After-work edit:
I was off on my number a little bit. Still working on my sphere multiplier, but I got 1844 lumens (+ or -) and 131,551 candela for 725 meters of throw, measured at 20’ with an HS1010a
Sorry if this was said before, i may have missed it, but does the C8 SS bezel fit on the C8+?
It would look great on the tan body imo - and i have a spare one in need of a host.
Yes, I bought 2 Convoy C8’s: one with a 3A tint, and one with a 7A tint. The 7A tint is by far my favourite. If you like warm tints, you’ll love it. I use it mostly indoors for a nice incandescent look. Probably a little too warm for outdoors, but still works well outside.
My C8+ host finished.
shaved and polished SST40 led, TA OTSM driver, yellow lighted tailcap switch.
It draws 9.3A
Output: 2037 lumens
Intensity: 125525 cd
Throw:702m
I got nice hot spot without tint shift and smooth beam.
The grey gate is about 40m and the trees behind about 100m distance from me.
Speaking of that lighted tail cap, I just built an FET for an X6 that is straightforward, old style, no 7135 chip… this particular X6 already had a single LED in the tail cap and it works… how does it work if I didn’t put a bleeder resistor on the driver?
