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.
Perhaps completely irrelevant to this forum and this thread, but LUX-RC created a programmable driver using a very clever optical system with a light sensor on the driver, one would configure the modes and other settings on their website which then will generate a series of strobes and you would place the flashlight against your monitor receiving the flash signals, similar to how IR remotes works. To me this is much more robust than bluetooth and truly universally compatible, no need to write a separate app for it and hoping for device compatibility.
A true masterpiece of the flashlight hobby at a ridiculous price range that is inaccessible for most.
For a decade I hoped to finally be able to justify paying and waiting for one of their lights but now I have just given up. It’s simply out of my reach.
Uhh, yeah, we know about the LUX-RC tech. A LED is a diode and it can "read" light as well as output it. Some ATTiny85 drivers even wired in the input on pin #7 but never ended up using it. A design EE I worked with suggested it and I told TK and she dabbled with it for a while, but not sure how much success, but then at the time, there wasn't much code space available in the 85 MCU. Pretty cool because no additional sensors are needed.
If your measurements are correct, the T3’s new driver has a very poor efficiency
T3 100Lm / 2,1A
T2 115Lm / 1A
Is it possible that you accidentally swapped the 14500 / AA measurements?
I wanted to buy from the new driver so far, but this is disappointing. I also don’t like the fact that the output is as poor with 14500 as with AA.
Hello forum,anyone have experience with SFT70?,i’ve seen video of SST70,but none of the domeless version. I have one on the way,along with convoy xhp70 4,8a6v boost driver. Planning to set the led in my M21d. Any insight would be very helpful
Cheers
