TN36UT driver mod

Hey guys!

any advice / experiences with that driver from the TN36 UT ?

i think that 4pcs R062 are the sense resistors?

what are the R020s for??

black left wire is LED-
middle red the Thermistor
right red LED+

Hi

Yes R062 they seem to be sensing resistors…. R020s they are perhaps the reference value for actuate thermistor

i got help form Vinh

there is another resistor :wink:

-> he uses a R050 and a lot of thermal cubes

-> i had a R200 which gave me 5,2A @16V (the lower Vin, the higher A, driver is quite linear )
and my Luxmeter guesstimated 10.xxx Lumen :sunglasses: from the shaved emitters

me happy!

Where is it? Could you post a photo of the resistor please?

Thanks in advance

i PMed you - i am not sure why, but i feel if vinh did not publish i do not either…

Ok, thx

Hey M4D M4X I just tore my tn36 UT apart thinking I could figure out how to add some lumens… stumbled upon this thread, can you point me in a direction? Can I gain any amps by simply removing reaistors?

there is a resistor between LED- and the ground ;)

if you remove it will be dark

lowering ita value will give you more Lumens!

be careful not to short it or the driver may burn...

I think I found it, says 2R20. What if I just bypass it with solder? :smiling_imp: I don’t mess a whole lot with the pcb’s but three XHP70s should be cranking out more lumens than stock. If I’m going through my junk drivers looking for a resistor would it say like R10 or R15? Appreciate the response, I know it’s and old light now and an old thread

do not bridge as its too hot then

R100 did also overheat FAST

i used a R200 then
