Yes, I put asbestos cloth and then drywall on top of them for my palm rest for better control. As a side bonus it makes the iron heats faster, very effective insulator.
This is white asbestos which is the less dangerous form. As long as you donāt saw or sand the stuff, producing asbestos dust, you should be ok.
My (late) mother used to warm the croissants on top of an asbestos simmer plate on the stove. But I will more probably die from her chip pan: she never replaced the fat for 20 years, when the level got low she just added new fat.
If I were to solder 4 nichia 119ās onto an VR21SP4 would they be spaced correctly for a Carclo quad or because of how the LEDās will center on the pads will the led to optic cone spacing be wrong?
Clemence, have you considered making 3x3 E21A MCPCBs? Would be expensive but compatible with 7070 optics (aside from low height) and producing a lot of high quality light.
Clemence, would taking pre-orders for future products in your store help with speeding up development time? If so, I would gladly pay ahead for some 3x3 E21A along with Carclo triple compatible e21a boards.
Just a thought. Excited for what your doing! Keep up the good work!
Total current is 4.9A, so 0.6125A per LED (two strings of four LEDs are in parallel, so there needs to be a bit a tolerance for the max current per LED). Generelly it's very low powered.
I bet quite a few people might be interested in this. The interest list for the lantern alrrady has over 2000 entries!
