That sucks Lexel. must be really frustrating. hope you get better soon.

DBSAR, did you had the time to measure the lens/globe/diffuser cup?

not yet, but will as soon as i can… ( been overloaded with errands & work the last week.

I’m interested in this - please add me to the list.

Same here Lexel. I hope it’s nothing serious.

I will be out of town for a few days without internet, until i return on Tuesday August, 28th. I will catch up then!

cat bite seriously infercted if antibiotic dont help next days they have to cut my pointing finger open at the joint

ouch* hope it heals up soon for you.

I still have itchy spots which crust over then thicken and split open on my arm from a cat bite 5 years ago. Sounds worse than it is, but the point is don’t underestimate animal bites, some of the bacteria they can carry are nasty.

Ditto

What sort of people does Barry have working for him if they need to be spoon fed everything? Are they simply a build to print contract manufacturer that makes flashlights?

got so far today
power bank added tomorrow

alsom thought if the driver comes from production with 16 AMCs and they got solder bridge to configure more or less than 4

Lexel did in 2 hours what I couldn’t do in 2 months. Thanks so much for the help!!

Well, he has already been making a lot of driver designs, so he has plenty of starters to make this from. Changing a few things here and there doesn’t take very long. But, the point remains, and I agree - he’s awesome! Thanks from me too, Lexel!

Wow awesome work on this!
I like the idea of having solderable bridges for the 7135s, ( as in comes from the factory with 4-7135s in stock output level, but modders could easily bridge a trace to increast the output to 6 or 8 AMCs or less)

ill be in for one, since I seem to be BLF-afflicted

Why not a MOSFET based linear driver with higher efficiency in the low modes like the LD4 and texas commander drivers?

Yes, that should be done. Keep is simpler.

It is much more important to have rosy tint, and CRI over 90, and R9 over 90, on either 3000-4000-4500-5000-5700k. It really does not make that much of a difference in real life. 3000-4000k with that high of a CRI is basically the same.
