Nah, but I’m betting it’ll work great. :stuck_out_tongue:

As for amps drawn, my N219 only pulls 1.6A with a 2+A driver. The emitter will only take what it can use.

That’s cool then. Yeah its sweet as, very throwy with a nice usable spill, I love that reflector! :bigsmile:

So where are the beamshots? Show me the money!

Here's the official scoop from Hank which I confirmed on the ones I just got (8.4v BTW)...

You will notice in the pic that one of the resistors is circled. If yours says "101" on it then you have the 4.2v single cell version. If, like in my pic, yours says "102" then you have the 8.4v double cell version of the driver.

The color of the leads has no bearing on which version you might have. Here is a pic from Hank showing the 4.2v version with the "101" chip...

I hope that clarifies everything for you. ;)

Hmmm, mine has got a seriously flawed UI then, and you don’t want to know what it puts out at 8.4v……

Gary, I’ll see if my phone wants to cooperate later when I go get the bins. Mrs gords is not impressed that I finished work early, came home and spent four hours playing with torches……

26

Umm . . . yes we do! Inquiring minds want to know!

Try a tail cap reading of 4.87a……its a good job the UI is flawed, but to me, the drivers useless tbh.

Ok, these aren’t ilf beamshots, their taken on my mobile, but give you an idea of what I actually see, they just don’t show the defined cone of spill I see.

Control.

Shot stood off to the side, torch rested on bin.

The phone failed to pick up how defined the spill cone is, but the hot spot is pretty close I’d say.

I love this reflector, it was doing all that at 2a, which is nothing for a uf-v3, I could run the cell down at that and it won’t overheat. I like it. 8)
