Thrunite TN31 modding
Original throw about 95 kcd (with my under-reading luxmeter)
First experiment: XP-G2 3D with copper SinkPad
Throw about 1.6 x original, about 150+ kcd
Ceiling bounce 0.75 x original, about 800 lm
I didn't want to ruin the near perfect 3D NW tint, so the emitter has still it's dome intact.
Hotspot is now significantly smaller and brighter, but there is still some usable spill. And, more importantly: Tint is great for photography. Needless to say that I'm happy with this mod. :)
Second experiment: XP-G2 1A de-domed with copper SinkPad
Throw about 2.4 x original, about 220+ kcd (almost on par with my modded TF X6)
Ceiling bounce 0.70 x original, about 750 lm
Tint is significantly warmer than the original. Happy with this mod too.
Next experiment could be a domed & de-domed XR-E2 1A on SinkPad. Hmm.. Maybe I should order those emitters.
I might try also some de-domed XM-L for reference. Maybe even a XM-L2, let's see.
This thread will be updated with all experiments. Please stay tuned..
Thanks for reading. Feel free to ask if you have any questions about these mods.
