[Design with Terry]Wurkkos TS32 15000+ Lumens Flashlight Concept

Any news about this model?

Xhp50.3 HI in the center does sound like a great idea!

Proper regulation would be a great addition, no more FET direct drive.

So it would be 2S2P battery arrangement if it uses XHP50.3 hi?

any changes of plan, for the dual switch, now that the Anduril tint ramping and instant channel switching firmware is out there (looking at the hank KR4).

Those features aren’t new in Anduril. LT1 & K9.3 have had those for quite awhile. Wurkkos knew that, and still decided to forego Anduril and use this dual switch design instrad, unfortunately.

What is the current status of this? Also does anyone have a ballpark guess where the price would be?

This is sounding like a great light!

Wurkkos is still working on the circuit/driver design. No estimated date of completion for this yet.

I was just thinking about a light like this. Definitely interested!

Updated

Do you already know which LED to use in the final product?

12*LH351D +1*SFT40

We need more pics of the prototype please.

This is a exciting light concept. Can’t wait to see how it develops in 2022.

Is there a interest list for this light, I like to get one when available.

Almost looks like the bezel plate for the HD15 got reused as the switch plate on this light.

Having thought about the design, I think it would be best usable, if the flood and the throw section have each their own controller and their own Anduril2.
The two buttons could be arranged in a way so both can be pressed at the same time, if needed. So, the user could fire up the LEDs at one time or each segment alone.
The thermal mass has a bit of inertia, so if both controllers are sensing heat from the mass, they each can level off the power as best as possible, without the risk of starting an oscillating system, where one side regulates down while the other picks up the now free dissipation capacity and ramps up, and so on. The thermal mass will act as a damper on this.

High thermal mass actually kinda makes it harder to avoid oscillation. Regardless though, Anduril’s thermal algorithm is very averse to oscillations, so it shouldn’t be an issue. It has pretty strong dampening built in already, to keep the output relatively flat. It can oscillate a little sometimes on really hot lights, but the amplitude decreases rapidly, typically down to zero or near-zero within just one cycle. So it’s less of an oscillation and more of an overshoot-and-correction.

If there were two independent drivers in one light, they would likely react to each other but settle fairly quickly to a stable level.

The light isn’t using Anduril though. I’m not sure exactly how that was decided, but I think it may be because I’m not a circuit designer so I can’t just send a schematic plus firmware and have it manufactured. Or maybe it’s just because of the chip shortage… I don’t know.

Oh, you would be absolutely right, if the thermal mass also was coupled with high thermal dissipation. Then the slippage introduced by the mass would lead to oscillation with a LED power controller that does not have the dampening capabilities of Anduril2.
Actually, here we have just mass and very little dissipation. Simply spoken, the blob of metal will just heat up and stay so for a comparably long time. Referred to as inertia.
