Inside Convoy T2

Trying to measure the current drained from the battery whith an ampmeter did some very weird things at max brightness. I guess that the voltage loss in the measurement shunt was too high and made the driver to enter a very fast ON-OFF loop.

So i measured the voltage across a (very) low R shunt and got 3A max with a freshly charged eneloop.

Changed the 0.2 ohms limiting resistor in the driver of a second T2 (stupid me who didn't think of measuring this one before modification for reference !) for a 0.5 ohms, got about 2A max and then 1 ohm wich was 1A max

Lux measurments are from a calibrated Minolta T-10A using a 20cm polystyrene foam ball setup according to Djozz's "fast and cheap integrating sphere". As i don't have a calibrating light for now i have no good way to convert from lux to lumen but a Convoy S2+ with xm-l2 T6-4C at 1.4A (4*7135) in mid (40%) mode (should be about 200lm ?) reads 924 lux with the same setup.
