Hmmm… Yes… I just need classic glass lenses in small zoomie light(they usually are low precision ones?)…
But that idea of frozen patter from underside of lens or even better on top of the lens looks like a nice experiment. Small round “blur” or “smudge” on top of lens could do…
Guys. Please try the challenge…It is almost unbelievable how hard is to find this below:
“Zoomie(budget smaller one) but with anodized threads, glass lens, 25.4mm body, 1x18650 bat, without any gimmick charging ports if possible…”
There is a neat way of removing the anodizing, forget the name bit I have the stuff at home, its a common oven cleaner. Works surprising well at removing any anodizing it comes in contact with,right down to bare aluminium
I just wanted small zoomie with real glass lenses and glass lens are usually inferior to plastic lenses and they make blurry die projection in direct comparison to acrylic/plastic lenses wich have ultra clear die projection. I need glass one because I need blurry effect with VCSEL laser die…
So once again challenge for you guys:
“Zoomie(budget smaller one) with anodized threads, glass lens, 25.4mm body, 1×18650 bat, without any gimmick charging ports if possible…”
Been through hundreds of models only Sofirn SF30 is close to that but it has freaking 3xaaa body , and I need 25,4mm one
That is real beauty! I ordered one… Everything here but glass lenses
So why not swapp plastic to glass lens?
I think it is turbo hard to find glass one that will work on place of plastic one… Yes it may fit but focal difference… I would not like any overfocus or defocus(black hole ) issues. So finding that is also Sizifus job
I was able to find all kind of stuff and flashlights but I can’t believe that I can’t find the one I need with mentioned criteria: Zoomie(budget smaller one) but with anodized threads, glass lens, 25.4mm body, 1×18650 bat, without any gimmick charging ports if possible…
I have purchased a couple of lights from this seller JKK70 Manta Ray C8.2 all pretty good in my opinion. But yes it is also listed a 15 watts, 7 amps x 3 volts = 21 watts. Who knows, really only one way to find out.
I am kinda new here and I have been wondering why someone has not attacked the voltage on these low voltage emitters this way. Limiting the output voltage and increasing the amperage.
To increase the amperage going to the LED, you need to up the voltage to the LED by a bit.
Be careful though. Up the current too much(even if the LED can handle it), but gets too hot, and you might end up in a situation of a runaway with an LED, in which it kills itself.
Isn’t an issue with regulated drivers, but can be an issue with FET drivers.
Those look sharp. Too bad that switch retaining ring appears to be pressed in. I’m curious is the charging circuit is on the same board as the main driver components or a separate one.
