Well, on the plus side it looks like the switch is on a separate board and the driver is held in place by a retaining ring. So a driver swap should be pretty straight forward.
Exceptā¦ Thereās no mention on whether this is using a 6V or 3V XHP50.2. But based on that really flat runtime graph, Iām thinking 6V with a boost driver. So I think youād either need a new boost driver or to swap the LED to a 3V.
That X2 UI -- tighten to turn ON, loosen to turn OFF? Wow, this is going back. Guess they have no faith in their parasitic drain. Probably this firmware was poorly written for a power switch on the tail.
Ugh, I completely missed that chart header :person_facepalming: Honestly, from what I can see in the picture (not much), it looks too flat to be a buck driver (or a boost for that matter)ā¦ youād think youād see a coil sticking up. Must just be good regulation.
Agreed. I really like the form factor. But this is crying for new firmware.
I missed it too for the first time, and I had to go back again, to check that and the UIā¦ And, yes, it seems that a new UI/driver would be a good thing to do!
The host, however, seems great, and that makes the light attractive, at least for me!
If I didn't have a full bench of mod lights, I'd go for this one with a driver replacement or piggyback. For $25 it would be a no-brainer, but $35 and Ali shipping now, ugh... I'm getting to 6 weeks on 2 Ali orders, month since last updates
Working on my HK04, Nitenumen TK-35, probably have bout 10 other mod lights opened up, plus projects...
