Yep testing finally finished today and we're very happy with new lightweight Maxtoch 2X. It is an absolute ripper!
This new model 2X is not just about a maximum lux (output) reading. We thoroughly tested various board/led setups and rejected some setups with higher lux but lower runtimes, wrong hunter tints, high output but inability to retain that output more than 2-3 minutes before stepdown to a lower mode etc.
In this new Maxtoch model we have gone for a very high level of overall hunter functionality. It has light weight (just 308gms), ideal beam type (flood plus very tight centre spot), ideal tint for optimum picture clarity downrange, mode outputs set for different hunter tasks, runtime choices, extreme range (round 1.2 kilometers), scope mounting plus handheld function, all mode memory, design to use standard 25mm rings, production quality, sub $100US price etc.
Very happy with this light - maybe a month or perhaps two max before its available. The led and board will also slot straight into the present M24 Sniper and upgrade that to 300k lux - brilliant little hunter.
