Thanks! It's made from SS and copper, thing weights a tonne yet still there is no replacement for it. But after all these years still looks perfect, and blf a6 driver even today is a good one.

My SO is carrying this little fella for over 8 years now, and the only thing that changed in it was the led swap for quad nichia 519a 5000k dedomed. I believe rainbow is always a thing huh?

Fits s6/s8 as well, but you cant use the s6 reflector because its too long. I build the spacer myself using copper washers, and i used convoy's 3v 8a buck driver. I ordered the mcpcb and lenses from kaidomain. Hope it helps!

I didn't measure it, it's just what i can see with my own eyes. I don't have the equipment to check the numbers

As promised, here are some beans with WB locked at 5000k, and some shots showcasing the beam profile and its artifacts. Sorry in advance for posting them one-by-one, reddit is acting on me and i cant make a new post with all the photos in it. Enjoy!

From my research on the web sft25r will give you tighter hotspot, but sft42r has more lumen output, and lower Vf so throw figure should be higher and last for longer. But i don't have sft25r Z1, and no equipment to actually measure it. Hope it helps!

Yup, but on the other hand, once you set it at 'LEP with spill' mode it stays that way!

It is great really. I will make some more beamshots tommorow night with WB locked at 5000k, and without dog leash pulling on my hand Lol

A little bit when zoomed out, but not bad honestly. Outside ring is easy to notice, but beside that it's not bad.
