I don’t see the appeal of that mode spacing. On the three 12 group lights I’ve tried, even 20% and 100% seem too close. There would be almost no difference between 50% and 100% from most emitters.
To you maybe, zo me and others with a specific work demand yes.
As i mentioned previously in this thread, i’m running Nichia B35AM in S21B with 6V/3A 12group driver and a lack of 40-50% mode in the middle is causing me a headache cause i’m constantly switchi g from 20% to 100%. Higher medium output would do the trick. I need 800lumens and 400Lm is just not enough and 1800lm is too much.
I see they are listed as N5-CE-VJ, where the 'CE' is 5700K, but the worse tint bin possible for 5700K - highest above the BBL and coolest ... . We really want the exact opposite corner bin for 5700K: CG. But for output bin, the N5 is higher than listed in the datasheet.
Hhhmmm, not sure I'll go for these. Only couple left in qty 4, 1 in qty 5.
Yea, won't really know til we see it. Theoretically leaning towards green. Ohh - was looking at the SST-40 datasheet but see the N5 bin is listed for the SFT-40, and the tint binning is the same.
You can get the M21A host, the 20mm 6v driver and a XHP70.2 and do it yourself but the better driver for the 70 is the 22mm 6v driver. The lower amperage of the 20mm driver doesnt really take full advantage of the 70.
Can we have group with: 1% - 3% - 10% - 35% - 100? I feel like sometimes 1 is not enough and 10% is too much. 3% mode in between would be perfect.
Maybe 1% as moonlight/firefly mode and 3–10–35–100 as low/medium1/medium2/high?
Also, would it be very difficult and/or expensive to create driver where users can program their own groups? For example bluetooth connectivity and smartphone app or usb cable and PC/web app? I’m curious.
lucidrv2 firmware on H17fx driver allows you to program any mode order and number you want. It’s all done on the light though, not via Bluetooth or anything. Bluetooth in a flashlight just seems excessive to me. But, having flashing pads for custom firmwares on Simon’s lights would be a welcome change.
