I don't know about TOYO, but any silicon grease should be good for lubing the O-ring, in fact it is recommended by the manufacturer, most manual states that. btw, I dont't know Toyo sell silicon grease, I thought he is a dentist?

65 lumens good to use in door mah, you want to blast 500 lumens when you wake up at night meh, or you wear sun glasses when you sleep. Joking, just different needs. I like blaster and thrower, but some times I need moon mode flash light too.

One thing is, the Led Lenser might not have the same standard as the China manufacture, I mean the way they rate it. I have read many owners saying that it is alot brighter than many lights claim to have more than hundred lumens. And it throw like crazy because it can be focus to have almost not spill, all lux on the hot spot. Will see it personally soon.

For example, my surefire E2DL 120 lm is way brighter than the PD30 rated at 245 lm, though they have the same quality (but I hate surefire tailcap spring, it looks it was poorly manufactured) but their lumens rating is different number, Fenix has 100% over surefire LOL but Fenix is more practical in terms of price.

ps:

bro susuman,

fast fast get one and let's us do comparison with this... but i thing that i really like is the long runtime...

btw, why do you need a throw light for indoor use...

just pm bro Philightsophy to send me the SP-9 kit ( xenon ), really want to try out the xenon for the first time here....lol

Will let you know when I have the P5 on hand.

Haha, I was using the SP-6, so mine is Xenon 4 (4V), so it is not as bright, but good to use in the wood. You are using 2x18650? or 3 rc123?
Remeber to use the twist tailcap, 2x18650 would be 3A, the clicky tailcap is rated max 2A.

My 2x18650 20W Xenon is really good. You will love Xenon, when you outdoor only.

For SP-9, you can usr 2 pieces of 18500 batteries. If you use 2 x 18650, then you will need to get the extender.

Hi,

I have a new LED Lenser P5 in hand if you guys wanna have a look & test.

Let me know, thanks

Hi guys,
New shipment of EagleTac flashlights has arrived
This includes the neutral white P100 and T100 models

Guys...need help with my paracord here...
How to get the inner 'intestines' back into the green sheath..?



And jst to show off my P100A2 with my USMC Service Support Group..

Here goes my hard earned money.

I did a quick google but didn't manage to get a proper spec yet. Is it gel based or like spray based? Gel based is better for the o-rings, it'll last longer. Spray based will have faster evaporation. After a few turns, the o-rings can dry up. Also read the instructions if it's safe on rubber and such. (Although o-rings are not entirely made of rubber). Silicone/Teflon grease should be generally safe.

65lm seems to be a balance I guess. I find the LD10 9lm is already bright enuf with night adapted eyes, being indoors.

Btw, found this cool beamshot review: LED Lenser P5 beamshots. I am surprised with the flood and spot focus, the beam is so clean! Check it out!


Hi Sthon, do include your sale thread link and blog in your signature. That way new people can see what you're selling

Added on October 7, 2009, 3:47 pmEr, can't advice much on this one, the 'intestines' are twisted inside the cover usually. Just 2 suggestion (at your own risk ):
1) You might wanna slit off the cover fully, twist the intestines, shove it inside and sew the cover together or
2) use a tweezer and shove it all inside, the sew them.
Well, you might end up with a bulge..

OOPS, i left this part blank wanted to say this is a nice pic and with intricate designs

You will need to open the cord-end, possibly cut a little bit of opening, and then pull the inner strands. The tweezer will comes in handy for this.

Ok the promised beam shots on LF SP6, (no time to upload)

Camera settings:
1/15, F1.8 ISO 200, Sun White Balance, distance about 4m

FYI: the photo is somewhat not accurate to compare as good as the naked eyes. For example, sometimes using Xenon appeared too dark in photo, but it was well illuminated in real world with eyes. Guess the eye and camera not work 100% the same, especially the size of the spot is different.

The order is
Lumens Factory SP6 3 Mode LED 3.7V
Fenix PD30
Surefire E2D L Defender
47 123^2 Neutral White
Aurora SSC P7
Lumens Factory SP6 Xenon 4 (190lm)
20W Xenon (600lm)!!

Overall:
The SP6 is very tight in hot spot, good thrower, but still not able to beat Jetbeam RRT2 yet.
When using the Xenon 4, maybe because of the wattage in 1 cell 18650, the output is not very high, but good enough to lite in the wood, but not really great thrower.
the Surefire has very wide hotspot, but throw equally well.
Fenix PD30 is average shinning the green leafs, nothing to shout about.
47 123^2 gives good average illumination in outdoor due to the Neutral White.
Aurora SSC P7 is very broad wide flood light, so it appear not bright in photo, but in building, it really rocks.



I have another set, will upload soon.

Hey, very nice beamshots comparison

The SP6 xenon seems to have a wider hotspot than its LED?

I noticed the SP6 LED looks as tight as the Fenix TA21 (compared with my Quark AA at 4m using your pictures as sample). And the Aurora have a very nice floody beam

Yes, I think it is because the bigger head (reflector). The SP6 uses D26 size drop in, which is the surefire standard P60 size, which has a bigger head than the 4Sevens. And I really like the look if the TA21, looks so cool.

Here go another set, with Jetbeam RRT2

Camera settings:
1/60, F1.8 ISO 800, Sun White Balance, distance about 8m

This time the order sorted by the brightest of HOTSPOT by my eyes from Top:
Jetbeam RRT2 (Winner, it has the biggest head/reflector, and focusable beam make the tight hotspot very bright)
Surefire E2DL (Not bad, wide hotspot but still very bright, just too expenseive)
Lumens Factory SP6 3 Mode LED (Cree XR-E, R2 LED) (tight hot spot, that is why it is good thrower)
Fenix PD30 (Good throw in medium distance, considered its size, it is actually very good)
4Sevens 123^2 Neutral White (It is actually not bad, but it looks dimmed in photo)
Aurora SSC P7 (It has very wide beam, so it looks bright, but the hotspot is not as bright)
Lumens Factory SP6 Xenon EO-4 (3.7V, 190 Lumens) (I have to adjust abit the picture, my camera just don't capture light from Xenon well)

This order is really subjective, but the photo really cannot 100% tell you everything.

I should have the 20W Xenon to compare, but that night really not convenient, my sons keep kacau me.


ps : just added the Philips 20W Xenon , it just dominating. It should be in the Top, but I added it last , just took the shot 6 days later.

bro susuman....the xenon really performed well in outdoor ! and thanks for the excellent beamshot

just changed my mind and ordered SP-6 (3 mode LED) kit and the xenon EO-4 instead....really appreciate bro Philightsophy for accommodating my last minute changes....

opss...here's the pic of the silicon grease i mentioned earlier...





it's a transparent gel type....this is the only gel lube i can find locally here....i almost buy the nyogel from lighthound but the high shipping cost turn me down.....

is this a good lube? i was thinking to use only 1 type of lube because i do sometime lego some of the light i have without having fear of bad lube mixture....this whole jar can last me till a very long period...

It looks ok, mine is silicon grease also, but much thinner, and very transparent. This silicon gel looks tick, perfect for lubing the O ring and thread. Which ACE shop you bought it? How much is it, mind to help me buy one? I rarely goto ACE.
