I need to do parts inspection in preventive maintenance and we cannot turn off the lights from the ceil.
So i need a powerful UV flashlight 18650 or 26650 batteries
Is there something better than the S2+ ??
here are the specs
A mod with a triple led board and triple reflector (not TIR) would be powerful enough while being safe for the fragile LED.
I would use this flashlight as a host with its triple reflector, and then a triple Noctigon MCPCB with some Nichias UV on it. Driving the 3 LEDs at 1800mA total would be safe for the LEDs yet providing 3 much times UV than the S2.
Of course, you would want to make a classic triple with a TIR optic but they’re made of PMMA which block 365nm wavelength
Just got one of the Convoy S2+ for fluorescent minerals and it is great, really bright. X3 I like the more is better approach. What about heat buildup with 3 emitters? There is already talk of the Convoy S2 overheating.
Well the Convoy S2+ does overheat because the emitter is driven with too much current, and that emmitter is really fragile.
But if you drive it correctly and put 3 emmitters in the same light, it may be safer…or you would have to find a bigger light for 3 emmitters.
