I see, thank you for the inputs, I’ll get some of these 5A drivers.
By the way, I have a couple questions if you don’t mind
What driver Simon sells his 519a S2s with?
Just want to have an idea of the heat these will pump out, also, efficiency is a bigger concern to me than sheer output but if should they be the same, at the same brightness, I wouldn’t mind have a little extra oomph at all, I just wouldn’t like to sacrifice efficiency at the same middle brightness levels which is most of my use time.
What are the architectures Simon uses in these drivers, are they buck boost, linear, linear + fet…?
Hi Simon. The 17mm forward switch I got is a bit different from the one pictured. the switch has a black top instead of white top and the mcpcb has 1 center hole instead of 5 center holes which is exactly like the 16mm switch pcb. it measures just under 16mm like your 1288 16mm switches.
Is there a way to get LEDs cheaper?
If you get 10 pcs the price is $2-3 but I want to try various LEDs and tints.
You have to buy per piece and 519a for instance is $7.50 for one. If you buy multiple the price doesn’t decrease.
I once made a suggestion to the luminus company that they would make some SST40 SFT40 warm white and neutral white.
So far, this suggestion has not been adopted.
