@djozz,

thermal path definitely looks not optimal, I got peak at 5.75Amps. Excess solder could cause that when power density is high like with this LED. Also, I'm using lead-free solder which has a little bit better thermal conductivity.

I have been noticing this since other people started led tests, so it is good to have more than one test of the same led. My not so ideal heat-path tests could be seen as a simulation of average not so ideal flashlight builds :wink:

FWIW, the X6 build is indeed using the Ledil Iris, in the XP-E optimization.

About to go build my newly arrived purple Convoy S2+, with a 12A L4 and 3 LH351D’s at 80 CRI 5000K on Hoops copper pill. Should be an epic little tube light… :smiley:

That sounds dangerous. :slight_smile:

Crossing my fingers hoping that heatsink threads in, haha.

Heatsink fit fine, all went together very well. Used the small/large combination of Blue’s springs on the tail switch board and a single small spring on the driver, 20 ga Teflon leads to the triple Noctigon. But even on a 30Q it’s “only” making 2600 lumens. Not sure why that is, will look into it some today.

The Samsung’s make a huge flood of hot spot with virtually no spill, no artifacts, pretty nice triple, great for a walk or relatively close work. I have a blue S2+ also with Hoops pill and it’s making 3029 lumens with XP-L V3 3C emitters. So now the pair are pretty neat. :smiley:

Oh, FWIW, I reflow solder the triple Noctigon onto the copper sink/pill. :wink:

AND, let me say once more… Hoop, these pills are stunningly beautifully made! Really nice using already perfectly executed components and simply assembling the light. (I, uh, DID actually put the positive on the driver wrong and had to troubleshoot that, white Teflon intended to be to positive, white with brown stripe intended to be negative, got em reversed. UGH! Like this is my first rodeo…)

Did you enable direct drive in the firmware? By default it’s set to CC for the highest mode (12A max)

Ah, true, it’s on the 12A setting. Will actually probably reduce it a bit as it does get hot fairly quickly. lol Thanks for reminding me, I knew it had the DD setting but just forgot about it… :person_facepalming:

Some years back, on my birthday, my wife and daughter gave me a T-Shirt with the text (across the front) I DO know it all! I just can’t remember it all at the same time. :stuck_out_tongue:

Still hoping :wink:

Is it an idea or at all possible to have centering pieces made for 3030 Oslon-sized leds like the KW CSLNM-TG? For the various reflector hole sizes around?

I find centering the one major frustrating part of using 3030 leds, a fitting centerpiece would help bigtime. I have no access to or skills with 3D printers plus that I fear for the low melting point of printable plastics.

I used cheap solder paste(mechanic) we mostly use here. But very little(applied with needle syringe) Also best performance somewhere at 5.8-6A I could not define correctly as other guys with better equipment. I just have uni-t clamp meter and lux meter for testing purposes.

And I am definitive not getting any angry blue at even more than 7A after more then 3 minutes on samsung INR 30Q.

But that maybe also depends on used rig. Mine was in dd mode with fet driver, single 18650.

But I think that Djozz test also represents well how this emitter work. Some may get higher peak and some lower depends how they will reflow or cherry pick something.

So what is the advantage of this KW CSLNM-TG emitter over the old G2? More throw, but less output?

I just leave this here:
Old XP-G2 dedomed: 22000cd
CSLNM1.TG: 30800cd
Totally same light 3,15A current S8 host, S2+ SMO reflector, AR coated lens:

And in a GT mini (with Emisar D1S reflector):

send to me too, best price for 200 pcs

Those are cool pics for sure, I have 9 of them incoming, but what is the Max output 700lms?

So are we going to call this LED the Oslon White Flat or the Ostar Projection Compact?

The S8 does 573 at 3,15A.
Didn’t measured the GT mini lumens. Maybe around 600-650.
Will measure it tonight.

Remember Kawi, the XSword is only making 370 lumens (for over 2 hours!) but still puts light on a water tower 1.9 miles away. Don’t get to “focused” on the low lumens numbers. :wink:

Wow your room has a very dense “atmosphere” for a beam to show up like that. I can’t get any of my throwers to show a beam within my house.

The secret beamshot trick:
My wife was cooking the dinner and burned it a little :innocent:
But it was delicious ! And good for beamshots :smiley:
