The computer CPUs are MUCH bigger and heavier than the E07 and even then it won’t be able to sustain the heat wattage generated by the E07 on max and still be able to hold it comfortably. For a flashlight to use the same cooling tech as cpu cooling systems, the host needs to be much bigger and will no longer be pocketable like the E07. The recent Imalent MS18 is a great example.
The problem right now is that the higher efficiency LEDs are CW, bad tint, and low CRI. The HI CRI emitters like the SST-20 95CRI and Nichia 219B 9080 are much less than 100 lumens/watt on the higher outputs.
We could use PC tech all we want but PC’s always have a constant supply of air (fans) moving across their heat sources that flashlights will never have.
Here’s what you can do:
Buy this XHP50 x 3 PCB. Get a copper spacer. Make your E07 a 3x XHP50 (3V) mule. It will probably sustain the same lumens for twice (at medium outputs) as long but it will be a hideous looking beam and even heavier up front. Did I mention it will be 10K lumens turbo?
some other complaints I have about the flashlight is… its way too big step from high to turbo mode… I would also want to be able to ramp up to turbo mode… or atleast half turbo…
But I think the most stupid thing with thish flashlight is that for some reason you have to double press twice to enter turbo ? what is this, some kind of “child/security” protection ?
This is very stupid and not necessary, I am pretty sure all agree with me. I am not the only one who complained high to turbo is too big step…
or the high setting is too low… compared to turbo…
It really get very very hot… I wonder… what temperature in celcious should I set I am going to try to reconfigure the sensor… next week… sigh
is 90 degrees safe for the electronics ?
What’s the mcpcb size for the eo7? I’ve been wanting to convert it to an dedicated mule, the mcpcb is a bit too deep, thinking of adding spacers to bring it up closer to the glass
I just got mine and have to join with everyone in saying how nice this light is. I just keep playing with it. Of course you guys have now ruined me for anything without Anduril and Nichia LEDs.
I think I’ve seen the number of the highest regulated level somewhere in this thread, but I lost track of it.
Does anyone know what is the highest regulated level (7135*3 maxed out) and how many clicks do I need to do to set it to that level?
