The smaller ones or the big grey 100 boxes?
oh so maybe remove one and leave one?
haha, got ya
I will try it this evening!
Not the “grey 100 boxes” .
The small R100 resistors . You need to lower the resistance not increase it . Removing one resistor will increase resistance ( two 100mΩ resistors in parallel , total resistance 50mΩ )
yeah, I see them, I have some spare r100, laying around, from a scrapped skyray ok? But explain how can 2x r100 be 50? One would think 200? Please explain why it works like this?
Got the driver open, now it’s showtime, lets solder!
A simple search on google will help .
got 6 r100’s, or could I start by adding one only per led?
Ok, soldered on the r100 resistors, works great, not sure if it’s any brighter though have to test outside!
You added 1 resistor in each set of R100s ?
added 2 per set
definately brighter, even lowest mode is pretty bright! Not sure if it’s enough for me yet though!
You could have soldered the R100 resistor in between the other two so they are all bridged.
The 2 R100 are already bridged , in other words connected in parallel .
true, there are now 2 extra per emitter. And let me tell you this thing has got some power now. Even in the lower modes it’s super bright. Just overall ridiculously bright. I dedomed it before, and it got more throw, spring bypass on both ends, and now the reistor mod. The dedome made it lose output, but the resistor mod made it even brighter again. So now it has throw and super flood. Just a beast! But it’s still not enough for me.
Gets hot on turbo after 10-30 seconds now though. Can’t hold it in the hand for more than a minute lol.
Yeah, but putting one in between those 2, would have been easier. It was a real pain to solder, a real nightmare to solder actually. But my nice soldering station made it a bit easier though.(Tenma digital soldering station) Recommend it! Ok so what’s next? a turbo? Nos? haha just kidding, that direct drive would still be nice though.
I would be interested to know how bright it is. Can you take a picture when ever you get the time?
Sure I think the dedoming might, have some impact on the output. It still is crazy bright. Imagine if you had 7x xhp70? It could seriously benefit from better cooling though. Stock there is just a copper plate for heatsink+ the head obviously, but I think Haikelite could have done better on the cooling, especially for such an expensive light afterall. Slightly dissapointed to be honest. But it still is cheaper than olights and acebeams etc. Maybe add a fan of some sort, any ideas for additional cooling?
Heats up in half the time on turbo now, so must habe done something, since it runs hotter lol. Set some paper and plastic on fire lol.
