(Cancelled)D1S+, CSLNM1.TG LED, 850lm, 320kcd

That is unfortunate Hank, but I still want to thank you for the update on the issues. It is why you are a valued member of the community and a vendor I’m happy to support when possible.

That’s a shame, I’m very picky about the lights I buy these days and this was one I was definitely keen on.

Nevertheless, thanks for trying and for providing the update. Maybe I will just buy one of these LEDs and try using it in something else.

That’s sad to hear. Maybe you can work with Lexel or Richard at Mtn to develop a 5A regulated driver?

Can you let us know what tint and flux bin of this LED and if you can sell the centering rings to us? Many would love to mod our own D1S with this emitter. Thanks.

Ouch!

Guess I will have to order another D1S and make my own. Is anything over 5 amps concidered over driving this LED?
Really wish someone would make a centering ring. Hoping Hoop will get them going soon. The demand could bring a decent price. I’d be willing to pay a couple bucks each for a few.

Well, get busy on your next creation!!! Thans for the update.

Because of focusing inconsistencies I don’t think I can just make one height of ring for a given light. This complicates matters.

I think I will need to get custom stickers / paper shims made which a person can stack to adjust reflector height. DIY focus. Those pre-made ones for hole punched paper would probably work fine. Should be .003”-.004” thick or so each.

:+1: :laughing:

Yes. Thanks for trying Hank. And thanks for the honest update.

I think it would need a linear FET driver, such as what led4power produces. But those are not cheap. If Hank would use a L4P driver, I believe a lot of us would still buy, even with an increased price. Maybe a limited special run? But, to make it a sustainable product, somebody would need to come up with a cheaper driver.

What about 12x7135 and 21700 battery?

That os just 4.2A. Far from the led peak performance.

To bad. Thnx for trying Hank. Keep up the good work.

Hank what about 21700/26650 version of D1s with XPL Hi ?

Or a single led tube light with reflector.

Where is the link? You don’t have that updated on your web site.

Hank, can you offer emitter on pcb with center ring.
this is good for modding

I will get one

Now I’ll have to buy more lights to cope with my emotional distress.

Now I know what Ralphie must’ve felt like in “A Christmas Story” when the neighbor’s dogs ruined their Christmas turkey dinner.

“The heavenly aroma still hung in the house. But it was gone, all gone! No turkey! No turkey sandwiches! No turkey salad! No turkey gravy! Turkey Hash! Turkey a la King! Or gallons of turkey soup! Gone, ALL GONE!”

Too bad it sounded like the perfect thrower. Thanks Hank. I know you will come up with something that I will be interested in.
