This time it’s my SR96 Intimidator that I got given some years ago.
Currently it has a horrible green/blue tinted white, and I’m aiming for more neutral. However I also want much more power. The body is well equipped for handling heat and the battery is nice and large already.
First off. It’s running 3x MK-R emitters. What emitter would produce more than that? I’m planning on upgrading the driver for more power and UI too.
Would it be ideal to even make it a triple -triple set up? 3xTriple XP-L’s.
Cheers for your advice. This thread will post the build updates too.
Your best bet would be replacing those MKR with XHP70s, and probably adding some boost to the driver via sense resistor modification if possible. MKR comes with the same Vf as the XHP so it should be a straightforward swap.
Converting this huge light into multi triple or quad is a total waste of a host, since you can achieve the same level of performance with a soda can light.
First step is to open it up and see how it’s built inside.
Do it! It will be easier now than it would have been in 2017. More emitters and drivers to choose from. XHP50.2/3 or XHP70.2/3 would definitely put out more light. Or you could go with a high CRI option, GT-FC40, Luxeon MZ, LH351D, or whatever else. Convoy’s 20A e-switch buck driver might be of interest, if not one of their other drivers. You’ll need to rebuild your battery packs I’m sure, but it’s not too hard to do.
I’ve got an SR-90 in pieces that I need to finish modding.
What kind of tools are you working with? Do you have access to machine tools?
