More light painting, this time projecting shadows with the Convoy L6.
Again, this was on high (turbo would have been too bright for this scene).
I ran the L6 on high (estimated 1300 lumens) continuously for a whole hour, and the head was barely warm - impressive!
Couldn´t resist any more, find a R100 resistor.
Led N4 5000k
Before mod with 2x Vappower 26650 4200mAh high drain.
4,17v 4,9A 65664 candela
Ceiling bounce 241 candela
Did a 20min temp test yesterday, 61°C, battery 48°C.
After mod with 1x R100 resistor.
4,18v 6,99A 89728 candela.
Ceiling bounce 305 candela.
Temp after 8min 60°C.
Don´t know how to calculate lumens.
Hope it´s in the right tread this time
Kusie, the XHP-35 is also a quad die emitter, but wired in 4S instead of 2S2P and the dies are much closer together. This is why it’s a 12V emitter and also why it’s a better thrower than an XHP-50/70. It’s essentially an XHP-50 that’s been tweaked by pushing the dies closer together and wiring it differently.
Still though, a single de-domed XM-L2 will throw further, and a single XP-G2 will throw even further than that, due to the smaller surface area of each one by perspective.
The large XHP-70 is not really great at throwing, despite it’s output levels.
My L6 is here, ready at hand, and my S70 is in Mississippi, left with in-laws. That should say what I think about the comparison.
I finally put a 26mm fet in my L6 with moppydrv firmware. It runs pretty nice…quite a bit brighter than before. I ended up cutting an XP-32 in half and cutting/grinding it to form two quarter moon shaped pieces of copper and created a shelf for the driver to sit on…worked out pretty well.
I’m looking for R100 and R120 resistors. What power rating should I be looking for? Looks like they’re available from 1/16W up to 2W. Are there any small assortments available anywhere?
Would these be the best resistors for this light, if i could get higher which one theirs a lot of options on the website. Thanks for your help, modding with resistors is new to me.
My in-laws live in or around Lucedale, about 30 miles West of Mobile. I left them the S70 as a houselight, an XR-55 doing 1560 lumens as a truck light, a baked C8 with a green emitter for hog hunting and the 2 girls got a SS AAA clicky and a Titanium Thrunite twisty, also AAA. Had to throw in an Xtar charger and the cells of course.
Oh yeah, also left a custom made D-2 fixed blade with the older boy to take care of said hogs…
