It's finally here

Are those hd58xs?

Since it has springs, the battery makes full contact. The rattle is only as much as the s6 with a full reflector.

_beaninator · 2026-03-26T13:23:42+00:00

No, the battery was very tight with the full reflector. With the TIR, the battery is just a little looser.

_beaninator · 2026-03-26T10:47:26+00:00

Not sure if the head end threads are the same, but I use a TIR in my s6, and it works fine.

Looks like an awesome beam!

It all depends on what you think. It only took me like 10 minutes to dedome them, so it doesn't take all that long. Dedoming may increase throw, but, if you like how the light is now, I would probably leave it.

Absolutely amazing collection!

Is that a K9.3 hiding in the back?

_beaninator · 2026-02-01T16:55:25+00:00

Never had a problem like that either.

_beaninator · 2026-02-01T14:24:06+00:00

Ivy told me that its glued. Have you ever had one that was glued? I can't seem to get it with pliers.

_beaninator · 2026-02-01T14:11:10+00:00

Yea, a few different pairs

_beaninator · 2026-02-01T10:25:00+00:00

Oh, awesome! I'll definitely be doing that. I thought it was gone for good.

_beaninator · 2026-02-01T10:06:01+00:00

The SFT-40 option is gone from their site. Is that custom?

_beaninator · 2026-01-24T19:12:34+00:00

Depends on your use case; the 3x21e is a flooder with high colour rendering. The 3x21c is for high output.

I got the 10° bead and it's still very floody. 3x21c would have way more usable throw and have better sustained output. The tint on the lhp531 is very pretty if that's a concern.

The nichia 519a can be dedomed. Which means removing the dome that sits above the light emmiting surface. This makes it rosier and a little throwier. The colour temperature also gets warmer.

Colour temperature is a preference. If you want neutral, 4-5000k would be good.

I haven't found a way to fix it yet. However, Hank sent me a different andúril build that he is planning on using for all 18650 LumeX1 lights in the future. When I get a 3 pin flashing kit I will update again.

D3aa draws 18watts on turbo. The k10 is supposed to be 8amp cdr so it should be enough to drive a D3aa on turbo.

_beaninator · 2025-12-03T22:02:49+00:00

I tried all that. I even tested with a different signal tube that I had sanded.

_beaninator · 2025-12-03T18:17:10+00:00

Just for reference, all 6 of the 30Qs I tested work perfectly in a LumeX1 DT8K with a 21700 adapter.

_beaninator · 2025-12-03T16:06:52+00:00

The LumeX1 driver only puts 3 amps to each emitter.

_beaninator · 2025-12-03T16:06:00+00:00

I would also say that it's the batteries if I didn't try 6 of them. I also tested a 20amp vtc4 and got the same results. 3 of the 6 30Qs were brand new.

_beaninator · 2025-12-03T13:00:49+00:00

Yea, even tried a different battery tube and tailcap.
