The first and last thing I used my hot air station for was to try to remove and replace a spring on a tail switch board. I thought I had found such a cool method for this until i flipped the board over and realized i melted my Omten and it was about to fall off.
I guess a MCPCB is a bit more resilient but i’m scarred.
This looks like very nice bright flashlight, like a bigger version of Emisar D4! Do anyone have an idea of what the driver is and any photo of tail and driver?
I definitely not good enough to design driver, only putting together driver by soldering is ok :) You need to ask other forum member here to design new driver, but I am curious about this flashlight because it can be brighter than my (hopefully will work) convoy S2+ with XHP50.2 led and gxb172!
Not even really constant. Boost a 3000mAh 18650 to run a 6V emitter and you’ll likely be pulling 5-6A at the tail, good for what, 30-40 minutes? Higher capacity cell wouldn’t likely run it… so in the end not a lot different than an S2+ making 3000 lumens from a triple. Of course, the heat then throttles everything anyway so the picture painted by words like “sustainable” and “constant” aren’t really as applicable as it may seem.
Wondering if I should open my E07 to bevel the star and put fresh AS5 thermal grease underneath.
Not sure I should. Mine is an XPL HI version and it runs great. Servicing it to increase the thermal transfer might even be counter-productive if it means the outside of the head where it touches my hand gets hotter faster.
