Maybe something like Skilhunt H200 but powered by 14500?
I don’t want renounce to AA support (I want also leave the headlamp on my car).
The emisar D2 have dual Led design L-shape, but maybe better classic type with Leds at center?
Wurkkos_Terry: “How do we distribute the output by 3-eyes output? I suppose the quad TIR would be better for dual channel”
Would definitely be better in a quad led host. That way equal output to both pairs of LEDs. With 3 you’d either need 3 channels or a 2 channel with separate power circuits. One to provide 6A to the pair of white and a 3A for the single red. Space in a 14500 light that size is tight as is.
Personally, I’m not a fan of adjustable tint. I own one of the first dual channel, adjustable kelvin lights from around 10 yrs ago, an Imalent. It was fun for a day or three but once I found my preferred tint I never changed it. And because to achieve that tint none of the LEDs runs at full power. Give me full tint options (3000k preferably) with all the LEDs at full power and I’d be much happier.
I’d rather see Wurkkos engineers make a single channel CC driver for the TS10/HD10.
Whoa!

Anyway good to see you back here.

You cool, I like that crazy idea.
Couldn’t you just keep it all 3V and wire the two-LED channel in parallel?
What difference between H200 and H150? I’m interested in it. ![]()
Yep, we considered it earlier. But it’s high risk and machine hard. Maybe we will start in HD15C ![]()
Yes please. HD15 is quite an ‘almost perfect’ model except for driver. With constant current driver it will be a killer.
Please, this time support for Ni-mh battery
Skilhunt H200 is 18650 dual channel light, triple LED: 2x Nichia 519A and one Red LED
Skilhunt H150 is just 14500/AA dual fuel, one LED light, almost like HD10 ![]()
So if in HD10 you could get 2x white and 1x red as second channel it will be interesting ![]()
It’s amazing! Nice for study
. Dang! I hope skilhunt isn’t aiming my head right now.
hahah I don’t think so
this combo is not something new, but in 14500 form factor it will be outstanding ![]()
Lot of peple like white + red combo, especially in camping like headlamps.
Red light maybe usefull for wild life observation - hunting , but for camping much more comfortable to use moon - firefly modes .
Some people say red light doesn’t attract bugs, at same or higher brightness than white light. Not sure if true, but that would be interesting for camping.
Better would be use PC wide band deep red instead of narrow harsh 660nm.
But I find more usefull variable tint, that depend by many factors like: hours of day, meteo condition, type of territory.
Important thing is use a Led that start from a super low cct with good Cri
I have some experience with red light usage (please don’t take it the wrong way, y’all dirty minds out there
), so here’s some comments on the matter:
No direct experience myself as I don’t hunt (and won’t until the hunted animals are given guns and taught how to use them
), and in my experience wild life doesn’t get anywhere near humans as they can smell us from a mile away and would rather avoid us, but I’ve heard from folks that do, that green light is even better to avoid alarming animals.
I can attest from direct experience that most/all bugs are not attracted to red light, and that white light does attract them strongly.
One other use for red light that I can personally attest to: stargazing, both naked-eye and using telescopes. This is because red light doesn’t affect low-light eye adaptation.
I have heard from other people that sufficiently low-brightness white light doesn’t affect it either, but red light usage is customary when doing visual observations among astronomers both amateur and professional, and trying to use any non-red light in such a setting will certainly not get you any friends, and you will probably get you at least a warning and might even get you ejected from most the communal events like star parties in really dark settings like deserts, etc.
+1 on the hunting stance!
My understanding is that hunters use green lights to see trails of blood left by the animals they’ve hurt. Red blood should show up as dark stains against a light background.
My astronomer friends use red to preserve night vision but in that case the required intensity is so low that i just use red aux lights and even those sometimes get me glared at.
Probably because they never seen a flashlight with really low mode ![]()
