Bear with me, I’m still researching my Convoy S2/S2+ build. I feel like this should be the first thing to figure out.
I want a useable, daily purpose light, to supplement my Lumintop Tool AAA for when I need something more powerful. I love my Nichia high CRI emitters, I hear they run hotter.
Is there any real world use benefit to building a triple over a single? Or will it just end up burning myself while dicking around outside in the middle of the night?
From what I’ve read so far, it seems most people build super high powered triples in these bodies with powerful drivers for the cool factor. I’m not in it for the cool factor.
Can a reasonable light be built with a triple in an S2/S2+ body? At that point would it have just been easier to achieve similar results with a single?
I understand custom firmwares can basically limit output to what I consider a “reasonable” level, but at that point why even bother with the triple?
What advantages if any would running a triple at lower power have over a single at higher power? Or vice versa?
Or am I completely missing something here and we have finally figured out a way to run triple emitter in S2 sized lights at super high powers without setting ourselves on fire?
