Tease
Stop teasing and show the real goodies! We want full pictures and lumens measurements
aha! I see the meat and potatoes are here:
woohoo! a 2300!!! lumen Novatac!
Mind Blowing!
I’m curious — how’s the thermal management on this modified NovaTac? Also, how would you compare performance to the FW3A with “similar” emitter choice? I was, once upon a time, going to modify my NovaTac 120P, but for one reason or another I shelved the plans. Then when the FW3A came out, I figuratively tossed out the plans completely… as I think the Anduril UI is phenomenal (a good deal of what the NovaTac does isn’t within my needs). The only thing missing with Anduril that I’d like is the low drain locator beacon.
CRX installed an H17f driver that has built in thermal management. He also eliminated the Novatac body spring (signal wire), which made the Novatac 18350 compatible, with a bit of CRX magic.
the main differences from the CRX Triple Nova and the fw3a are battery size and UI. Both have thermal management features.
Anduril is basically a 1 mode UI, with electronic ramping in 150 steps, and memory.
H17f is a clicky UI, with up to 7 modes in each of two user groups, w programmable levels divided into 24 hops in brightness, similar to an HDS clicky or Novatac. Memory can be turned on and off.
I dont know which UI offers the lowest low, or highest high, but imo, both drivers could achieve similar brightness levels, ceteris paribus
