Luminus Devices/Phatlight SST-50

[Aircraft800]

Has someone married a pwm controller to this led? It would be cool to see how low current you could get and still have the ability to blind the wife for a good period to make your get away, once she found the receipt.

Yes,

Check out these two builds:

Mirage Man HAIII Camo Mag Luminus SST-50 Dual Shark Buck Mod

SST-50 Mag D, dual Shark Buck 3A, dimming pot, 3 X 17670, beamshots added

Very usable all the way down to low.

Guys, does anybody know where the white GJ bins are being sold?

Avnet, but no stock. We'll probably have to wait a while for the select bins though.

Avnet is showing this with no stock, but only ONE WEEK backorder time

SSR-50-W57S-R21-GJ200

I ordered two because I'm stupid.

as a heads up i saw a P60 drop-in on ebay with sst-50s and 3 modes...amazing how fast that happened

I just purchased a SST-50-W57S-F21-GJ200 & SST-90-W57S-F11-GN200 from Avnet. These are the best flux bins currently available. The SST-50 is 500 min to 600 max flux @ 1.75 amp and the SST-90 is 1000 min to 1200 max flux @ 3.2 amp. They only had two of the SST-50 GJ200 left but they had over a 100 of the SST-90 GN200 left at the time of my order. Be aware that Avnet's web page is not accurate. If you want to purchase something give them a call and check. You might be surprised what they have atm. They are very friendly and professional. These SST-50 GJ200 are the WJ flux bin code and the SST-90 GN200 are the WN flux bin. There are "hand pick" GJ201 and GN201 but they are not available at this time. From my sources the word is it might be a while ( 3 months or more ) before more become available. So if you want a good SST-90 give them a call. Also I had a talk a while back with a Luminus engineer about their products and our CPF flashlight applications. He said their blue pump phosphorus has a "sweet spot" in their light conversion to the visible spectrum. Basically he felt that the W57S would be ever so slightly better than the W65S output wise. Both would be good choices but he gave the nod to W57S. He was a very helpful guy. Happy Mods!

did you convince him to join our ranks?

To get the good bins, you really need to just bite the bullet and order one and wait. It will NOT take 26 weeks to get them! I got my top bin GN102 in just over 4 weeks when it said 26 week. I got my SST-50 shipped out the following day when there was a 6 week lead time.

What was I thinking, I should have ordered MORE!!

Too bad I don't have this sucker powered up yet, I waiting for a good driver, regulator, or direct drive solution to get me powered up to a full 9A.

Has anyone tried running a few P7 drivers in parallel yet? I'm thinking of going that route.

With that new SharkCage by LedZep, I'll bet there are a few tripple SharkBucks pushing 9A Somewhere. 2 parallel SharkBuck have already been done.

 

[clint357]

I was thinking about using 4 of the Kaidomain P7 drivers, which give about 3.6-3.7A each. I'll start with the SSR-50 though.

I just con confirmation that a pair of SSR-50-W57S-R21-GJ200 LEDs have been shipped to me. What are all the different optics that people have used on these things? I understand that most MC-E optics work well, but I was wondering if anyone has done further testing on different solutions like different reflectors with aspherics, collimators, or anything else. Thanks.

Naturally I have used it with an aspheric and it works great. Much better than the MC-E or P7.

You're correct. Ledil Boom-s (and -m) work well for close range
Fraen 34mm 13degree produces a nice size spot with maybe too much flood
The Carlco optic (26mm) is great, projects the square image of the die a good distance. It's a 'medium' range and very effective. Probably my favourite - the die image is just so huge even though there's very little spill its quite useful. Think of it like an industrial application, good for big images.

I recently upgraded my LionCub with a J-bin SSR-50 and an MCR-20S. It's the brightest light with the most perfect beam I've ever owned. Works just fine DD with PWM dimming. Highly recommended!

someone tried to put sst-50 in stars for xr-e?

you think the termal transmission of xr-e stars will be ok for the sst-50?

 

[ergotelis]

Yes, can't remember who did it, but it worked fine and fits excellent.

I had a few things to add:
1) I had trouble discerning exactly what flux-bin the emitters on Avnet were, since they seem to have modified the part number as Luminus documents it in the data-sheets. Or have I missed something?

2) Are these available in neutral or warm white? Couldn't find any. :-(

lol the sst-50 in dx
