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?
I think XHP50.3-HI is an excellent choice. Will you stock it in multiple CCT’s? I would love to install it in a C8+ in 4000K.
Does it mean that the S21d running the 12A driver will be hotter than the 8A previously?
When do we expect the 8A buck driver to be in stock?
Agreed, xhp50.3 HI would be a great choice, especially if some warmer color temps will be available.
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.
If you need a 17mm B35AM driver, I can produce a 17mm 6V 2.2A dedicated driver.
It is more dangerous to use a 4A drive.
yes, thread is suitable ,but the S3 is a little blunish ,the S2+ 18350 tube is a little greenish
I don’t know why XHP50.3 XHP70.3 has been on the market for so long, but we can only buy white light.
no ,Affected by voltage and internal resistance, as well as temperature control, the current actually drops very quickly.
About one month ,and new version has spring.
Thickness 15-25 microns, hardness about HV400
I’d be interested in lights with 90 cri versions, if available.
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?
I believe another user was asking to buy the parts separately instead of the whole complete light
Awesome, I’m not really so worried about matching colors, I can actually just use a different color for the 18350 tube.
i mean ,i can install 12A fet driver in flashlights ,but i am not allowed to sell the driver seperately
