These lights were built excellently with great UI, so we may not have a lot of room for improvement and mod.
I would not do much for mine and would not mind if Manker uses glue on these.
However, please Do NOT use LOCTITE or heavy glue.
That being said these glues should be good for us.
Thanks KB. Attiny44 for sure. Can’t quite make out the power ICs, oh well.
Re: glue. It’s just the driver that’s glued in, right? I’m not a fan of glue, but I mean a little glue probably isn’t bad since there’s no retaining ring. I doubt I’ll pull the driver on this one anyhow. I’d rather have a small amount of glue than for the driver to be loose. /shrug
Manker can you tighten up the 3 Optic receiver (leg) holes in the MCPCB it would do well to tighten the Hot Spot up. Mine has the hot spot oblong and off center to the emitter, the optic can shift linearly to the mcpcb throwing it off to the emitter…. not really awful bad, but to me, it is sloppy… it could be improved upon…
Slight burrs on the punch thru holes…
Chamfered and a couple drags across a piece of Glassed 1000grt… cleans up well…
Just the driver is glued… acetone or a strong lacquer thinner will do the trick… wet to saturate, let it set a spell, move driver radially back and forth to shear the glue…
Vinh just uploaded a video comparing the L16, E10 and MC13. The manker looks very impressive assuming it’s using a 18350, can’t wait for this GB to go live.
