Modded a "D10" headlamp, summary:
- LH351D 3500K, 95 CRI, from Simon, on a 20 mm SinkPAD II
- used a Quadrupel custom driver FET+1 PCB, reflowed the parts
- the Quadrupel driver include 2 added switch LED's that light up behind the green rubber which lets just enough light through
- used a Carlco ~30 deg frosted wide spot bought from LEDSupply (part #10140) - it's a perfect fit height wise, needed some sanding down on the outer edge to fit
Parts, stock and new:
Sanded down the shelf, removed most of the anodizing, smooth to 2000 GRIT:
Stock driver:
New driver, used a SIR404DP FET (no need to go any better). The resistor marked 103 is the 10K resistor for the switch LED's:
I got a ton of these switches in various heights, so found one matching the stock switch height. The LED's are white - figured the green boot would make it green anyway:
This is the charging board. Quadrupel did a great job designing this driver for a perfect fit, and retaining the stock charging circuit:
Backside of the charging circuit board is the batt+ spring, leaving it stock:
The Carclo frosted wide spot, though it's XM size, the tight fit of the optic (sanded down to snugly fit), and the tight fit of the MCPCB should get the LED centered well.
The assembled driver. Just had to solder the 2 stock wires from the charging board to the driver. Again, Quadrupel did a great job accommodating the charging:
Fitting worked out about perfect:
MX-4 and sanded the SinkPAD II smooth (it needed it), dremel'ed down the corners of the MCPCB slightly to fit tight. All cleaned up:
All assembled and working, in OFF with switch LED's on max:
Moon level, switch LED's on low (visible in the dark):
The Wurkkos HD20 strap fits this perfectly, and can adjust the tilt angle. Much better than the stock strap:
On a 35E, it does 5.75 amps on turbo, which is fine - I don't need lots of power for using this on the bench. Standby drain is 180 uA with the switch LED's on max.
Ohhh - of course it's running Anduril 2
