I have several different versions of this light for sale.
All have had all the sealing Orings replaced for better quailty ones.
They all now use 2 18650 Li Ion cells ( run times quoted based on 2500mah cells)
All LEDs and electronics have been replaced.
This pic shows the W200 compared to the IST
W200/R2 Aspheric. As the name suggests it uses a Cree R2 LED and an aspheric lens. The entire beam is concentrated in the hotspot. There is next to no spill at all. This works really well for low viz conditions and signalling. Burn time is about 4 hours at full power before it will turn off with no warning. I can also set this up so it has a much tighter brighter beam of about 5.7 degrees.
W200/R2 Aspheric @ 5.7 degree focus
W200/R2 reflector . Same as above but uses a reflector instead of aspheric lens. The hot spot is smaller and slightly brighter and there is also some spill light.
W200/P7 or W200/MC-E This one uses a quad die LED. Either Cree MC-E or SSC P7. Hot spot is much larger than the R2 reflector and there is brighter spill light. As with most multi die LEDs there is a slight dark spot in the centre. This is not noticable underwater. It has 3 power levels 100%,50% 10%. Run time on high is 1.5 hours.
For comparison purposes below is a pic of a DR fixed focus 10wHID. It uses a Welch Allyn "6degree" bulb but in reality the beam is much wider.
All pics were taken on a Canon G10 ISO 80, 1/30sec, f2.8
Cost
W200/R2 $300NZ
W200/MC-E or P7 $380NZ
Shipping is $15NZ or $50NZ tracked.
Batteries and charger can be brought from DX who offer free shipping.
