The reflector is sitting on the mcpcb, (no centering ring) which is white, I did run a black Sharpie over it. :+1: The Doberman came with out a centering ring, the reflector has 2 outer support rings that are relatively tight to the head’s inner diameter, so centering is tight, just the reflector to me isn’t right to focus even on domed LED’s let alone dome-less LED’s. But the W6 is putting out some pretty impressive lemons, and it’s fair to midland when using it outside, so I’m done wasting time on it. But thanks anyway’s!
Removed gasket. Just one layer of kapton tape around led to not scratch MCPCB with reflector. Reflector sitting on that. Wires soldered insane flat. Reflector bottom sides grinded a bit to clear wires.
Which reflector is this for? We really need some centering rings for the Osram Flat Whites to fit the L2, C8 and S2’s. Hoop is supposed to be making them but haven’t heard anything in a month or 2. Not sure about the L2 either.
I talked about WF1 with Simon a week ago and he told me he will get some testing samples after chinese new year and maybe consider putting them in C8. I will help him in every way I can after my 6-7 WF1 builds conclusion and led measurements.
I ordered some POM plastic to make myself some gaskets. All hand work and no fancy tool avaible. Its a little to loose in the reflector but I will make some more later.

Got some good news for anyone wanting to swap the 1mm2 emitter into an MF-04. The stock isolation ring does actually focus the emitter quite well in this light. I finally got back to this light last night. I centered the emitter (trial and error when tightening the bezel. Once I got it centered, I was able to confirm focus. Atmospheric conditions are very bad right now due to extremely high pollen from pine trees. I will measure throw and get some beam shots after conditions improve. The beam is beautiful and clearly beats my BLF GT which I measured at about 1 million cd.
The tint is probably good, the older black flat was more reddish than greenish at high currents. The cri is obviously low (the only way to get max luminance), it should be stated in the datasheet. Probably around 65-70.
