Cold! COLD???? It was 16 deg. F in Amarillo this morning.... 5" of snow on the ground and a 20 MPH wind out of the north!!! Our high today is to be 34..... first time above freezing in about 4 days!!! TYLER DOESN'T GET COLD!!! Get my room ready, I'm headed for your house!!
Great work OL.... AS USUAL!!! Your craftsmanship, thought and patience are beyond belief!!!
I would see how the setup works with 9A first and for how long you get 9A. There is really not much lumen gain after 9A, but you generate a lot of extra heat... And heat is something you already have enough of at 9A..
Nice bonus is with higher amps there is also higher voltage so less for the 7135s to burn off, if I’m reading the chart correctly? If the trade off is lumen heat or driver chip heat, well ….
I dont believe you do not have a lathe hidden somewhere, even one driven by a horse on a treadmill. I’m telling you to go hide it now as I’m coming around later to bust this myth about you only using hand tools and a cheap drill press in your mods. Your workmanship and creativity which I hate to repeat myself is astonishing. I’m sending your TIR back along with some metal and stuff. I want to see what you create with it, not what I stumble myself through. :Sp
I think it’s too bright to be able to do a 1 meter reading and I don’t have the set up for longer distances.
EDIT: Lux at 1 meter - 40600 it's a large hot spot and the meter is only seeing a tiny portion of it, but I suppose it still reads correctly. I would like to see what it reads at 10 meters, but that won't happen.
There is some intensity fade comparing your 2 throw pics pic, but it still lights up so much downrange it is incredible. If you had a lightbox that light just might try to melt the box and meter before even got a reading reading. Thanks!
It’s embarrassing for me to read that. Don’t ever feel that way. No two people have the same skill set and they never will. I see some mods done here and I think, “I wish I had that skill level”. Believe me, there’s always someone better or more inventive. If you feel good when you have done a mod, then you have done well. If not, then just practice, nothing just falls into place, it’s years of practice before it can fall apart and still look ok.
Wow, this build is amazing. Pushing the mt-g2 hard in that large reflector creates a really nice beam. I love the custom made copper pill too, the quality and attention to detail is amazing.
