MRV's optical update : 16-May-2007

Refer to MRV's reflector design, we do make bit changes at focus point.

So, the hotspot will be a bit larger that the ES (Engineering Sample) and offer more side spills.
The ES's hotspot is smaller than that of D-Mini, but now larger in size.

The Total output remains unchange unless newer offer from LED supplier.

On the other hand, the 1 meter Lux reading will then decrease to 10,000 plus.
This results the maxium throw decrease with 2-5 meters.

Thanks and best rgds.

[matrixshaman]

What is the difference between the tactical switch and the clicky switch? Is one a momentary on with latching upon pushing harder (not a reverse clicky) or just momentary? Throw and tail design look great!

[StefanFS]

PayPal sent for one MRV. Will be just in time for my birthday (hopefully).

Sweet, does this use your new tailcap design?
Do we have until the 10th to pre-pay?

[westfork]

WOW! Those are some serious increases in the light output over the M1 and D-Mini.

[martonic]

:rant: Something else to take my money! Man I`m soooo weak willed...:awman:

[RdlyLite]

OMG!!!

Damn you, Mr. Tsang!

Do you realize i have a selfimposed light embargo until the second week of May?!?? I just might have to get sneaky with this one...LOL. Shhhh... don't tell my GF!

[wojtek_pl]

Any chances for OP reflector ? Is clicky switch one step or two step ?

[luigi]

Is the color silver or black or both?

BatteryJunction.com's MRV pre-order link is up! $107.95 introductory price is $102.55 after CPF coupon code cpf2006!! - Click here. (http://www.batteryjunction.com/lumapower-mrv.html)

Coupon MUST be used at time of order.

-Introductory offer goes away on 5/10 when the light begins shipping.

-All production units will be natural Type III Hard Anodizing (dark gray) like the M1 and M3.

-Tactical clicky, OP reflector and holster will come later.

-The high/low is controlled by an internal switch on the pill - you turn the pill section to adjust output - just like an M3 for those familiar with that switching system.

[Daekar]

*dribble*

What kind of runtime are we looking at on high? 60-90 minutes with a decent 18650?
How about output on low? in lumens? From the lux chart it looks like about 90-100...?
I assume the "tactical switch" is like the one on the M1?

If it works with 2xRCR123A, that means it works with 2x18650... I hope the body is compatible with the DX1 so we can swap for more runtime. Or heck even better, just release a new DX1 with this emitter/engine/bigger reflector...

[MattK]

I'd guesstimate over 2 hours on high with an 18650 - perhaps as much as 3hrs.

Low is driven at 400ma so I'd estimate ~80L at the emitter.

The tactical click, which will be an accessory later, will be a true forward tactical - halfpress for momentary, full click for constant. The included switches are a momentary-on when pressed and constant-on when turned and a single stage reverse clicky.

[Daekar]

Doggonnit Matt, you've gone and convinced me! *goes and checks checking account for sufficient funds* - I'm in! :sold:

[MattK]

You won't have any regrets - I'm still kinda giddy when I play with it. :)

[whc]

Any date for the OP-Reflector???

[MattK]

Soon. :)

[AlexGT]

Matt do you have a pic of the dissasembled light?, head, body tailcap, reflector? What tint and bin are the leds? are any of the pieces compatible with other lumapower lights? Any chance of a lower low? like 50-100 ma? Thanks foir the special price, will order one as soon as I have some cash around 5/1



AlexGT

[dig-it]

You won't have any regrets - I'm still kinda giddy when I play with it. :)
OK Matt, I just ordered. Don`t make me hunt you down and blind you with my Arc-P.

[Daekar]

And to respond to my own post above, apparently there is an "RV" version of the DX1 planned. Those of you who want it all, buy one of these and then one of those... :)

[MattK]

Alex - No, but I'll try and take some later this week. They're P4's, not sure what color bin. No cross compatability I'm aware of except perhaps the switch internals - but frankly I haven't taken the switch apart yet. No lower low nor would I expect one on this light - I'd say low is in the 80-90L range and high is 210 according to Ricky/spec.

Daekar, dig-it and everyone else who has already ordered - thanks for your support. I cannot wait to see your posts when you start getting your lights. :)

[jay33t]

Ok MattK, :paypal: for one :grin2:

[BeagleLight]

:paypal: for 1 MRV

[daveman]

@ Lumapower:
You should contact Quickbeam to see if he would be willing to review your new light. Since you're selling this as a thrower, Quickbeam's consistent lux chart would do more to demonstrate MRV's "punch" against other lights than any other reviewer. :)

[AlexGT]

I agree, Quickbeam should review it as he did the M1 that got 5 stars, I think he would be interested.

AlexGT

[funder]

Can you post some front view(window side) of the light? what's the depth(height) of its reflector?

[frosty]

Is this going to be regulated? I got the impression from other Lumapower products that the discharge curve is less than flat.

[BMRSEB]

So, according to LumaPower's first post spec sheet, it seems to be brightest on "regular" CR123's, correct"? But, for longest runtime 18650's.

That's great, as I really don't want to invest in another charger and more rechargeable batteries, I have lots of CR123's. Corrrect me if I'm wrong Ricky, MattK, etc.

[MattK]

You're right - like the M1 it will be brightest on CR123A's but with longer run time on a single 18650.

[SL230]

:paypal: for one MRV.

[nein166]

In the first post it says the Battery Sources acceptable include 2xRCR123As

If this is correct why aren't Lux Readings for this option reflected in the chart?

Can the buck circuit handle 8.4v, or is it a buck/boost?

That's exactly my question too. What about for the M1 too? Is 2xCR123A's OK?

[The Voice of Reason]

Hi Matt,

What kind of airmail shipping costs can we expect to Australia?

[MattK]

Ricky should have an answer regarding the 2 3.7V RCR123A's shortly for us.

Shipping to Australia is $23 via Airmail.

[LowTEC]

Will there be a Type2 silver version like a D-mini?

[lumapower]

Hi friends,

Thank you for supporting our products.

I will back to office at this weekend, and more spec. will then be post soon.

Thanks for ordering MRV, all pre-order will be reply at this Saturday.

Best rgds.

Ricky - Lumapower Team

[MattK]

I doubt it - the HA III is consistent with the 'mission' of the product. Ultimately if there was enough demand of course LP would make it but I would not count on it.

Will there be a Type2 silver version like a D-mini?

[Abumustafa]

So I guess we wont have the MRV in black then Ricky, i am not a fan of silver :sssh: if you do have black i will have 1!!!

:popcorn:

[MattK]

The MRV's won't be silver - they'll be finished in type 3 HA natural - dark gray like the M1's.

[Cuso]

Damn it!! Another Lumakiller!!??:drool: Man Im gonna have to sell some stuff....:ohgeez:

[lasercrazy]

Wow. Looks really nice but no pocket/belt clip. :(

[orbital]

.

Whoa,..... if this light isn't a candidate for a free "Keep On Truckin" bumper sticker, then nothin is!!

Are these numbers for real?

[TigerhawkT3]

How does this new MRV compare to the occasionally-mentioned DX1-RV or DX2-RV? Will the MRV be offered later with the forward clickie included?

[MattK]

lasercrazy - The reflector is too big for it to be a pocket clipable light.

orbital - Yes. It's absurdly bright. The throw is just unreal.

TigerhawkT3 - Possibly - it will definitely be an accessory and should be available in less than 60 days. A holster and OP reflector are also in devlopment as accessories.

[lasercrazy]

Not for a bezel down clip it isn't.


lasercrazy - The reflector is too big for it to be a pocket clipable light.

[LowTEC]

I want to see the Striker vs MRV comparison before I make the decision :popcorn:

[Ty_Bower]

Can someone with an engineering sample take a picture of it next to a Mag 2C light, or a Surefire U2? I want to see how big this thing really is.

According to the specs, it's 6.3 inch long and has a bezel diameter of 1.77 inches. That's a bit larger than a Surefire U2, which is 6.13 inch and 1.47 inch.
