Flashlight DX SKU 6965(WF 800)
This happend to be a bit tricky mod for me, since the drivers i have is an older version (DX SKU 3256) which has 2 large electrolyte capacitors while the new one seems to be using a SMD capacitor hence the thinner profile. The only place where i can put this drivers is around the small place between the head and the reflector and i have to bend the capacitor flat out to minimize the overall thickness.
with all the drivers soldered and arranged(kind of) ready to be placed inside the body.
The pill screwed inside the body, i wrapped each driver with kapton tape just to avoid unnecessary problem later on like shorting and some other unwanted stuffs.
Now with the reflector, windows and the bezel attached.
the flashlight
With unmodified reflector the spot and throws is good but i cant screw the bezel with the glass installed since reflector sits higher so I have to shave a mm off the base of the reflector, but with the shaved reflector it doesnt throw as good as before since the LED sit deeper inside the reflector. I will solve this problem latter.
Original reflector
Modified reflector( i should have cut the top not the bottom
)
Measured Current:
Battery draw ~1.6A, Emitter Current ~2.4A (Using 2x18650)
Seems better compared to 8x7135 at this battery setup.
I'll probably add 1 more driver to get 3A when i get additional driver (assuming it will work) and sputtered the reflector if i cant get the original beam.
Thanks.
UPDATE: having weird problem with the driver running in paralel, it shuts itself off after around 5 minutes of runtime probably heat from the pill since its very close position to it. After just 5 seconds of rest it always work again and then shuts it self off again. I think i have to sink it to body.
