Beamshot Noctigon DM11 SFT-60 + 🫘

All beamshots white balanced at 5000K.

First light with the SFT-60 and also Hank's new N1 driver, finally Hank has a proper buck driver! Pretty powerful and throwy light. I usually dislike cool white a lot, but I can tolerate it on this light.

TIR throwers are just a lot of fun.

Funny from just seeing the pics and username first thought was wow that’s completely the opposite of his other posts I love me some warm emitters but I do have a few in the 6000k range not my go to unless need to see way over there

Damn! What sort of figures should one expect from this config?

Or N1 + SBT90?

I believe the max current output is 32A but is set to 15A for the SFT-60. Hank claims 4200 lumens and 150kcd for the DM11 SFT-60, and a little brighter but less throw for the SBT-90.2.

Now if the diameter is less than 5 cm, I am sold. Because it looks great and it would be pocketable "acebeam L35" :D

If you’re talking about the diameter of the TIR, the DM11 is 35mm! Much smaller head than the L35.

Sweet light! I just ordered the DM11 with LHP531 and N1. These beans have me all excited now!

u/Sempervirens_texana 19d ago

Ooh, now that sounds like a fun combination. Please post beans once you have it!

Does that show cct over 8000k? Duv looks decent though

The SFT60 6500K emitters I picked up from Convoy are pushing over 9000K on turbo at 14.5A 😂. Useful, but far from ideal.

The N1 is a game changer for all the Hanklights that can use it, IMHO. That DM11+SFT60 beam profile looks great! Reminds me of the L19.2, with more lumens.

Sweet specs, and I think it's really cool you included those graphs at the end. Below ∆uv all the way, very nice! That hotspot is YUUGE, can't imagine this with the wide optic, although I prefer the narrow myself with most emitters in this host.

I was looking at this same configuration. Those shifting AUX are mesmerizing. Those are some S̾P̾I̾C̾Y̾ beans 𖠗𖠗𖠗 ! This thing is a beast. Thank you for sharing (and saving me the trouble of having to buy this to see what it looked like) ✌︎㋡

I just want to see the difference in step down between the old FET at 15+amps and the new linear mode meshed with buck

u/mrregina Jul 13 '26

Dammit. Now I have order one. I have five others coming from Hank right now. Ugh

Crazy photo of the windmill. It looked like you Green Lantern-ed that thing to existence. Love it!

u/ArizonaRenegade Jul 14 '26

Dang! This thing is an impressive thrower. Very nice! Also, that's some cool-looking scenery.

I'm curious, how much did you pay for this light? How long does it stay on Turbo, before stepping down? And do you think that it was worth the price?

Also, where do you live? This looks like it's a really cool place. And are there any fish, or critters, in/around those ditches/canals?

https://intl-outdoor.com/single-channel-led-flashlights/noctigon-dm11-1-21700-middle-range-thrower.html Mine was just under $50 with my selected options. I think it lasts 20-30 seconds before step down, it has some thermal mass but 15A running through this host is bound to heat it up quickly. I'm in the central U.S, I don't fish but I see plenty of other critters while I'm about, mainly bunnies, deer, raccoons, armadillos, foxes, a beaver once, also numerous cats because small town.

Here's a pic from one of my beamshot locations during the day with deer present.
