Update: I lost the switch bezel so I made a new one, being that it’s our 6th year married I’ve been incorporating copper into every gift I could and this was no excepting. I feel like this one hit the bullseye (you’ll get the pun in a sec).
Btw this was done with a hand drill, a pair of pliers, a hacksaw and some small files.
380 round, lead drilled out, a tiny sliver cut off.
Yesterday the new Osram CSLNM1.TG leds arrived from led4power. Putted in one to my modded Convoy S8 and one into my GT mini. Some pics and beamshots:
Convoy S8, S2+ SMO reflector, AR lens, 3,15A. 9x7135. It makes 573 lumens and 30800 cd.
It is slightly smaller than XP leds
GT mini with Emisar D1S reflector. You can see the beam thinner as going away from light so it need to raise the reflector a bit. Making 219000 cd with unfocused reflector and GA cell to not overdrive the led.
I bought these soldered to MCPCB but I using paste with bare leds. With size I mean the complete led size smaller than XP centering ring cutout. Not the die.
This emitter was my test led and got slightly burned on the edges of the phosphorus during some max power tests, that’s what the odd color is in the reflection of the die. Even as such it still performs well as well as expected (i.e. nothing to write home about but it’s still cool as hell)
XP-L HI (stock) 29,690kcd damaged XD16 5700cri 25,700kcd.
I have 2 more 5000k 70cri emitters to play with too.
Throw is comparable with C8. Here is the picture with Convoy C8 with CREE XP-L HI V2 5D at 2.7A, SP32A with OSRAM KW CSLNM1.TG at 3A and stock Acebeam EC35 at 3.3A. Around 2.5 metres to a wall:
