I did my first ever reflow today
Since my FF PL47 didn’t live up to the expectations, it was scrapped.
But I had to give those lovely 219B emitters a new home. So I finally pulled the trigger on the Titanium version of the Emisar D4.
Then I gathered all my courage and gave my first ever reflow a go.
Here is my setup
Old teflon frying pan, IR thermometer for hitting the right temperature on the stove.
And then it happened, the emitters came loose, and i swapped them over to the empty 4XP V2 MCPCB. Added way too much paste, but it spilled out when giving them a little squeeze.
That was easier than i imagined
Did a quick test with my DMM, GREAT SUCCESS! All four emitters lit up.
Then the usual procedure of D4 driver disassembly, flashing Anduril to the driver.
Swapped in the new MCPCB
Not my finest solder job, but I was eager to power it up.
Was excited to see if my reflow would hold on full power. And it freggin did, yay!
Quick beamshot: XP-G2 S4-5D 4000K / 219B 4500K / 219C 5000K
XP-G2 is a little less yellow IRL, but the nichias a pretty spot on. Look at that rosy goodness.
So I have pretty much built my grail-light. The nicest emitters, and awesome firmware; Freggin awesome
