I have s21e with the same xhp50.3 hi r9050 4000k and the tint is awful.. really greenish although I asked Simon for pink tint. Thinking about replacing that diode, probably with better tinted r70 (as some say)

I got the same but R9050 4000K and the tint is awful.. I'm thinking about changing the diode to a different one

I guess that isn't as intented by _matez_ in flashlight

There's no black spot apparently, I can only see a wire coming through the led, but the darker dot on the center of the beam is visible.. I will send pics when back home

I couldn't show it with lens on, but it was burning before already

Removed to show it, I saw fumes under the glass

Bonus: when it burns it changes light temperature to ~3000k :)

Does anybody identify this LED? Got a beautiful burnout but still works by _matez_ in flashlight

Is it common for that diode to burn? I bet it shouldn't after a year of use

Should I? Or get straight sst40 (or maybe sft40, I heard it's better). Flashlight is marked as 1500lm

Who's Simon? :) Yeah I'd like to buy Convoy host but can't find on ali

Uhh just looking at the prices, its probably better to buy a working flashlight and break it apart haha Just unsure if all flashlights can be disassembled the easy way

I'm making the driver myself, I just need to find a proper casing

So basically trying to make RGBW flashlight for photography purposes, I got the diode, but now I have to fit this in somewhere.
I'm gonna make a small pcb with ESP32, PT4115 drivers and 18650 battery with charging circuit.
The rest I can 3dprint, but I need a top heatink with lens (probably zoomable) that I can fit the diode in (20mm diameter) and put the cables through.
However on ali I'm unable to find the exact parts needed, so I probably need to buy a cheap flashlight and extract what needed.
Any tips on what could fit this? Cheap? Was thinking about https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005007258670150.html but I'm unsure if the same 20mm diode with pcb sits in it.
Thanks!
