I like the form factor of the MT07S and i would like to boost the current and upgrade the UI for a ramping function.
So i decided to get another driver from Lexel and put a FET driver with NarsilM inside.
I started to unmount the driver :
i’m waiting the driver. I’ll take pictures and beamshots
i can bypass the resistor like for L6 on this driver ? i wanted to test because i was waiting the new driver.
Do you think that’s the R082 or R056 resistors in left down corner ?
Did the spring bypass gain any current and if it did by how much please?
I got guys that read my review of the MT07S that are going nuts to know if that little dimple under the board is present on this model.
I did not do a complete breakdown as I have plans to try and increase current a bit as well...
It arrived with the emitter centered perfectly so until I am ready to actually tear it down to make any changes I would not open the pill.
I did some thermal image testing on the stock light and that dimple made no difference as far as too much heat under the emitter. I can not find that it makes any difference of any kind on this light.
This should be a simple mod if the cells are 2S2P. I've put in NarsilM on a OSHPark driver in both the MT07 and MT03 with XHP70.2's - both got great results.
Bad news is that MT07S is 4S setup ! to drive led at 6V…strange no?
Well the bad news is that i got a TA driver with NarsilM from LEXEL and i ordered it in 2S. So i decided to to mod also the PCB battery to run in 2S2P and not in 4S1P.
It now run the XHP70 with 1.5mm² wires, all springs bypassed and the new driver.
I love the ramping feature! and output has increased from 205 lux in my ceiling bounce test (5000lm claimed from Haikelite) to now 440 lux. I have double output now.
Output is the same as my L6 modded with TA driver 30mm narsilM and XHP70.2 P2 Bin
I’ll do a test tonigh but seems promising
I do like Haikelite product because they are very well machined and reflector quality is very GOOD !!!
The only lack is the ramping function in their drivers.
I also checked the MCPCB and no solder or other dust on the backside:
Scroll above that... I want to meet the machinist that can make that head from a single piece of stock including the shelf and not have that mark.
I'm no machinist by far but, all that I asked said the same thing. The shelf would need to be added separately after making the head if you didn't want to see that... Or fill it...
