Ordered … Thanks

This will work great with my Chromebook.

That Wuben E6 looks interesting for that price… It’s a shame about the trash UI. Double click goes to strobe instead of turbo, and no shortcut to low.

It’s a shame about the trash simple UI.

There, I fixed it for you

With that UI it’s basically like a mechanical switch light with memory that can’t be turned off. I know it’s a thrower so it’ll probably just be used on high anyway. It’s a cool looking host though.

Edit: Dude I know I’m a douche in this thread but I’m a fan of yours. I’m going to be all over that SP10s Anduril that you made happen. I have Babka on a few of my lights as well.

The Sunset Projecter appears to be way better quality than the one shown by Big Clive. The body is all aluminum. The led mcpcb held by thermal glue and appears to be properly heatsynced to the body. I didn’t remove the ‘pill’ because the flimsy screws that attach to body were over tightened and got stripped. There’s no mention of it but the UI has 3 buttons 1 off, 1 up and 1 down. It has stepped [click] and smooth [click hold] ramping brightness and there’s no visible PWM in camera. usb measurement off: 5v 0.003A floor: 5v 0.137A ceiling: 5v 1.3A led measurement floor: 2.46v 0.011A ceiling: 3.30v 1.082A solid shelf !{height:500px; width:500px}https://i.imgur.com/ec5SgJr.jpg! driver !{height:500px; width:500px}https://i.imgur.com/BiLuvvG.jpg! !{height:500px; width:500px}https://i.imgur.com/jGJAtYi.jpg!

WTF? Got mine and it's total junk! The glass aspheric is loose, just banging around in the housing and the LED is the cheap crap version - not as pictured, and I don't have to worry about it burning down the house because clicking the "1" switch it has, not 3, does nothing anyways.

Least I don't have to worry about measuring amps or lumens because both are ZERO!

No, I'm not upset...

Seriously, I'll take a looksy but with the old style XTE or something like that, with a resistor sitting on the alum MCPCB, I think there's no driver per say, just power that supposed to be provided by the sealed up clicker, but it ain't happening.

No sweat, man. If everyone wanted the same thing, BLF would get pretty boring! I agree that it’s not my favorite UI, but at least it’s easy to use (yes, a caveman could do it!) and doesn’t use some hold-for-off crap (looking at you, Wuben E05 which I otherwise love).

And yeah, I’m stoked that the Anduril SP10 is finally happening. I was truly shocked when I heard that Sofirn had obtained the chips and was ready to finalize the boards.

Nichia 219B lips and that's a 6000K skin tone if I've ever seen one. Lots of basement time for this fella. Needs more lumens.

[Tom_E]

Alright, this is kind of funny. How do you screw up the simplest LED light in the world?

What is that resistor doing there? No, must be a driver somewhere

Hhmm, not here:

How about in the switch assembly? No...

Oops, the great factory soldering job didn't hold up too well:

That's easily fixable - I probably broke it when I inadvertently pulled on the cable to undo it from the USB connection. No strain relief, nothing.

So what happened to the driver? It doesn't exist. That 2.4 ohm mounted on the MCPCB is about all it does.

So bottom line, the LED isn't working - tried it direct from a bench PS. Probably broke from the glass lens pounding on it in shipping. They attempted to glue it down from glue traces on the plastic retainer ring and the glass edge.

So how cheap can you build a light? Can anyone beat this one?

After I complained about the UI of that Wuben E6 I still bought one.

It just looks cool…

Here tis; great little power supply for $106. 1st pic is the cord case that came with it; the only other accessory was the wall charger. Did great on my 120W panel.

Isn’t 100W the max on the solar input? What panel do you have anyways?

I’m looking at grabbing this 100W panel possibly Amazon.com

[flightless22]

Wow, that’s disappointing… what a crapshoot.
