Thanks.
I actually don`t want to have too many pictures in my reviews.
Some have soo many pictures, that I don`t even read the text.. it just looks like a catalogue.. buy it, be happy kind of thing.
So I add some pics in the end, and I link to many pictures, or have mouse overs and such..
I don`t need to see 5 pictures from different angels of the bezel.
5 pictures of the lanyard
5 pictures of the holster
etc..
but that`s just my taste ;)
feel free to comment about reviews in general in this thread :D https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/20189
I don’t know about the others but I personally prefer a lot of pictures. And I see you did have a lot of explanations, dimension measurements and runtime graph too, it’s full with info.
By the way, did you try to shine this light in lower modes on a spinning fan and could you notice PWM patterns?
Ok, I got some info about calculating the A from the LD29 mod thread
So I will just enter my own values, and see if it makes any sense.
Quoted from the mentioned thread.
The ouput amps to the LED is 3A, so therefor the sensing voltage is V = I x R = 3 x 0.06 = 0.18V. The sensing voltage will stay constant, so if you want 5A output to the LED, your sensing resistor should be: R = V/I = 0.18/5 = 0.036Ω. So your best bet would be to Remove the 4 SMD resitors, and put a R036???? resistor. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to get the exact resistor in small quantities. Thus we stack resistors to get to the desired overall resistance.
I can`t follow the following numbers yet..I tried, and think its correct... but please let me know if I do something wrong.
- 2 x 0.1Ω in parallel = 0.05Ω, put that in parallel to the original 0.06Ω = 0.0273Ω = 6.5A?? correct? (0.18/0.273) - 3 x 0.1Ω in parallel = 0.03333Ω, put that in parallel to the original 0.06Ω = 0.0349Ω = 5.15A?? (0.18/0.0349) - 4 x 0.1Ω in parallel = 0.02500Ω, put that in parallel to the original 0.06Ω = 0.0484Ω = 3.71A?? (0.18/0.0484)
Forget all the math, there's no way to know if it's correct from one light to another until after you change the resistors and see how much difference it makes. Just stack one resistor at a time, something reasonable that won't whack it too hard in one go, like 1/2 ohm (R500). The higher your added resistors are, the less increase each one will give. Adding a really low one like a R020 could be too much, using a bunch of higher value ones gives you a lot more control and won't suddenly do something bad on you.

someone mentioned this to me, and I just bought it... left it somewhere in my closest, took it out a few hours ago.. and now realized its not any better than the spoon I just used.
