Would love for there to be a smaller version of this that thermal compounds to a copper spacer soldered to the MCPCB. Or just straight to an extra thick mcpcb that sits on a shelf that thermally conducts the body so that it cools off the LEDs as well as the head/handle. The fan/radiator would be integrated into the head aesthetically and it could be modular where it unscrews from the head so you could replace the pump. It could be made stealthy so that you wouldn’t see any pipes and wouldn’t know it was water cooled. That would be amazing, think of the runtimes!
There are ways to do miniaturized water cooling involving small fans and aluminum tubing. Think, high performance cpu cooling.
It would be impossible to retrofit though. The tubing would have to be manufactured structurally into the mounting plate of the LEDs and possibly into the body to save space.
I don’t know what sort of space is used for cooling in the design of the DX80, but I’m guessing it could be accomplished in about an inch of head/body tube space. Would involve a small fan and tiny radiator, and some venting. Natural heat driven fluid circulation.
Would probably drive the price up another $100, though.
Oh well, Gearbest just listed this light as well. With discount code “DX80” they’re selling it for $220 or 190 Euro. Pfff, what a great price… And that’s with 8 pieces of their protected Samsung 30Q batteries…
I do hope that they will add a spare driver in that box The heat caused will fry the default one in no time, my DT70 died after only like 10 hours of moderate usage( driver fried)
