Yep
Any chance the B35AM emitter/ MCPCB and driver could work in the K1?
In my two DM11 samples (WE & B35AM) I didnât notice (but didnât specifically look for) any differences in the optics. What I did notice was that the B35 version had little riser pegs in the optic leg holes in the MCPCB to raise the optic up. That seems to jive with what Lux is saying. There are photos in the emitter & beam section of my review. You can see the little red riser pegs and you can see the installed B35 optic sticking out further than the W1 optic.
Edit: I tried to find a way to copy the image URLâs to put them directly in this post but I canât figure out how. Theyâre part of an image comparison and a slideshow in wordpress.
Email him with your order number and preferred build asap if you have not already.
I did and have to say; Hank is very fast, he already did reply!
Hank definitely sent me a green tint bin with the 5700k lh351d he sent me. It looks as bad as some olights Iâve seen.
Hmm. First post here is a complaint.
Yeah, he came here only to complain?
BTW, i.m.o. Hank is one of the most respected suppliers, especially when it comes to emitter types, tints and bins.
Looks like lightweaver regrets his choice.
LH351Ds reads quite bit greener than whatâs what theyâre supposed to according to their tint bin, Hank has Q2 IIRC, I have some Q1 from Convoy and in a beaded (very diffusing) TIR lens they can read between 0.004 and 0.0065, according to the bin they should read between â0.004 and 0.002, those are integrated measurements sure but still thatâs a big difference, especially with diffusing optics.
Hopefully the Nichia 519A will be a better option at all CCTs (already the case at 4500K from Bob_mcbob test), and especially at high CCTs to replace the green LH351Ds.
I wish the 351D wasnât that way, but it is. I had one batch of 5000Ks that when shaved looked okay, but I always felt the color reproduction was less than stunning. Rosy XPLs make more sense to me in a lot of apps. I have some 80 or 85CRI 5A3 XPLs in a triple that take the cake over any Samsung Iâve come across. YMMV.
Also hoping the 519a can take some amps. Waiting on mine to show up and test.
Here is a pic of the spacers that were in the holes where the opticâs legs normally go. They are almost flush with the aux pcb. DM11 B35AM, shipped about a week after release.
They are soft, feel like silicone.
Thanks for posting elendur. Is it just the pic or are they sort of irregular cuts of an o-ring? Iâd expect something a little more precise. Maybe this is just a stopgap for nowâŚ
You are seeing correctly. I trimmed them down a little, even shortened a bit to make them equal length. I guess itâs good that it can compress a bit while screwing the bezel down?
In reality, as long as they are close in length, the glass should square up the TIR against the âsquishâ of the spacers. Interesting solution
My post is on topic and informative. The only complaint I see thus far here is a couple off topic and non informative posts from yourself and one other. Cheers.
Without substantiation, this is your personal interpretation.
Please show us some pics or measurements to verify your findings.
At the cost of not being able to register the optics assembly with the PCB. Installing the optics assembly requires precise placement of the legs unto the rubber bungs (they do look like O-ring cuts), without tactile feedback and retention, and hoping the legs donât slip off when the lens and bezel is being screwed down. Not engineered for efficient (re)assembly.
Itâs good that theyâre made of compressible material though, if assembled correctly the optics assembly should be held square with the lightâs axis with the bungs providing tension but not positioning.
They are place inside the holes of the aux pcb and mcpcb, where the opticâs leg would normally go, so it is easy to reassemble. Their length makes them almost flush tonthe surface so itâs easy to reassemble. I shaved mine just a tiny bit to make them equal and it was also easier to have the legs stay aligned to the holes for the first screw turn and I doubt it affected the beam.
