The issue here is that many people have a big problem opening up the GT, so it could lead to more issues then it fixes. Otherwise this is what would of been offered instead of the kit.
That was a mis-understanding. The specs in the OP are in fact approximately what the final numbers should be as delivered from lumintop with the dome on.
In fact I am actually under-rating them since we do not know the exact LED model yet. If for some reason they can not get P2 bin emitters, then the numbers might have to be adjusted. We will know more in a week or 2 when they find some LED options.
I tested a P2 bin 5700k light just yesterday and the numbers posted are a good bit under-rated from what I got to give some wiggle room.
It is a TA V2 driver that replaces the 7135’s with a resistor bank. 7135’s die at 12V and do not like 6V so I have to find another option and after a lot of testing and prototyping this has proved to work very well.
The lumens and throw ratings at this point are only an educated estimate as we have not found the production LED yet but based on my own testing and VOB’s among others, these numbers are well within reason. Worst case we can go with some P2 5700k emitters hit them.
The only real trick is finding a 5000k P2 bin, these are harder to find and I have not tested them yet obviously.
If people would prefer I can under-rate the ratings even more for the time being or just remove them entirely until we find the production LED and get some hard numbers. Although I am pretty sure they will be within ~10% of the numbers I posted if they are P2 binned.
Signed for 2 conversion kits. Is there a way to see the sign up results in google? IE total number of people etc?
For the Cool LEDs. My 2 cents is to absolutely go as cool as possible. Especially since a de-dome will lower the temp. I cant even tell you how many people have been blowing up my email because they want the laser like effect generated by the cool white.
Yes, it is all going into a spreadsheet now. When I have some free time I am going to figure out a way to transfer that over to the OP on a semi-regular basis so peopple can keep track of it.
Or I might also get a screen shot of the summery like this, although it doesn’t show the exact numbers:
We are still in the very early stages of looking for LED’s. What options there end up being will really depend on what we can find. I really want to stick with P2 bin so we are kind of at the mercy of what is available.
Runtime will depend on how bright you have it set. More output = more power naturally, just no way around that basic rule.
Far as actual runtime, I have not tested it exactly but I did let it run on turbo until LVP to test the thermal properties of the light.
Off the top of my head it was around ~1-1.5 hours till LVP kicked in but I did not time it and it was some time ago so take that with a heaping helping of salt.
Hi. I filled out the form but I checked my email and I don’t see any emails about a list of my answers as the form says I will get? Will it take a while or do I need to fill it out again?
Correct, I only got the TA prototype drivers for this light a few weeks ago and the production samples tested like 2 weeks ago.
Makes a pretty big difference with ~9-10A vs 6A.
VOB’s numbers line up pretty well with mine as well, so they should be pretty close.
I have not tested a de-domed version of the light with the TA driver yet that I can remember so the only numbers we have there are from VOB. I guessing 750kcd on the low side.
It will be a bit lower then VOB since he was using a 6000k emitter and meter bias causes it to read higher.
The light I tested yesterday was on the new Sphere calibration as well and using a Dr meter for the lux numbers.
