Hi,
I have a lot of LED flashlights, but only one LED dive light.
I have the AE Light W30 (now called the AE Lifelight) and it's a great light. It seems to be modeled after your light. Do you manufacter them for AE Light here in the USA?
They say the W30 is 300 lumens. I know you guys don't use that for comparisons.
Here, in the USA if a light has a 12 degree lens and 300 lumens, it can be compare reasonably to another light with 10-15 degree lens and such and such lumens. Granted, it's not science and it's subjective, but it is a general comparison and has worked pretty well so far for me.
If I hear 300 lumen and 200 lumen I have a good idea which ones is brighter. Now I can go into the store and ask to test both lights before I buy one.
Anyway, I ask because you came out with the W40, and it's brighter than the W30 then they might be also getting a new light, and I'll hold off on a new purchase until it comes here.
The W30 (AE Lifelight) here has a Cree Q5 LED in it.
What LED does your W30 have in it?
What has changed in the W40 to maked it that much brighter than the W30?
What type of LED does the W40 now have?
Will the W30 be discontinued?
Sorry for all the questions...it's not that often that I find a manufacturer on a forum answering questions.
Last one...Does the W30 and/or W40 have a regulator board inside or are they direct drive.
