Flashlight Review - Tiablo A10 R2 WC

[erns]

The SMO reflector can fit with the MCE but the hot spot has a hole in it.


Left, ACE MCE reflector, Right, A10 R2 reflector (The MCE reflector has a smaller opening). ACE Reflector diameter for MCE 6.92mm. A10 Reflector diameter for R2 6.96mm.

Since the MCE opening on the OP reflector is smaller the SMO should work.

I stepped down the exposue to show how the hot spot looks like. I had to shoot the beam shot this way because this is the closest the hole in the hot spot looks like. In real life the hot spot is much brighter and there is much more side spill.

I took a lux reading with the Tiablo ACE using a SMO reflector.


Tiablo ACE SMO - 19,285 lux @ 1 meter


It's bright but the hole in beam shot is annoying.

Note the hole in the beam shots.

That is why the OP reflector is needed.
