Remember to flip LED polarity in these situations!
I remember looking at this light a while back but passed on it as it can’t tailstand and only has one mode. The anodization colors are quite unique though. I hope the High CRI version will make an appearance at Amazon US. Skilhunt store asks for $6 shipping on a $11 light… ughh
edit: yes I realize $6 shipping is reasonable, no need to point that out to me.
Is there an acceptable thermal path?

Relative to this thing’s power, yes. But certainly not if you’re looking to convert it to a hot rod. I have a full tear down on the first page.
I wonder what resistor level would give a good 25-30 lumens for a few hours? That would be a good balance for output vs runtime. That would be a fairly easy mod to swap that resistor.

It’s a PAM2803 so feedback voltage is 95mV. Current to LED = 0.095 volts / R_SET. Either figure out the desired current, and therefore the resistance… Or maybe just quadruple the existing resistance.

I got the high CRI version from Amazon. Slate blue is the only color available now but that was my top pick anyhow. It is a little more expensive at $12.90.

Woah! I searched before posting earlier. I didn’t see ANY E3A on Amazon at all. I guess my fingers disobeyed me or my eyes deceived me. Ordered the Slate Blue High CRI. I had an Amazon GC to use up, too. Big thanks for the heads up!
Its also under $14 on eBay
I see this now is available in a “high CRI” emitter option from Skilhunt. Anyone know if this is also a LH351D emitter? I can’t find any specs on emitter or color temp
B, not D.
Hmm, don’t recall the color temp.
Smaller emitters make sense in these lights anyhow. After seeing some reviews of this light and seeing the CRI version I’m actually interested in it now
Get one, or more. Go for the slate bluegray (buk extra, but HA3 vs 2).
I was (still am) seriously impressed with the critter, all the attention to details from the lanyard loop to the pebbled TIR lens.
About to break down and buy this and the m200 as well. Only 1 XPL cw left on Amazon… I’ll swap emitters inevitably so no reason waiting for a 351d version. Really impressed with Skilhunt and honestly don’t know why they don’t get more attention here.

Until recently, their UIs. They’re looking more attractive as a brand with each new light lately.
Great UI in the E3A: twist on, twist off.
And yeah, the M200 has a great UI. There was something about the M150 that was kind of a turn-off, but forgot what it was. But the M200 is killer.
M150 had two UI config options. One for hold-for-off and like 7 modes. The other option was click-for-off with 4 modes. The weird thing was it ramped up and back down instead of looping around.
About a month or two ago they updated the M150 UI (making it more like the M200?) but I haven’t messed with the updated UI.
Yeh, it was the up’n’down thing I didn’t like. Think the original SP31 had that, so gifted it away.
Just broke down and bought the nw E3A
Will report back in a few days
We need an E21A 2000~4500k 3 modes of this light,since Sofirn stopped develope.
