With a “normal” driver and the best firmware around. Glad to see you got your hands in this one TK, I remember you aching when you couldnt do anything with the Meteor FW.
PS: This has a bit of a DBCustom vibe coming from it haha.
Will this dethrone my ROT66? No stainless steel tailcap, aux leds on button and head are turndowns compared to the ROT66, but the sheer turbo burst output and the possibility of more efficient lower runtimes make me salivate. If 9 emitters in an ROT66 can run without heat at around 1400 lumens, I’m assuming double the emitters can get up to like 2-2500 lumens without heat issues? Maybe, but it is a small host.
So swapping the lenses should be doable.
But there’s like 500 lm loss because you need to put a glass in front of them
What is the diameter of a single lens?
Have you considered adding a 19th lens in the middle and moving electrical connections to the side?
BTW:
I’m very happy to learn about the price. I’d really like to get one as soon as my budget permits it.
Beam angle?
Can the black mask on top be removed or does it help keep optics in place?
Will it be possible for advanced user to replace LEDs? No glue, etc?
Hank I understand there is no AUX LED at first, and some people do not want, but is there any plan to add it because personally I love the D4S AUX LEDs.
Either way I want one soon :). Very nice work
Oh and it’s a screw down bezel without glue correct?
