New led at Fasttech??

[grainde]

Ive just ordered this, as the wavelength looks rather interesting! Might be a cheaper alternative for those wanting a multimode yellow! lol

Will update once it arrives with some pics.:beer:

Interesting. Want to see what the color actually looks like.

Hi Pete, just did some searching and it may look something like these pics:

Not sure if it will be more 589 or 594.5? :beer:

They claim it is a 595nm light, but at 1 amp it is very dim at 62 lm. Seems the LED is as efficient as the DPSSLs are.

You're wrong about that. But you're also right :thinking:

"LUMENS (MAX) 62 LM"
"Minimum Luminous Flux(lm): 56.8lm @ 350 mA"
"Maximum light output: 309lm @ 1A"

This indicates to me they copypasted from somewhere, and don't really know what they're selling.

Ok as it turned into a mini build thread, I posted the new flashlight here.

Its a very cheap and fun build and links to the parts can be found at the bottom of the OP. :beer:
