I will ask them if there is any possibility to have some of the changes suggested, be it the DTP or even the Osram But, I wouldn’t count with too much opening for that on their side.
About the data, sorry, I forgot you had measured it before :person_facepalming:
I linked your post above on the review, but I didn’t pay attention to the measurements.
Well, with the numbers, it becomes more obvious that the distance between medium and high is less “visible” than at sight (eyes, in this case). I believe they don’t want to push it “too much” to allow better runtimes, but it sacrifices some output :zipper_mouth_face:
BTW, yesterday I modded the Z821.
Like contactcr, I dismantled my Convoy S2 that had a led4power 4A-6A driver and Osram White 2 and put it in the Z821 :partying_face:
Whaaaat?!! I couldn’t wait till led4power reopens the store
I also replaced the tailswitch, for a forward clicky switch. I used the PCB & spring of the OTR M1 and soldered a FC switch bought from Simon. Tailcap is orange and fits better in colour.
I also added a screw-in pocket clip, that I “torched” a little bit to be more suitable in colour
On the head, I blackened the “reflector”, and as I didn’t have any suitable gasket, I added electrical tape and also GITD tape around the led to avoid contact between the solder and reflector, and also to avoid a ring around the led (every gasket I had was creating that).
Still, despite this, there are still artifacts…
I must warn that: I like the throw and output with the W2, but I guess I will replace it for a W1 later, because the rectangular shaped beam seems a bit awkward, at least indoor.
Also, I had to change the driver to CC instead of DD (even at 4A) because with a full battery the highest level was turning into BLUE CC solved the issue, so beware of the configuration you use in this light!
