Possibly. Those are a dang good deal, and the H1A is really really close to what I was going to build anyways, but I could never touch that price point. They are even using the same IC, even though they scratched the markings off LOL (TPS61088).
That board improved that way would sound tempting to me too.
Maybe modding those boards up to that better level could be worthwhile business?
When hardware has the markings scratched off, I always wonder, how long will they keep using the good stuff and is it likely that cheaper parts will be substituted eventually, with the same scratch-off obscuring any later change in what’s being used. Or does scratched-off identification mean they’re using some off-spec, seconds/rejects, of course …
Got my JAXMAN E2L host in the mail yesterday. Very nice light! I like the integrated LED shelf like on the bigger convoy lights. Threads are top notch as well.
Do be careful to read the build notes Richard put on his website though. I had to drill out the center hole a bit (I used a #27 drill), and had to file down the noctigon board quite a bit in order to get it to drop in. Once all that was done though the light fits together great. I also bypassed the tail spring with some copper braid.
Unfortunately I forgot I needed thermal paste so will have to get some of that this afternoon before I can power it on.
Just got my 17mm Qlite Guppydrv firmware driver, and soldering braid yesterday. Thanks for the ultra fast service Richard, it got to me in 2 days. Got it installed and what a difference it makes over the standard 6*7135 convoy driver, its almost like a night and day difference in brightness.
just put together all the P60 parts i received last week. For some reason this one is super bright! XP-L HI v3 3c quad with bistro. Draws 18A at the tail with VTC6!
I have multiple XPL HI quads and the most I got is from a Convoy M2 with the same driver/LEDS…12A. This is one hell of a hot rod! But why is this one so much brighter?!?
