From left to right:
S2+ TI - XHP50.3 4000k - 4A convoy 6V
S2+ - 519a 2700k dedomed - 5A Convoy CC
S2 - Triple 219c 4000K (FW3A) - 5A Convoy CC
S8 - SFQ65 3000k - Dr. Jones H17Fx
Roche F12 - 519a 4500k - 5A Convoy CC
S2 - Osram CSLNM1 - 5A Convoy CC
S6 - 519a 3500k dedomed - 5A Convoy CC
The boost driver (S2+ TI) and Dr. Jones (S8) are staying where they are, but I plan to replace the constant current drivers with buck drivers. I’m also going to make the S6 a triple with the same 519a 3500K dedomed, swap the 219C Triple for a spare XPL HI from my other FW3A, and trade the Osram for an SFT40; all three of those will get 8A drivers, and the others 5A.
I know the Roche isn’t really a Convoy. But I got it from Simon, and they’re all just tubes after all.
I haven’t on this light. It’s kind of a parts bin light, with a spacer made out of a thin walled copper pex line plug, so I didn’t want to throw too much current at it.
I did use your guide to attempt a sense resistor swap on another 5A driver when I was trying to use an SFS75 in the S8. But I only have a soldering iron and wasn’t entirely successful. I ended up deciding I didn’t like the SFS75 anyway and abandoned the idea.
Yeah, I hear you. I also struggle with resistor swaps with a regular soldering iron. It’s a pain.
