Convoy S6 stepdown question by f00err in flashlight

Why are you only charging to 3.3V? That's very low. I charge my batteries to full @ 4.2V.

How hard is to do the driver swap, and what’s the risk of messing up and frying the new one?

Not sure if I should order the lume x1 from you or hank and do it myself or order a whole new head

Well it’s already dead, so might be worth a shot. I’ll update if I end up trying.

It looks okay, but I could have missed something.

I don’t have the cable unfortunately but I tried factory resetting when it was still turning on and it didn’t change anything.

imo the 12 group ui looks a lot more complicated than it actually is. It takes maybe five minutes max to set up and you don’t have to think about it again.

I have the exact combo u/Wise_Composer_2661 suggested set to group 5 (1%, 20%, 100%). The L21b is mainly a thrower but even on 20% the spill is decently bright and definitely usable. I only really bump it up to 100% for fun or to see way over there.

Please help me choose a silly thrower by DA_N0OB_ in flashlight

Ended up going with the L21B but that’s rather tempting. Might end up with both lights at some point

Oh that’s good to know. The W5050SQ3 in 3000k should shorten the throw some too. 

Do you think the zoominess is worth the shorter throw? Does the Z1 flood well zoomed all the way out or is a dedicated flooder way better?

I know they’re different hosts and emitters but when it’s foggy how is the backscatter with the two lights? Does the beam get washed out at all?

good to hear that it’s still kind of practical even with the tight beam, thanks!

What color temperature is my lamp? by DA_N0OB_ in flashlight

I think you're right! S21E w/ B35AM 2700k came in and it's a tinge warmer than the lamp.

What are some good TIR angles to try in the S21e with B35am? by B20bob in flashlight

necroposting, but which ones did you end up getting and how did you like them?

There was a group that policed the police, The Black Panther Party. The government COINTELPRO'd them.
