Ordered one “glued”, as it was going to be a gift.
SST20 4000K
All emitters come on when the light is cold. as soon as it heats up one emitter shuts off. And then another one starts giving up. So after a few seconds on turbo, two emitters are off.
FF definitely need to step up their QC game :weary:
So this has turned into a test of the FF 3-year-warranty/customer support.
Sent them a mail three days ago, no response yet.
PM him on here. I had a cosmetic issue with one of mine and Jack went out of his way to do anything he could and there was nothing he wasn’t willing to do. This was just recently.
I’m sure he just overlooked your email with all that’s going on.
does that only happen on turbo? Like normal ramping it’s fine? Always the same two?
I just got my rot66 xpl hi 5000k… i bought the one with the scratch to save some money… the scratch is just on the bezel. i cant believe sony vtc5a give 1000 more lumen than samsung 30q.
The 30Q is a nice mix of high capacity and still high current. Capacity and current is always a trade-off. If you don’t mind less capacity, you can get higher currents. For example, the Sony VTC4 2100mah can deliver even higher currents than the VTC5A at around 30A continous. So you just choose what’s best for you.
I received my ROT66 today, black Nichia 219B option.
Normally, I’d say the 219C’s in my D4 look about as neutral as one can get. Compared to this ROT66, a hint of green tint shows up in the D4, while the ROT66 does lean ever so slightly pink.
I’m enjoying playing around with the many features of Anduril.
With as well this style light tail stands, I also decided not to wait before making a diffuser for it from a dead A19 bulb:
The diffuser Neal is selling for the GT Mini is a bit “loose” when used on the GT Mini, but it actually fits quite snugly when used on the ROT66 instead…
onieanjal - Is my picture showing up for you, two posts above yours?
Cutting the diffuser from an LED light bulb down to rest on the ROT66’s head like I did should be pretty simple if you have a Dremel, hacksaw, or other means of cutting plastic.
Thanks. Google photos can be a finicky host. I didn’t know the GT Mini diffuser could be bought separately, so I wanted to make sure my mod was visible. I wouldn’t say it is better than a cone style diffuser like the GT Mini version, but it is an option.
There was nothing particularly difficult about it as long as you have a reasonable way of cutting the plastic, such as a hacksaw or Dremel.
I cut mine a bit small, checked the fit, did some additional trimming with my Dremel until it almost fit, and then finished with about 10 minutes of sanding by hand. This gave me a snug fit so it doesn’t fall off when I move the light.
I wasn’t sure if I would be able to get a snug fit, but figured since the head of the ROT66 is wider than the bezel, the worst case would be the diffuser sits a little lower and could be knocked off accidentally.
