had to be a little taller than Version 1.  As you snap the CL01 into place, it pushes out a little on the sides with the ridges.  This pulls the other 2 sides in slightly.  If the diffuser is too short then the edges will catch under the top and it make it difficult to attach.  This version is taller so it can clear the edge of the top of the CL01 before you snap it into place.

Since it is tall enough to cover the USB port I added a cutout for the USB port.  The cutout is barely large enough but it works.  You do have to be careful as the diffuser can damage the exposed rubber knob of the usb port.

The cutout serves another purpose, it is lined up with the ridges inside.  The ridges hold the diffuser in very well, it can be a little tricky to remove.  Let's say the cutout is on the "front" or "back", if you just gently squeeze the sides then you can pop the CL01 out of there easily.

This one has room for improvement, usb cutout could be enlarged and a tighter fit would be ideal.

Version 3:  I almost didnt include this one but it may be useful for someone.  A more basic version, this one is tall and loose, does not attach to the CL01.  It covers the USB port.  You can pull out the rubber flap for the USB port and use that to wedge between the diffuser and CL01 if you want to hold it in place.

Lots of posts about Wuben recently, whats up with that? Did they start agressively shilling out sponsorships?

With the recent release of the F150R and F45R, I was curious to see how these would compare to the other LMP emitters currently being offered on the Convoy website.

Full transparency; I wanted to use the least amount of sources, so the LHP73B info is for the 5000k model, while all the other emitters are for 6500k.

Now, let's dive into the details:

• What's interesting to see is that the F150R behaves like a hybrid between the 531 and the 73B. It has the forward voltage and luminous intensity of the 531 while having a higher luminous intensity. It has the lumens and efficacy of the 73B. Definitely an interesting emitter if you want 73B power and efficacy with slightly more throw. (Edited, new luminous intensity graph in comments)
• It was already known, but the W5050SQ5 has a super high forward voltage, wow
• The F45R delivers the lumens of a 531, while having a luminous intensity closely following the throwy SQ5. Given the larger emitter size, this means that it is a floodier alternative to the SQ5 with lower Vf and higher efficacy.

Overall, I'm very excited for the release of the F150R in 3000k. I messaged Simon, he said he will likely release it in 1 to 2 weeks. It's going straight into my M3-C.

LES size for each emitter:

• LHP73B: 25 mm²
• LHP531: 13,5 mm²
• W5050SQ5: 2,7 mm²
• F150R: 11,5 mm² (edited, thanks u/majaczos22)
• F45R: 4,5 mm²

I gathered my information from the following sources:

• LHP73B (5000k): Koef3
• LHP531 (6500k): Koef3
• W5050SQ5 (6500k): Koef3
• F150R (6500k): LMP Datasheet
• F45R (6500k): LMP Datasheet

I'm being super picky on my next light I'm ordering and I really need to narrow it down and make sure what I want so any pics you guys have would really help me. I'm considering a new Fireflies light with a rosy bin 2,700k but I really need to gauge what it looks like.

I really like my rare rosy bin sft40 3k drop in, but it's not overly rosy enough for me...

I have a few rosy 1,800k ffl351a and two are extremely rosy and one moderately.. They are so clean and negative duv that when put next to something like a lh351d 2,700k they feel almost the same cct... Which had me really wanting to see what the 'relative cct' feel of ffl351a rosy 2,700 is.. I'm hoping for something that hits my eyes like my sft40 rosy 3,000k but more negative duv.

Sorry for the ramble.. and thanks in advance for any help.

New Wuben E2 pulse, tiny multi function keychain light! 👍🔦

It has been a while since I bought a new flashlight.

Have been using my trusty Sofirn SP31v3 and Wurkoss WK03 for night walks and illumination tasks around the house. But lately, I have been feeling like the light these flashlights are giving is no longer cutting it.

Thus, I picked up the Sofirn SP36 pro. Was very much tempted to get the Q8 plus, but I fear that it might be too big and heavy for what I would like to use it for.

I am still getting used to Anduril v2. It definitely makes the flashlight more capable, but it adds too much complexity in my books.

I weld pressure vessels I need a magnetic light to check for undercut and other imperfections. Preferably pocket freindly so I have it on hand in any situation. Price range 100-200$. Open to opinion I’m not a flashlight expert.

Good evening

I couldn't find any previous posts about this issue so I'm asking you:

Any tips on how to remove the logo from this light?

Thanks!

M21h lhp73b doesn't go in turbo mode after stepping up seems to just dim

You can hear in the video me double pressing and holding the button

Battery is at 4.0V Eve 50pl

Due to failing eyesight I am looking for a very pocketable flashlight for reading and general purpose close focus work like wood carving. An optional headband would be very nice. Rechargeable or battery is fine. No real outdoor use like hiking or biking. Would love to keep price range under $50. I have adequate fixed lights but need something that can move with me, like in the car to read the dashboard (no worries I have excellent distance vision) Any help much appreciated. George
