Is there any increase in heat risk from using an H10 battery (10A drain rate), with linear regulation as opposed to the existing FET in the TS10?

Do you know when Wurkkos will start shipping the silver/white ones?

No…as said, it’s totally fine. The driver is a good one and the light as a package is made to handle what you can throw at it. That, but also those Samsung emitters are the “usual” types that are used in most lights and we have been using and abusing for over a decade as “we” began to push emitters harder, challenging the datasheets’ max figures, etc. We have lots of experience and tests with that one and most other emitters. These little micro chippy smd emitters from Latticepower don’t have that testing that we’re aware of, and they’re also constructed differently so they can’t handle as much heat and/or need probably more attention to heat dissipation than what we give other emitters/flashlight designs in general. But that said, we still don’t know for sure why one emitter in one light failed (we know that Zumlin believes his similar Nichia E21A emitters that he swapped into his TS10 host failed due to a poor quality reflow (soldering) and another failed after being toasted too hot on his hotplate…so not much to arrive at any conclusions here, and other people (including myself) are turboing this light with an H10 cell just fine so far).

Seems to be a lot of confusion and possibly some misinformation floating around the internet right now because of this as to cells and circuits. But generally, with most light designs and healthy available cells to buy, it’s not a big issue - just some differences in light output for some. We don’t know fully yet about the TS10 but your D4SV2 will be happy with anything you can put into it.

As a side note example, when you ordered that light from Hank he matched the driver design/output with the emitters you picked. If you had picked something like the E21A or 219B emitters, he would have used a different driver that puts out less current because those two emitters don’t like the same amount of heat that other emitters can cope with. Most light designs take all of this stuff into account and are tested for awhile before being sold to the public, so what you get should be fine and if there are special cautions they’ll usually state such (like no 14500 in a light designed for 1.5v AA cells…using matched high drain/low resistance cells in a multi-cell light…protected cells in a light that uses cells in series instead of parallel…etc).

No. The heat generated by LEDs in direct drive far exceed the heat created by the linear driver here.

Thank you very much guys.
This helps to put my mind at ease.

Anyone know if the tail cap is removable or if it’s glued like the bezel? I got a tail switch that’s not clicking down consistently and was trying to see if I could fix it.

I have one that was received with glue in the tailcap and one that was not. I have read that they should all be glued, though.

It’s glued like the bezel.
When the tail cover is removed, professional tools are required to reposition and install the spring.
If it affects your normal use, please told customer service and show us the specific problem.
We will refund or send new one today.

I haven’t tried removing the tailcap, but I did remove the bezel.

It had a small amount of blue threadlocker. It was easy to unscrew the bezel by applying grip tape to the head and bezel for extra leverage. If the tailcap is glued the same it should be fairly easy to remove.

How is the current draw differ between the aux LED color?

Hey, we haven’t even received the previous batch. :slight_smile:

I even haven’t received shipping notification from aliexpress for the second batch 4000k ones!

I have not either, ordered first day they dropped.

I'll wait for now, see if they come out with a linear driver (shouldn't take too long, they're easy to design) then when they manage to upgrade the driver I'll buy two (good & evil, silver with ice blue aux & black + red)

I totally missed this one - when will there be more?
Primarily looking for 4000k and ice blue secondary.

Have anybody measured the parasitic drain of TS10 HI AUX / low aux / off aux ?
There is a this thread on reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlight/comments/vq2w2n/my_ts10_went_from_42v_to_34v_in_80_hours_with_no/

I took some measurements of the drain of my TS10 with orange aux before.

Aux off: 5uA

Orange aux on low: 123uA

Orange aux on high: 7.8mA

There seeems to be a problem with low voltage protection as mentioned in that reddit thread.

yes and LVP, as the user on Reddit said their battery was @ 2.4v

my sample I hadn't tested, but because the orange auxiliary LEDs are So Bright, I have kept my aux LEDs on low and didn't notice the drain at all.
