Thanks gchart
Yes, I got them from CRX, I forgot to mention that :person_facepalming:
The aqua blue one already arrived with the split ring âembeddedâ, while the orange one (that arrived during the OL Contest due to the theme I had in my light) didnât have that. So I picked 2 thin drills and added a split ring to hold it to the lanyard. Thatâs why they are so bulky in some parts :person_facepalming:
Solarforce!
Black L2P with T head. Luxeon V2 4000k
Blue L2P. LH351D 5000k 90cri with cut and polished lens. I did it first time with this led and I can say that this is the easiest led to cut to dome.
Both have âBiscottiâ 5A driver.
I think I used too long copper stripe for blue L2P because I had a serious problem to push it. I hope I wonât have to pull it out because I donât know how to do it.
I did this build before âBarkuti described a problem with âBiscottiâ driverâ:ăconvoyăS21E XHP50.3 HI available now - #2554 by Barkuti, and I didnât even notice it. But everything works.
You can use plastic tubing 18-18.5mm diameter or what will clear the I.D of the battery tube, that will only contact the base of the aluminum pill and just pound/press it outâŚ
Iâm going to get such a tube⌠Once I used to take it out using 18350 and 18650 batteries, but this one sits so tight that Iâm not going to risk it.
Thanks hodor!
Well, the led4power driver fitted in without issues, as the original driver also has 17mm diameter (with 2 small flaps that fit the âpillâ, to avoid rotation).
There is no USB charging , because the new driver doesnât have it. The charging port is implemented in the original driver, so when I took it out, it stopped working.
The rubber cover is still there, though (I may need to glue it to prevent eventual water infiltration).
Even without charging, this is a great host to make a DIY pocket thrower with an Osram led (Convoy 18350s tubes fit ).
It may be kind of hard to center it correctly in case you donât have appropriate gaskets. The beam is not 100% perfect due to that, but it throws a lot
In those pics the EagleEye light looks like it has the best focus of all of them. Not sure if that is due to the smaller die and camera settings or if you are just being modest but I cant see anything wrong with it.
