My summary of the lantern will be in this post
I have done a quick test of the charging port
also 2. measurement I have overwritten the automatic protocol to charge at 12V to test the plug in to a 12V source as 1:1 car adapter or diretly on a 12V solar panel
I will start now with precise measurements on the BLF lantern
first was that I could see visible brightness changes when doing tint ramping
now also the measurement shows me clearly that ithere is less brightness when between the tints
so there is some work for toykeeper to adjust the tint ramping code,
this was to be expected that some fine tuning is needed
some sort of switch breathing?
current through switch LED shows “heartbeat” pulsing
.
Thermal test
Setup
.
room Temperature about 20°C
Maximum current with 7 AMCs
this is a 15min test in timelapse reduced to one minute
the upper part heated up to 41.6°C
.
30min thermal images
temperature stays on absolutely safe level
.
permanent LED trimmer added and changed to my 2x2 LKED board with WW LEDs
.
Things that need to be changed on hardware side
- Programming key viases 0.05mm smaller diameter
- electrical reverse polarity protection of charging circuit and/or mechanical
- switch with warm white LEDs
- added permanent LEDs to switch
- switch wire colors changed to logical colors
black GND (atm LED)
white switch (atm GND)
red Ind. LED (atm switch)
another color for the permanent LEDs
