I continue to be surprised by the wide range of topics covered in this group buy thread.

I had salad and chicken nuggets for dinner.

Joking apart, I’m really looking forward to this. I think I’m in the LH351B camp myself. I hope it’ll be a thing.
Also, sorry if that has been asked before, but in the finished product, do we have to desolder the wires to the MCPCB to flip the driver over for flashing the controller, or is there some more elegant way that doesn’t involve taking a 380 °C iron dangerously close to the emitters?

Yep, pretty cool isn’t it. On a given day…… no telling what will be available for learning. .

anyone know of other lights in existence that use the LH351D emitter?

YLP Panda 2M CRI headlamp review (2x LH351D, 4000K, CRI90)

Disclaimer: The YLP Panda 2M CRI was provided for testing by manufacturer free of charge [image] The Panda 2M CRI is YLP’s high CRI version of their Panda 2M headlamp, which replaces the arguably not so great Cree XP-G3 emitters with Samsung LH351Ds. They are specced at a warmish neutral 4000K color temperature with a high color rendering index of 90+ and a maximum output of 700 lumens. Just like the YLP Gryphon G180 I tested earlier, the Panda doesn’t join the lumen race of major brands. In i…

Don’t mind Sharpie Tom Tom. He just really likes to complain and argue. Even got banned for it, but he eventually made a new account. He has been stirring up trouble on BLF for three years now, since around the end of 2015.

Thanks for the public “outing” TK Not.

For the record, and to correct your recollection, as Sharpie I eventually decided to withdraw from here, for a build-up of reasons, and to take a long break.

I manually deleted all my posting history, which took some time (no other mechanism to do so). Finality. Then sb56637 closed that account, permanently.

It was my decision, my choice.

When I decided to re-engage as Tom Tom, for a fresh start, I informed several close contacts of the situation. Including you.

Those who needed to know, knew.

Others could guess. Several have. And if they are interested I confirm on PM. It’s never been a secret. But they have all respected my privacy. Except for you.

Tom Tom, I view you as the biggest complainer of the forum. Often negative and very vocal about it.
But non-aggressive towards other members. And often constructive.
So…from my point of view your transformation was a success. :+1:

[CRX]

A lot of what he says is quite correct but he comes across at times as so dreary, negative and repetitive it gets tiresome.
I put two and two together a while ago as to who it was when the old bluntness started showing through.
Keep that in check and you will be alright here Tom Tom, the forum is very forgiving.

[mortuus]

can we leave tom tom alone now ? it gets us nowhere and is way off-topic for this thread…

[CRX]

Yes, we wouldn’t want to go off topic in this thread

Heavens no, that would be tragic. Especially since the thread has stayed so close to topic thus far…

I had forgot all about TK’s Tom Tom post, I was back focused on the light again. Then Tom brings it up and now it’s topical again. I think he shot hiself in the foot by bringing it up.

Now back to the FW3A.

Not planning on modding. The only exception being a possible LED change in one (1) of mine. The stock XP-L HI’s will remain in the others.

I’ve been thinking on that too, I would like to get some Luxeon V 4000K into it!
Recently, I started thinking about the possibility to add a tritium vial in the tail cap, but that may be dependent on the thickness of the metal (to dig a place for the trit)

I’m probably going to try and electroplate this light.

I’d love myself a copper plated light, or a silver plated light.
