Hello people!
i want to start a project flashlight, using a convoy s2+ with sst20 or kw cslmn1. tg led and a 20mm 5 degree tir lens to make a small diameter thrower. the ideal endproduct would be a small diameter flashlight with almost 0 spill and good throw. i found some 20mm tir lens vendor on aliexpress, but i do not know which one is a good brand. Also, there is not so much info on what kind of leds they can acomodate.
The cslnm led is much smaller then the sst20, but i do not know if the tir lens will do its magic with a smaller footprint led. Can you give me some poiners please? i really don't know much about tir lens, and the info i found online is way too advanced for me to understand.
so what would you use?
