  • Three great Convoy lights

    Having broadened my horizons beyond Convoy, trying out my first Hank (D1v2 which disappointed me) grabbing some Lumintops (the FW21s which really impressed me), the odd Sofirn (SC32), a couple Wurkkos (TS10, HD15R etc); I always resolve that Convoy are the absolute best balance of value, DIY-ability and performance. If only Simon were to sell a few more enthusiast-desired items (like these new drivers), smooth body exotic metal parts, 18500 tubes, spare pills, spacers, etc.

    I would highly recommend it! I just upgraded my s2+ triple with this driver and a Kaidomain 519a DD 3500k. It’s a wonderful thing.

    It’s incredible. At this level you already are a flashlight manufacturer. Someone else just makes your hosts 😅

    Mine love the Ledlenser kidbeam4 (I use nimh), it has high white, low, RGB and police strobe. Sometimes like to play with an AA minimag.

  • Those folks at Wurkkos don’t hang around. 7 days after ordering and 6 from dispatch, to the UK. I also got the free holster as part of the Father’s Day promo, although it’s too large for the TS10 - I’ll find a use for it! The longer, black clip came too. Red AUX 3000k Orange, 4000k I think the red looks superb against the copper. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/0eed5e45-39e7-4846-b4d7-d8ec698ccff0.jpeg)

    TS10 emitter swap between brass and aluminum?
  • toadiesss toadiesss Now 100%

    Yes you did say weight initially but I figured most of it was in the body! And I guess in time there is a risk of that (I was thinking brass/copper from my own collection as they are compatible)

    And you straightened the bend? Or the TS25 one and you cut it? Either way the colouring looks fine!

  • TS10 emitter swap between brass and aluminum?
  • toadiesss toadiesss Now 100%

    Late to the party but having ordered the new copper ts10 and already owning brass, my first thought was why not only swap the head? Brass head on aluminium body would look interesting.

  • Triple trouble - emitters not equally bright
  • toadiesss toadiesss Now 100%

    Experience like this is why this community rocks. Intrigued by Adair21’s answer, I read around the web to understand better - I didn’t realise there could be so much tolerance in LED forward voltages!

    As a result, when in parallel/at the same drive voltage, different currents drawn = different relative brightness. Outside of independent resistors, you’d need to get lucky with matched emitter tolerances or just run above moonlight so that the difference is less noticeable.

    Maybe it’s a reflection of the cost of the KD boards?

    Is there any plan to port some information over such as popular emitters / buying guides? Also, is it possible to have it quickly accessible in the sidebar (kind of mimicking the ‘About’ section of our Reddit?) it looks like posts can be favourited/saved. I’m still learning the ropes here so apologies if I’m missing it.

    That exact question was just asked over at BLF and Terry replied “we did not get the suitable RGB LED for TS10 head size last year, will search if anything update this year” BLF thread

  • If anyone has missed it in the chaos, the Copper TS10 is available in 4000k, 3000k with rgb, red or orange aux at Wurkkos’ site. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/782f8a4c-9a03-47eb-a12e-d577ce1fc4fc.png)

    Hello! If you don’t already have a Wurkkos TS10, get one and have some fun with the Anduril 2 UI 😇

    I think you might end up with an echo chamber over on Reddit, as people will likely stick to a single platform

  • Hi All, I recently built my first 2x S2+ triples with KD SST20 MCPCBs and Convoy 5A drivers. On one of them I noticed, when at 1%, 1 emitter is noticeably dimmer than the other 2. My second triple I changed the sense resistor to provide slightly more amps and that one is fine. Anyone experienced this? Could it be a bad mcpcb, driver/level issue?
