Convoy T3 triple build

[James_C]

Are you referring to my post about T3 triple?

What did you mod today?

I swapped a triple from a Wurkkos TS10 into a Convoy T3. In a previous post I converted a TS10 into a single (I’ll have an update on that soon). So with the extra triple board, I wanted to first try reflowing new LEDs and then throw it in a different host. I couldn’t find a source for those tiny Nichia LEDs but I found “Samsung LH181B 3000K 90CRI SMD” on Digikey. This was my first time reflowing these and they were a little tricky. Good thing they are cheap and I bought extra because I ended up…

What MCPCB and optic did you pick? T3 triples are probably somewhat uncommon because they are much smaller diameter than the typical 20mm MCPCB and optic. I don’t believe you can really file those down enough to work.

So AFIK you’re left with the FWAA or Wurkkos TS10 MCPCB/optic setups. The former is quite pricey for what it is, and the latter requires a donor TS10 (unless maybe you ask wurkkos if you can buy them standalone). I had a donor TS10 setup because it converted one to a single TIR.

I’m happy to explain the spacer and drilling the shelf, but first you should be sure you have the MCPCB and optic sorted out.
