Mac's Tri EDC Light Engines'.

[extremescramble]

Hi Guys,

Wanted to try out some Hi CRI emitters for my Tri EDC but couldn't get hold of Mac to get a replacement pill so decided to give it a go myself.

Really pleased with how these turned out :-

I milled these pills a few hundredths of a millimetre undersize (compared to my original) to ensure a good fit to a wide range of Tri EDC hosts.

I have combined the pill in this instance with a Nichia 219 Triple Star. It's a slightly different optic post fitting than that on my original XPG 2 star so I had to reduce the height of the Carclo Optic posts by a couple of millimetre's to ensure it fits snugly down on the emitters. Because these Nichia 219's are smaller than the XPG 2's they seem to fit better with the Carclo Optics - I had noticed previously if the XPG 2's were slightly off centre it could cause in some instances the dome to catch the optic :-

In respect of drivers I have recently been using Nanjg 105c drivers flashed with Lucidrv courtesy of Dr Jones. For me the best feature is the user programmable UI. It allows to me to experiment with different output settings and then I can semi permanently lock these settings in by bridging one of the stars. The features of the UI are too vast to mention here but his website offers all the information :-

In this example I have matched the Nichia star with a 3.0A example of the 105c. Wired in parallel this is giving each emitter 1000mA at 100% output so well within manufacturers recommendations :-

Obviously output is markedly down on the XPG 2 emitters but Nichia 219 LED's are not about efficiency - it's all about colour rendering.

Any comments would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks for looking.
Philip.

I think they look fabulous! Do you flash the drivers yourself or buy them that way? I've been considering getting into driver programming.

 

[extremescramble]

Thanks for the kind words. I do program my own drivers but these are all Dr Jones work. His programming skills are stellar - I can't compete. 😊

Emitter just died on a Macs EDC SST-50. Can I use one of these in that body?

Wow!
Very good work sir!
I will keep you in mind for future work on my Tri-edc.

I am also curious as to if one of these could be used in an SST-50 EDC body. Would it allow for a longer battery?

Another SST-50 edc owner here, would the engine work on the SST 50 body?

These look great! You should be a busy man with so few offering these LE's.
