seems a bit high ,shouldnt cost more then 5-6$ each even if button tops… ?
I have a solution! Run ~3A to each emitter and when you ramp up and down it turns on/off one emitter at a time from the inside out in a spiral pattern.
According to my theoretical calculations, every LED will get 2.6A in turbo. The whole will absorb about 160W. I have a question for Hank, is the weight given on the site with or without packaging, whether with or without batteries?
Driver design nightmare. :confounded:
Not to mention the wiring schematic…
(think in the voice of USS Enterprise Chief Engineer Scotty), “I’ve got her patched together Captain and I’m giving er all she’s got but I don’t know how much longer she’ll hold together!”
A good tint mix would look awesome under a UV though…
Ok so we have spiral ramping and down firing UV aux LEDs? awesome. I’ll buy it
Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for your quick reply. :THUMBS-UP:
I just ordered the D18 with SST-20 5.000K. I can’t wait to get it into my hands. :-)
On a side note: It seems most people on TLF order the khaki sand version.
Hank,
1- is the $99 usd price a pre-order/early order price only?
2- if so, how long will you be running the $99 price for?
3- what will the regular price be once the $99 price changes?
I needs one but this is also new summer tires month…
I don’t believe he’s ever done pre-order/early order prices so suspect $99 will be the price for a while.
If I was to order one it would be the khaki sand version. Not because I especially like the colour but more because black is too ubiquitous and having a different colour makes it feel more special and unique.
Sand as a change of pace.
@BlueSword,
I see your very sound logic and I raise you a quote from lux-perpetua lol :person_facepalming:
Its funny because he said it was gonna be under $100. $99 LOL
lol… financial team advises him sell price must be $102… damnit… $99 it is then :person_facepalming:
I think some BLF members indicated early on that they’d be happy if it was going to be under $100, so that kind of gave Hank a hint how to price it. 
I have this message “Things don’t appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later. ” while redirecting to PP page .In other shops everything is OK.
:+1: that’s what I thought ,I think for those members it wouldn’t be wise to play poker lol
No tube?
Question for all regarding driver efficiency between the M43 and the D18.
Low VF leds excess voltage will burn off as heat in the D18 when running on 7135’s.
M43 will be more efficient in terms of how it takes advantage of the low Vf LEDs due to the boost driver.
Do you think the extra 6 LED’s in the D18 will offset the efficiency loss compared to the Boost driver of the Meteor?
