This light has been reserved for this testing. For this test, I think the Turbo and the OKW are about equal, and that’s an astonishing thing to say.įor this test, I opened up a brand new, recently delivered X300U-B.
The Turbo on the other hand ramps up, and by 30 second in, it is the highest candela light. The OKW starts off as the highest candela light, but it’s dropping immediately. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t have its uses (see below), but in the modern era of high candela lights, the X300T, the OKW, and the PLHv2 are the better performers. If I want candela, and I do, then the X300U is out of the race here. We start by comparing candela of the 4 sample lights:
The next comparison is the Modlite PL-350.
X300u candela upgrade#
Most people want to know whether they should upgrade their “U-Boat” to this new light (“T-Boat?”) The first obvious point of comparison is the X300U.Ok, so all the geeky data above is great, but what I really want to know is how does the light compare? First, let’s select the competition. If the light doesn’t put the color onto the target, your eyes won’t see that color. CRI measures how well the light puts out -all- the spectrum of light. It’s interesting that this is light No 3, which had the highest candela rating and was among the top in the lumen chart.Īll of these lights were below 70 CRI Ra. 3 of these lights were 6300k+, and one was about 5900k, which is (in my opinion) better. My personal preference is temperature in the 5500k range. You can see only -slight- color temperature differences. The X300 Turbo uses 2 of the CR123A batteries, just like the X300U CandelaĪs usual, we measure candela on our test fixture, and we have standardized on testing both instantaneous max (right when you turn on the light), and on testing after 30 seconds of runtime, which approximates the ANSI/PLATO FL-1 spec.Īll 4 of our X300T Samples Performed Similarly. Let’s see if the newest Surefire can beat the top pistol light from Modlite. I’m going to take a look at 4 of the lights, see how they perform, then compare a medium performer X300T to the X300U, as well as the Modlite PL-350 with both the OKW and PLHv2 heads. At 66k candela, it should be competitive with some of the best lights on the market. Now Surefire has released the X300 Turbo, and it appears to be a powerhouse. However, we recently declared the X300U was overthrown.
