Well, the SST-20s do have 30% more candela/lumen compared to the XP-L HI.
Meaning:
SST-20 65CRI = Tighter and more intense hotspot compared to the XP-L HI, meaning you get more throw.
SST-20 95CRI = Tighter, but less intense hotspot, meaning you will get about the same throw as the XP-L HI.
Hey nothing fancy for me just pulled the Osram from my new Tool and popped a N219B behind the TIR.
And the Osram made its way into a single mode loaner light
Nice result! Stock driver? Is the 14500 limiting it enough so that excess current isnāt an issue? (edit: I was thinking of the White Flat, but Iāll let the question stand) And looks like not quite enough room for a 16mm MCPCB?
Too bad the D1 doesnāt focus the White Flat very wellā¦ that would make for a sweet pocket thrower (having the extra capacity, but similar footprint).
That's a sic amount of throw for such a little light. Whatever they did, I think they got the reflector right on this one. I got an opened Micro and 3 black flats laying around. Hhmmm...
Nice, I have been thinking about it.
Two questions:
*did you use potassium cyanide in the process? :confounded:
*do you have any idea of the thickness of the layer?
1. He probably used potassium cyanide, yes. Unless he used a silver nitrate sodium hydroxyde solution, with silver nitrate, ammonia and sodium thiosulfate.
It does work very well, albeit slower compared to the potassium cyanide method.
2. I donāt know. Whatās the surface area of the electrodes used, the current, and the surface of the A01 itself?
I have been wanting to do some nickel plating, but Iām still waiting for my nickel sheet to do it.
Sorry if I answered in his place. Bad habit of mine.
