You're talking about the 519A version, right? At least the beam pattern of the H04 shouldn't be affected much due to the diffusing optic.

The H04 can be opened easily by removing the screws holding the bezel. The M150 is easy as well, just unscrew the bezel itself.

Convoy 4X18A with XHP70.2 has a boost driver.

Only CRI 80? That's not enough to really enjoy the sh... I mean, inspect and clean.

Does it have PWM?

Thank you for the update! Really curious about the H150. I hope they will release it soon.

After some trouble with the federation I'm finally able to see this post on this instance...

Thank you for the giveaway, I'm in!

Yeah, they are inductors used for switching converters (and the one on the left is a real monster!). @thefreeman@lemmy.world is known for high efficiency drivers, so I wouldn't expect anything less.

Awesome! I think c/flashlight is a really great alternative to r/flashlight, especially if more people would post here.

And thanks for the giveaway!

The TS11 is almost twice as long, four times as bright, throws two times as far and runs six times as long.

What beamshot do you like to see?

Reading a voltage would be possible (but the ADC code is already very complex and messy). Some types of drivers have a sense resistor already, but usually it is connected to an opamp and adding another load might cause visible fluctuations in the output.

So yes, it could be possible, but requires a driver redesign and lots of refactoring of Anduril.

There is also an image showing the laser engraving:

I guess tailcap current measurements with a DMM are good enough for my purposes.

Only as long as you use a clamp meter.

Thanks, I try to be here whenever the federation is working. Saw your comment just now because it wasn't pushed to my instance...

Yeah, the hanklight was the inspiration for my mod.

The random generator. /s

As they've explained its pronounced like the letters S, K and T. The had used the brand SKT already in 2018 for a single product.

Using gitd tape would just cause another tint in the beam. It has aux LEDs, that's enough locator for me.

Not sure why you don't see the post. I checked right after posting it and it was already pushed to lemmy.world.

If you want to go professional, there isn't much choice. Either The Sofirn/BLF LT1 or the smaller Sofirn LT1S Pro. Both have the Anduril operating system with a very complex, but also very powerful UI, they have adjustable color temperature and brightness – both either stepped or smooth – and the LT1S Pro even has a red channel!

It looks like a rebranded Yinding or Rayten LED that is already used for a while in other flashlights. It's definitely not their own development or production.
