Just a little update
2 more heads built slightly heavier diameter up to 41.5mm from 40mm
head is now 8mm longer shelf now 10mm thick and another 3mm of thread
in the driver battery tube area
bit to do yet and i’m adding a quad to the mix/
series.so it will be 3x3+ a 4 all jammed into a 42mm dia head.
will have to trim the reflector a tad and perhaps tighten the thread pitch
and then we may see how good the blf drivers from bangood are…
slightly bigger than the first one
the blf driver is doing some strange things when trying to take a tailcap reading it flickers and goes back to low instead of the 4th mode
but works fine with the cap fitted,
Ok, I'm late to the party, but is it just me or.. that beam shot is amazing. Take a look at that pic again and think bicycling. Maybe I should quit messing with xm-l2's.
but yes triples ect put out a whole lot of light,i will take a pic on med level when next home
as I am sure you wont want to run at 6a for bike riding…
“PP we all want to see a build from you and your machine”
It's not the amount of light I'm talking about. I've got a quad xm-l2 setup. My point is just that pattern. Maybe it's just the way the photo came out, but that seems like a really nice beam profile.
I might have to buy the quad version and see about getting my wires out of the way of it. It may just not work out the same with a bigger emitter though.
Of course none of this relates much to the great handiwork on this host.
