Yes, stock reflector but i might be wrong about the current because it is direct driven, no driver at all, so it might be higher. At the time of the test i had three 25R’’s in it, ive seen that same led pull just over 5A from a single cell, so with 3 in parallel there might be a bit more juice delivered to the led.
My TM16 is making 109.75Kcd, essentially stock… I didn’t change anything on the driver, still has the NW (on the warm side of NW) emitters, but I used 18ga Turnigy leads throughout, in place of the 20ga they used.
So I’d say you’re in the ballpark.
I’m using fresh charged LG HE-2 Button Tops.
Direct Drive for Turbo? Where does that info come from? I see an R010 sense resistor on the driver… mine tests out at a bit over 4100 lumens.
Lol…you made someone a very happy camper though. You were able to spread your joy elsewhere. My edc has been the X5 since I received it and it probably will be for a long time.
I need to tweak mine. It was such a pain for me to mod it when I finally got it all together and properly centered I just left it. Low 200kcd’s iirc. Really disappointing for a FET XPL-HI in a Courui D01.
I recharged the batteries completely in these 5 and measured again. The only other change was that I removed a rather tall centering ring from the Courui, but it didn’t make much difference. It was one of my earliest mods, and I have a feeling I just need to completely rebuild and update it. Any tips on where best focus is? Right now the reflector is directly on the mcpcb. Not sure if I need to raise it up more or sand some off the reflector.
Marked improvement in the L2 with a charged cell.
Here are the numbers:
Thanks. It’s a 14mm od x 12mm id carbon fibre tube, i just cut the pieces and epoxied on.
I always felt the S2 was just a bit too thin & slippery - much better now.
