Please see Run #1 for more details on the specifics of the copper heat sink and these light engines in general.
For the 2nd run of these light engines I decided to go with a more high power setup while still maintaining some level of custom setup to the drivers. I have settled on a 105C AMC7135 based driver running the STAR firmware with 12 AMC7135 chips totaling 4.54 Amps drive current.
The driver features 4-levels preset to 2, 15, 40 and 100%. There is a turbo timer set to 60-seconds which will drop the light from 100% to 40% to prevent overheating. If you switch back to 100% the timer will be reset. You will notice that from room temperature the light will be starting to get quite hot after 60 seconds so I don't recommend a second run at 100% until the light has a chance to cool.
IMPORTANT: You will need high quality 18350 IMR batteries to drive the light engine at the full 4.5A. I have two newer AWs that are able to do this with no problem, but my 2-year old AW 18350 IMR red cells cannot drive the light engine at full power. My new eFest Purple IMR 18350 flat top cells also have no issue. I do not have experience with other IMR cells and cannot recommend any others for this setup.
The light engine is running 3 Nichia 219B Hi CRI LEDs mounted on a Noctigon copper triple mPCB.
Also included is a Carlco Frosted Narrow optic.
There are several options that can be set on the light engine via star solder bridges on the driver board. If you are handy with a soldering iron you can change these yourself at any time.
Options:
With your order please specify how you want the above options set.
Limit one per customer. The first four posted "I'll take it!" without any further qualifications get the light engines.
Price: $100 each
Payment must be made via PayPal Purchase option. I will PM you with my PayPal information after the order is placed.
USPS Priority Mail shipping is included for US orders.
