If anyone is looking for an easy emitter swap, here it is. I ordered an XP16 with an XP-L HI (part# L024) when I got my KR4. I also got some 95 CRI unmounted SST-20 but I have to get myself some solder paste before I can try those on my 12mm mpcb’s. The XP16 fit nice and tight after some sanding since the edges were tapered. So I think that is the better solution. Otherwise I would need some way to hold the mpcb tight against the pill, so would need a gasket or a thermal epoxy. I forgot to measure the reflector ID. The height of the XPL when everything was tightened up was perfect already with no extra parts anyways. I think the wires are what is touching the plastic washer at the reflector when everything it tight, so I may try some kapton or a thinner washer to experiment. You still need something, or else risk the wires shorting to the reflector. Probably the last time the driver would ever work, the probably didn’t design it with a dead short failure in mind. The Piston has plenty of travel still. The light still ramps properly. Which is annoyingly slow… I really want to make my own driver that can run Anduril. I need too so some board design again, been doing industrial automation too long.
OEM XP-G, Efest 14500. Wasn’t the D10 R2 supposed to have an XP-E? Did I get an old version relabeled as an R2?
And the 5000K XP-L HI, same Efest 14500. Gotta fix that gutter. Shitty pine tree came down over the winter. I would rather take leaves than have these stupid house killers.
