Too bad about Luminus not producing the SFT40 in lower CCT’s.
As for the 17mm 6V 4A driver (12 modes). The XHP 50.3 HI is exactly what I intend to use, in 5000K with OP reflector. Essentially, that’s my build plan for my upcoming S2+ MAO or Ti in 18350! If I could get that already built by you that would be supper! :sunglasses:
I just looked at the S3 and noticed the new batch also has rectangular threads… Simon, can we use the 18350 rectangular thread tubes from the S2+ with the new batch S3?
Simon, do you know what the coating thickness is on the MAO finish for your lights?
Also, have you noticed or tested thermal performance with the MAO? I’m reading that it can drastically lower thermal conductivity compared to anodizing depending on the thickness and the type of alloy. Of course it’s on the outside from where the heat is generated but just curious.
Those look like numbers for type III hard anodizing instead of the MAO. Is that correct? I guess the thickness can vary but looks like the standard is from 25 up to 150. HV seems to be 600 on the low end up to around 1400.
When I need try different Tir lenses I prefer have host with unscrewable head and integrated shelf similar T2 design.
(I would like if the mcpcb where even more raised to facilitate Led slicing)
The advantages are quick easy Tir Lens change, Led access and more space for larger drivers
than host pill based like S2+ where are necessary more operations and time.
Simon there will be a T2 style light 18650/350 compatible with threads and TIR lens used on S2+?
I don’t consider S3 for their recessed Led inside the head,a bit difficult for modding
Sorry, don’t understand this point. So, currently, Aliexpress has only 12FET+… options available. You say you’re not gonna sell 12FET, so, what does this option actually means then? 8A FET? 8A CC?
