Does it have any sense to try with kapton tape?
I can imagine that a AAA layer can be made thinner than Kapton tape and then, AAA is at least designed to transfer heat better than average, while Kapton tape AFAIK is not designed for heat transfer at all.
I have no clue what AA or AAA stuff is or even why it's being discussed, but before we get to AAAA I thought someone, somewhere might be interested in the MT03 info and mod?
Sorry Tom for ignoring your MT03 work :innocent:
From the beginning Iâm not at all into the Haiklite flashlights (donât like the chunky designs), but considering that it is a rather new brand and seems to be founded by enthousiastic and knowledgable people, it is a pity that they do not have their production method and QC under control. Among the other faults, a ledboard that is not flat on its shelf is an easily avoidable (flattening the shelf should be the very last machining step) and unforgivable blunder because it directly affects the performance in such a high powered light.
XHP70.2âs with that driver is a great update! Waiting for finish and numbers
I've been disappointed with the QC as well coming from them, but I'm lik'n the chunky design more and more. Mass and surface area are the two big issues with high amps, so they got the mass part down pat, as long as I can fix up the other stuff . I have 2 other Haikelite on order, the TK35 and SC01, and planning on getting the MT07S.
What I like bout what I'm seeing is easy modding - nice driver retaining rings, standard size drivers in width and thickness, easy modding for the LED's and battery setups, etc.
Made some SST40 led testing so I ended up with a Convoy C8 with TA17 driver, SST40 N4 BA dedomed led, AR coated glass lens, bypassed springs, 8,6A current in turbo, 2000 lumens, 136 Kcd and 738m throw In a C8 it is insane!
Beamshots Zozz? Sounds like a pretty awesome smallish dazzlerâŚ
I got 3 of those on the way from KD. Those are pretty nice #'s, specially the lumens for a dedomed LED that throws almost as good as the best dedomed XP-G2's, I think. Didn't know you can get that many amps out of one. Might just put them in a SRK. What do you think of the tint after dedoming, and the beam pattern?
Hhmm, for that price, might order a bunch more.
Ohhh - and these are "only" N4 bins. There's 2 higher bins listed in the specs, but who knows if they will ever happen (N5 and P2).
Just a really crap phone pic I have. ISO3200, S: 1/17s, F: 2,20
Dang yâall!
Now I too have an order from KaiDomain⌠where does it ever end? lol
The dedoming wasnât clean as on cree leds but the tint doesnât shifted very much. Overall I like it. And it is cheap.
Which method did you use in the de-doming process?
Upside down on some wires in regular 95 octane petrol. It took 3-4 hours and a bit of picking with a needle and falled down. After that cleaning with alcohol rinse and a needle under magnifying glass.
First attempt at XHP Soup, HOT fluid de-doming (tried 2 different fluids, the second fluid performed better) XHP35âs 50âs and 70âs all meat no veggies!
Brand New $8.00 Garage Sale Crock pot, so far soooooo gooooood!
I have seven SST40âs and a bunch of the W2âs from Kaidomain http://kaidomain.com/p/S026966.Cree-XP-L-HD-W2-1B-White-6000K-6500K-LED-Emitter-1-pc
Along with more top Binned XHP35âs HI E4-1Aâs and Old Style P2-1C 70âs to do nextâŚâŚwith a stronger fluidâŚâŚ
Like most days, I modded code today.
I made sort of a cooperative multitasking toolkit with event callbacks and a finite state machine, to make it easier to create e-switch light UIs.
It works on tiny45 and tiny85, and it should be reasonably easy to add support for other MCUs later. Most of the hardware details are abstracted out to allow interfaces to be portable across different types of drivers.
I call it Spaghetti Monster.
I probably shouldnât be allowed to name things.
You are probably right, you probably shouldnât!
I still go with Bistro miniâŚ.
I giggle a bit whenever I encounter the line which declares âvolatile emissionsâ.
In biology you are allowed to name a new species if you have discovered it, policy is that you do not name it after yourself.
What, exactly, are you implying here?
Hrrmph.
No implications, just some information.
(unless your real name is bistro or biscotti )
