Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing your great pics.
For a while now, I have felt that a Nichia 219B triple, such as the one you built, would be ideal for most indoor tasks, and many outdoor ones as well. I love the super wide "hot spot" created by the triple. I also try to stay with high CRI, so the Nichias are perfect.
As I recall, the ThorFire C8s has a regulated driver that does not use PWM. If my memory is right, then output should not increase when using a medium- or high-draw battery. I run mine on an NCR18650B.
I prefer the hardtop campers. My 68 is a deluxe passenger bus but it has an old accessory under the rear seat that allows it to fold out flat to the rear deck. Some curtains and a sleeping bag I am good to go. No extra weight of the sink or fridge either.
Buses are good for Wheelin’ too. Yes thats Me. Thrashin in the Pine Barrens of South Jersey.
I’ll get some beamshots tonight. I have XPL-HI 1A in my s2+.
X6 has nichia. Unknown Tint. It’s a little more white than my 5k M43.
Bot are direct drive.
Glad you like the X6 triple, it’s been a favorite of mine for a few years now. Something about that Eagle Eye X6 that just really appeals to me. The host I built yesterday makes 2018 lumens on a single XP-L emitter. I think I’ve built an X6 in just about every configuration imaginable.
It’s also fun to put a short tube on an X6 and run it from an 18350.
