it’s a good little driver for the money . personally prefer the P4000 it gives almost the same current on 1 cell but you have the option of adding a second cell, just in case ‘SHTF / teotwawki’
you’ll need a 20mm to 22mm adapter for the P4000 but its no biggie here’s the links to both
Yes to the latter, but it’s the older (somewhat ugly) Ti model. Still the same.
I’m about cooling the brass down. Glue should crack when the brass shrinks. Will the electronics and the glass survive a normal kitchen deep freezer? Otherwise I’d have to get cooler spray to apply it carefully to the thread, only cooling down some outside material.
No , haven’t tried a bearing race . Maybe after I finish this one , I’ll look into that . Thanks for the idea . I have been recycling / repurposing materials when I can figure a use for them.
I think maukka, TK, probably bob all have something similar but I decided my mobile modding station needed a bit of light and I just couldn’t fathom working on high CRI flashlights and having a low CRI desk light.
The arm is huge, probably overkill for this size desk but if i want a really floody option I can get it real high up or use it on the opposite end of the desk, so i’ll keep the bigger swing arm. Pretty popular and affordable ~95CRI Viltrox L116T light with a (optional) DC adapter.
Parts:
Adjustable clamp on boom with 1/4 stud:
Viltrox light:
DC Power supply:
Bonus tip:
You can see my ridiculous haul of optics from Yajiamei. Add a bunch of shit to your cart and do the classic “order but dont pay” then send a message to them to adjust the shipping costs. Thank me later.
Nothing special this time. Luxeon V 4000k, TA with bistro HD FET+6+1. All this in the L2T body with the L2P tail. Led soldered directly to the KD pill. Pill surrounded by copper sheet and tight pressed into a flashlight. I still have to make the switch and it will be over.
Thank you. It looks like I’ve always overpaid.
How much did you save?
Yep, I can confirm we’re all using the Viltrox as a work light I upgraded mine to the architect lamp style arm instead of a flex arm earlier this year and I’m much happier. Zak and I have panels installed on the arm that comes with the Ikea Tertial lamp because it’s cheap and very robust compared to a lot of ones sold separately on Amazon.
