Interested too, the 3800k tint mix has been in my aliex basket for longer than I can remember

Having broadened my horizons beyond Convoy, trying out my first Hank (D1v2 which disappointed me) grabbing some Lumintops (the FW21s which really impressed me), the odd Sofirn (SC32), a couple Wurkkos (TS10, HD15R etc); I always resolve that Convoy are the absolute best balance of value, DIY-ability and performance. If only Simon were to sell a few more enthusiast-desired items (like these new drivers), smooth body exotic metal parts, 18500 tubes, spare pills, spacers, etc.

I would highly recommend it! I just upgraded my s2+ triple with this driver and a Kaidomain 519a DD 3500k. It’s a wonderful thing.

It’s incredible. At this level you already are a flashlight manufacturer. Someone else just makes your hosts 😅

And you straightened the bend? Or the TS25 one and you cut it? Either way the colouring looks fine!

Experience like this is why this community rocks. Intrigued by Adair21’s answer, I read around the web to understand better - I didn’t realise there could be so much tolerance in LED forward voltages!

As a result, when in parallel/at the same drive voltage, different currents drawn = different relative brightness. Outside of independent resistors, you’d need to get lucky with matched emitter tolerances or just run above moonlight so that the difference is less noticeable.

Maybe it’s a reflection of the cost of the KD boards?

Hello! If you don’t already have a Wurkkos TS10, get one and have some fun with the Anduril 2 UI 😇

 

Hi All,

I recently built my first 2x S2+ triples with KD SST20 MCPCBs and Convoy 5A drivers. On one of them I noticed, when at 1%, 1 emitter is noticeably dimmer than the other 2. My second triple I changed the sense resistor to provide slightly more amps and that one is fine.

Anyone experienced this? Could it be a bad mcpcb, driver/level issue?
