OK, to everybody, I'm officially retiring stupid acronym TNT from my builds !!!.

Why the branding change? TNT was your thing! Did it have anything to do with something I say you mention earlier today in regards to PayPal rule enforcement?

Next time you're on the airport, show your EDC flashlight to security folks and tell them "this is my TNT modded flashlight"... then brace yourself...

I just snorted coffee up my nose while reading that. Lol

To be honest I carried my Tana Triple on a flight to Dallas last November. The TSA was more interested in my Titanium Maratac Embassy pen. Things would have gotten real over that pen. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]. Would have over ur build also, but took me forever to find that pen!! Haha

To be fair it took me a second. But everyone knows you can't say bomb on an airplane. Hahahaha!!!

Hi Tana,

Is it possible to build one of these with a max of 1A rather than 1.4A?
Something like a Nichia 219B @1A with 3 modes of 5%, 30 to 50% and 100%. Is this possible?

On that note, I get taken aside and my self and backpack get brushed for explosives every time without fail passing through security.
I always say to them that something might show up because it's my work bag. They've never even blinked yet ha ha.

On second consideration:

This would probably be even better. Nichia 219B @1.4A with 4 modes of 5%, 30%, 60% and 100% with last mode memory. Is something like this possible? If so this would be preferable.

1Amp or 1.4Amp is both possible - due to better metal to metal contact I'm OK to have these at 1.4Amp unlike e-series SingLEDs which I do make in 1Amp version... so whatever you find better...

As for modes, definitely consider Tana3 semi-prog firmware, few extra bucks but gives you all modes you might want (it has 4-mode with and without memory, ascending/descending with visually equally spread modes - took me a long time and lot of fine tuning to get all mode groups in that firmware to be "just perfect")...

Thanks for the info Tana.
I like the look of the Tana3 firmware but for this build I'm after something specific where I'm focusing on power levels rather than visually spread modes.
If you can confirm a Nichia 219B @1.4A with 4 modes of around 5%, 30%, 70% and 100% with last mode memory I'm in.

I can confirm the modes, that's the easy part... my own code is very simple and can manage any level wanted (approx. of course)... but bare in mind, difference between 60% and 100% will be hard to easily see... even 35%/100% can sometimes confuse...

Let's switch to email for details... my workshop email is listed as a image at the end of first post...

I get that the visual difference will be close. It's more about power consumption and heat as I intend to use it as an area light possibly tail standing for decent lengths of time.
Email on it's way, thanks mate.

What optic are you using for the Haiku triples?

 

[Ladd]

looks like the usual Carclo 10507

I hope so, that would mean finding a drilled optic would be quite simple.
