:beer:
I just want more output.. 0:) For a thrower of this size I dont need all the fancy ramping (DrJones awesomeness) that I would take on a more general use light. TK61 serves one purpose to me. Maximum throw. UI is not that imporant. When that is said. I actually think the TK61 UI is quite nice. Especially for this type of light. Its even got a nice momentary feature now. The only thing I miss is the ability to cycle backwards through the modes. I even love the crazy strobe. It changes frequency. Which looks awesome. :D
All of my other throwers have more output then this light. And TK61 is the largest thrower that could easier shed off more heat. Even several of my smaller lights are driven harder than the R030 resistor modded TK61.
NEEDS MOARR POWAH! :D
[quote=ImA4Wheelr] Nice tear down, testing and mod info. That light sure looks like it has lots of potential. That MCU looks like it's probably right up tterev3's alley. [/quote]
When will you deliver HX-1175B with custom UI suited for electronic switches? Preferably two electronic switches. 0:) Are these just dreams, or could they become real? You probably know what backup driver I have in hand for this light in case I don't get output as I want.
I think the light have potential of 700+ kcd. Im just at stage one now.
[quote=DenBarrettSAR] Nice light and teardown :) Wonders why you said: " I added another R030. *Do not do this.* " >) [/quote]
Because Turbo does not go higher. Only the lower modes. Basically you mess up mode spacing more, and low becomes higher without any increase in peak output. No purpose in doing it, unless you are into bad mode spacing.. :D
Unless someone finds out how to make Turbo increase more. It seems like a single R030 is around the max limit of what is useful to add based on what I have seen so far.
[quote=M4D M4X] did you measure the vf? [/quote]
Nope. But djozz have vF numbers here.
