That looks like a really nice solution, compact and easy to use. It might still not fit on 17mm and smaller drivers, but it’d be really nice on bigger ones. On smaller drivers, it might be necessary to spread vias out over a wider area, wherever they can fit. It’s far less convenient to use, but still better than having to unsolder things between tests.
Any idea whether your black Liitokala is genuine or not, assuming there is fake Liitokala 26650 cells now??? Do you remember roughly when you ordered your Liitokala? And if you have an analysing charger, do you mind checking the capacity of your Black Liitokala 26650 cells?
I was all set to order a pack of 4 Black Liitokala 26650 cells from them till I noticed several more recent posts suggesting Liitokala Official Store on AE also sells fake non-Liitokala cells, so I am starting to wonder if they sell fake Liitokala cells too??? See post here today by ledoman indicating their Panasonic NCR18650B are fakes! Here is another post by Barkuti indicating he has received fake Samsung 25R cells from them as well.
You really need to get a MT09R man. I got one modded by TA in blue; looks fantastic and does 21,000 lumens. I love the blue finish on it.
The SC26 group buy is still going on I think. Cool little light, same blue finish, but it badly needed a different driver and UI. I’ve been searching for a 28mm boost driver with Narsil and side switch LED support, but haven’t found any yet.
You can buy it from BG and have it shipped to TA for modding. But the new V2 already comes with the TA designed driver and also have factory spring bypasses. The only thing you might want TA to mod is the emitters. We don’t know what bin emitters the factory comes with but TA can help you put in top bin emitters of a color temperature of your choice.
Anyone know how you ramp the Aux LEDs? I clicked 7 times to get it to low Aux, but when I click again it just goes into ramping of regular leds. Curious to see how bright those blue aux leds could get.
Yeah, the aux LEDs don’t ramp. The ‘high’ mode on them is as bright as they get, but you can change that by swapping out the resistor on the aux LED board.
