The thicker MCPCB probably won’t be an issue. I haven’t tried it, but it seems like the worst case would be maybe using a thinner O-ring or not tightening the bezel quite as far.
Richard, I received my D4 and a bunch of other stuff and I wanted to thank you for the way you pack the mailer bags. My deep pocket clips were secured and taped to a piece of foam so they arrived intact and without scratching everything else all to hell. I also appreciated the tape on the 18650 cells. Wouldn’t like them to wiggle loose in transit! It makes me happy to buy from someone who cares and goes the extra mile. Thanks! :+1:
About my D4, yeah, it isn’t set up with the new UI, but after playing with it for a bit, I really like it. I added the deep pocket clip and can’t wait to take the pooches out for a short walk tonight. I’ve just got to make sure I don’t accidentally blind them! :cry:
The skunk that’s been hanging around lately, well that’s another story… :smiling_imp:
Also, for those of you who were interested in the HaikeLite MT01/MT02, we have them in stock now. They are pretty beefy lights---definitely not thin machining on these. Drivers are good quality and have a simple UI.
Either online at onlinemetals.com or I got to a local machine shop. The machine shop is usually cheaper as they don’t have agressive shipping charges, they do charge bases on time to cut the bar to length from a larger rod of stock. I’ve also found that the machine shop generally won’t have copper or tellurium copper, so the choices may be more limited.
If you’re lucky you can get a small shop that has ends that they have on hand but don’t use because they’re too small for many of the projects they get in, then you can just a piece based on the price of it and since they buy larger rods for stock they get lower prices.
Richard, is this the same driver that came with the D4 v1? I have a v1 and I’d like to change to v2 if possible. I don’t mind getting the same driver with v2 firmware and replace it.
You can swap the MCPCBs directly, with NO SPACER required. I had read some comments stating that a spacer is necessary, but doing the measurements and actually building some lights with the MTN Quad MCPCB it works fine without any extra spacer needed.
Could I put 4 XP-E2 Green emitters on your board and run em on the FET or would I have to reduce direct drive through PWM to keep from smoking the emitters like I did the Lee Filter I tried?
Maybe use the 18350 tube and a lesser cell to keep max current in check?
It can't be the capacitor. Maybe we flashed it with the wrong firmware or something because there is not OTC on that 15mm 7135 board, so the capacitor will not affect the memory.
