Edit: Btw, I wonder if it would possibly be a good idea to just ask banggood or any other retailer selling this light if they would be interested in buying a set number of these heatsinks, just so you would know how many you could order yourself for a 3rd batch ;)
@All who’s done the payment for the 2nd batch, thank you. You’re all should have got a PM from me with a confirmation of the payment. If not, please let me know.
Tomorrow I will start to prepare the shipments.
I’ve got D220s and D200s - I think I’ll stick with 220 for higher output but a bit closer to BBL. It’s gonna be real pretty will stick with 15A 26650 for it so I don’t need to bother writing a custom firmware.
Ok, I managed to put in mine and decided to do a small review. Originally I posponed installing this plate because I wanted to wait until I manage to flash it to correct rhe voltage measurement. So this copper thermal path works great. At 24° C room temterature the flashlight didnt throttle down from max ramp in 2 minutes. The head and body also get quite warmer during rampimg than before this mod. In general I didnt notice any output difference (visually) in minutes after turn on. Without the mode it dropped down to visually half intensity in seconds. All in all fucking amazing mod! Thank you man of light!
And and just an FYI. This flashlight is not flashing friendly. You got to unsolder 5 cables, 3 of th really small and really thing, disassemble everything to get to the Attiny85 MCU. All in all it was an interesting experience and I learned a lot about flashing and Anduril firmware, but I am not going to flash anything without pogo pins in the future. Everything is very tight and small inside and its easy to damage components on board easily. EMISARs are much more flashing friendly.
I’m going to replace the existing wires with much longer ones and squeeze it all in the cavity so I can pull the driver board without de-soldering cables again
