Red Fox
FM Red Mag2.5C, UCL lens, 4x McR20 reflectors, 4xLuxIII TW0J emitters, improved modamag PQS-C-Cu, D2DIM dimmer, running on 2x 18650 cells.
The heatsink is screwed down in the Maglite head. The D2DIM driver sits on top of the switch in his custom made cage. Cage is machined from Ertalon. The head is epoxied to the body to prevent twisting and breaking the wires.
The emitters are wired in two pairs of emitters in series. No resistors are added to limit the current. At the start using batteries fresh from the charger output current was 1.45A. :devil: Running the light at a lower setting current dropped quickly to slightly more than 1A after 5 minutes.
Lumens output: 4x (67.2 - 87.4) = 268.8 – 349.6 Lumens.
Lux reading at 1m using Meterman LM631: 1.20A = 11400 Lux; 1.10A = 10600 Lux; 1.00A = 9750 Lux; 0.50A = 5390 Lux.
Output current measurement: 10 min = 0.95A; 20 min = 0.84A; 30 min = 0.77A; 40 min = 0.72A; 50 min = 0.69A; 60 min = 0.66A.
You can read more about the D2DIM driver here and here.
Thanks for looking.
