Novatac flickers, low battery, full battery, primary battery

More like two thirds.
…
I greatly prefer the ability to charge the batteries and the increased output over that ~33% extra capacity. Infact I don’t notice the reduced capacity IRL at all.

thanks, I like that
I dont find 16340 short lived, I came from AAA
I still use the same levels, under 50 lumens, they just last longer w 16340

Novatac triple

thanks for the driver info… Im actually a bit loyal to the Novatac UI atm

Ive been researching triple options, I just learned that

1. datiLED will mod a Nova to a triple, PM him
   he uses a lathe to custom build a heatsink… quality all the way

2. you can buy a Novatac SPA on Ebay, there are several

here is how one guy rolls his own triple, that has inspired my research

NovaTac 120E Nichia 219B

Sorry I forgot to take picture during the process, but here’s the final result. [image] I use a coin sized copper as the base (heat dissipation won’t be great though) and using rubber silicon to wrap 20 mm TIR optic to fit the host. Triple nichias and optic were bought from Kaidomain.

here is the preloaded 219c 5000k board he used for a cheap and dirty mod, no lathe work…

I would suggest a medium frost optic instead of narrow clear…
