Lumen Max Elite

[Eric F]

This is the New Lumen Max Elite that from Sunlight Supply. I will be conducting a Beta Test. To compare it to other reflector on the market. The reflector is 15L x 15W x 5H. Heres the first pictures.

I someone has a par meter and some free time. Let me know. I can pay you.

Also if you want to see in person please contact me.


And yes these images are from RC

So far it has smashed the Lumen Bright. I going to test it vs the lumenarc tonight.

Some benefits I have noticed so far:
1) Only 5 inches hight. Helps fit into smaller canopies.
2) mounting plate to allow you to clean your reflector easier
3) Very even light distribution
4) mogul wire comes out the bottom. makes for easier mounting.

Also the white parts will be black on final product.

good thing I waited..phew...How much do these retail?

[Retzius]

I can't wait either as I am using the lumernarc mini. Let us know Eric.

[Eric F]

They will be more than the lumenarc. But not by much

Nice little product, thanks for the review Eric. Looks to be a smaller, better built version of the old school Lumen Max (which is still my favorite reflector). Love the white frame on top, excellent design.

Saw it in person @ Eric's. With the naked eye you could see more light spread and light concentration over the lumenarc. I've seen some test results and it supposed to be almost 3x better that the lumenarc.

Just a heads up guys...
I already talked to Eric, I'm first in line to get a couple of these bad boys.

I will be doing my own measurement this weekend.


I put it next to the lumenarc, and a very noticeable difference in light output.

I will also post pictures

[SolRo]

might want to set it up so we can measure the offcenter light output, the readings dead center don't say too much about how well the light is spread out.

Okay, quit playing with my emotions Eric. I want 3 of these, when will you have them? Prototype shmototype... Give us our fix.

[Fishaholic]

Give us our fix.

for real

[Eric F]

Everything is looking good so far. Solro is coming tomorrow to do par testing. But everyone that has seen it can tell a big difference.

They might been releasing it the 1st of April.

I already has some on order. So contact me if you wanted added to the list.
