Thanks for checking Neven!
I know that the V2 will fit better a and that it will still give me a nice tint and beam, but making a triple/quad Luxeon V has been one my goals since I knew about them and started using them, so I wanted the contest mod to have them! Also, I guess it will combine well with the other stuff I’ll put in the flashlight!
Thanks for checking! I will check your store any way for other stuff :partying_face:
Hi led4power can I ask you for advice? I have a problem with ld-4a driver. It worked fine in C8+ host and wf2 until I try to replace the driver spring. I probably messed up something and shorted + and - on battery side. tried to turn it on (it won’t work) so I turned it off and found out it was a short there. I fixed the short but from this moment, the driver gives only 200ma to the led. No modes no settings, nothing seems to work. Don’t you know if I’ve destroyed it completely or if is it possible to somehow fix it? Thank you.
Ok try to do some pictures tomorrow but I think, nothing is visibly wrong (other than my poor soldering ;-)). Even no ” magic smell”. I wonder if it could be too much heat during soldering the spring?
I have a convoy S2+ that I was trying to put one of the RGB tail caps in. I have 3 of them and I tried the switch in all of them. And the convoy with the H17F Dr Jones driver is the only light that it sort of works in. Except the RGB doesn’t stay on. It flickers for a second and then stays off. It didn’t work at all in the other 2 convoy’s.
I know ILC-0 RGB works with LD-x4 driver, I can't guarantee for other drivers, especially since they usually even don't have proper bleeder (RGB is power hungry compared to single colors).
I'm not sure. There is also 3000K "available" (3month lead time) and price is higher, but it looks interesting. If there is enough interest I would try to get 3000K first (mixing with 5700K in quads/hex would give very nice ~4300K tint,maybe even/probably under BBL).
70CRI, but if tint is anything like 4000K (and I believe it is even better/closer to BBL since low CCT LEDs tend to be closer to BBL in general), it would still look great with crazy output.
I’m sure tint mixing with 3000K and 5700K would look great. Recently I did a lot of tint mixing in multiple led flashlights. But the 4000K Luxeon V would still be needed for single led flashlights.
Neven,
I’m thinking about modding a C8 with one of my UV leds. They run upto 3A @ 4.8V.
Would an LD-A4 be a good fit for running the emitter at full power from a single decent 18650?
