I may be missing something, but why not just put the driver in the tail? Most of these FET and 7135 drivers work by applying PWM (and in the case of the 7135, variable resistance) between LED- and BAT-. The connection from BAT+ to LED+ is direct; it doesn’t even touch the driver board in the case of the new version 17DDm.
Regardless, this looks awesome. Please put me on the interest list.
I agree.
I set out to mod it but i have put it aside for later…
Yeah, it’s a shame they didn’t use a metal PCB (alu or copper), that would have solved the heat problem it has.
But when you put a triple in it, you gain space for a MCPCB on the shelf.
And since this thing here has a triple set up, i thought it might be just as short as the DQG.
This is really going to be a multilingual enterprise. I guess 3 languages is 36 times more challenging than 2 languages.
At my age you want lumens. If there is to be a CW version, put me on the list for one.
The add-on in my eyes automatic translates CW to other parts of the spectrum. 8^)
To compensate for my eye-sight I have certain other means of perception.
In my crystall ball I can see versions with wood tubes (RBD) and carbon tubes (CRX) due to the double tube.
