I know it *should be* a 1W LS with 30mm optics but it gives my Lambda 5W LS SE a little run for its money!

Maybe Wayne sent me a 5W instead? I'm not sure...I will post comparison pictures in about 10 minutes and you be the judge.

Lemme just say, as most of you already know, the Elektrolumens Blaster II is first-rate. Fit and finish are flawless. It's an OEM quality flashlight for sure. I am extremely impressed and I don't get impressed very easily.

Kudos to Wayne/Elektrolumens!

I agree, just recieved mine today, and this puts an end to my M*g night sticks. Although larger than most lights discussed here, the run time and output make it my #1 replacement for the M products so many outside cpf favour.

I think Wayne has elevated the 1W to a significant new level with the new optics.

Is it reasonable to assume that there is very little if anything else that can be done to a 1 watt Luxeon that would be 'better' than Waynes new Blaster II? I can't wait until mine arrives!
CPF Member: S4MadMan:

I just did a test with my new Lutron LightMeter. I went to the bathroom, turned off the lights and I measured the Lux from ~1 meter away, here are my readings:

-Lambda 5Watt LS: 4,500 Lux (Max)

-Elektrolumens Blaster II: 2,600 Lux (Maxx)

So yes, Lambda's 5 watt is still much brighter but the Blaster II, for a 1 Watt LS, it's DAMN impressive!

Hi Wayne, Received the black Blaster II yesterday. It is very nice. You sure put out a quality product! The flashlight body is a marvel of quality. My compliments to you my friend and it was a pleasure doing business with you. Oh yeah, if the switch ever wears out do you sell spares? Thanks again Wayne...Gene

(The answer to Gene's question about switches is, yes, I do.)

Thanks again, Frank

Comments by Paul:

Hi Wayne,

Have received my torch and it is a far cry from the mag torches I have even the one with a Halogen bulb in it!

I might be able to get some orders from my work mates.

Thanks,
Paul
Comments by Wayne (not me):

(Wayne purchased some 30mm optics, and put them in some of his own flashlights.)

Wayne,

Thanks for the quick shipment.

I can tell you this. I haven't been too impressed with the D size flashlights, but, with the 30mm optics makes one killer light. I really like this. I saw the beams posted on CPF and you did a great job.

The beam is excellent. The hot spot is very even and the side spill is about twice the size of the hotspot.

Looking from the side, I can only see some reflections of light from the inner ball type optics which doesn't appear to be a ball shape like the NX05.

It fit in my 2D3C flashlight with bare LS/O version that I did early on. WOW!

This is very impressive.

Wayne

Aeryk purchased a Blaster II from me.

The mail man just dropped off my Blaster II

Simply awesome stuff...the machining is perfect, Ive never had a light this well made...not even my old trusty Mag was this well machined.

Brightness is great from what I can tell so far, cant wait till it gets dark out so I can really check it out, color is great, by far the whitest flashlight I have ever owned, Its my first luxeon, so I cant really compare it to much...its much whiter than my freinds Inova X5T white, which has a rather bluish tint to it, and way whiter than my standard mag with its yellow tint.

Awesome stuff, Im definately glad I bought it. I'll try to grab a few shots of it tonight once the sun goes down
