IDK if he sells bare emitters or on boards but Convoy has SST-40 5000K. I have a new M21B with one and the tint/temp is pretty good. Like a XP-L HD with twice the power: a little bit green and some tint shit but more than good enough for a thrower and much nicer than the angry blue 6500K.
Anyone know if the first original batch of BSM springs, the larger ones, would be enough to sustain turbo on the L6 until step down without using a bypass or second spring? I wasn't sure how to solder the smaller and larger spring together on the tail switch, so I just soldered the larger one. So far no problems, but just wanting to make sure it can handle the max current all the time?
Since there is nothing else to do right now, I’ve been working on my L6 plans again. I had the idea to turn down the stock reflector and use it with the BridgeLux Vero29… This required some repackaging of the components and careful design but I think I can make it work. Math and data sheets suggest that this should be around 7500lm at about 35w. Limiting factors being the fact I’m boosting from ~12v to ~40v and the thermals of the L6 head.
However, I was thinking it would probably be much easier to turn the light into a triple or quad XHP70.2 light if I can find an appropriate optic. Previously, I had considered using a stupid quantity of LH351s but that would have required custom MCPCBs where with a big led like the XHP70.2, I could probably just use standard stars.
So far, I haven’t been able to find a simple round optic for a big LED.
Has anyone got a spare L6 XHP 70(.2) centering ring?
I ordered an L6 reflector from fasttech and just read in another thread that fasttech doesn’t give you a centering ring. I couldn’t find them on Simon’s store and Kaidomain has them in bundles of 5 which I really don’t think I’ll need. I also can’t seem to find the diameter of the hole.
It’s not a step-down to lower mode, it regulates the current according to the temperature. It means the brightness is adjusted smoothly, not gradually. Honestly - it’s hard to notice when the temperature protection breaks in.
