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 😅
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.
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)
Wow thanks for the write up. It’s turned out fantastic and I’d love to recreate it
And you straightened the bend? Or the TS25 one and you cut it? Either way the colouring looks fine!
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.
I mean if anyone wants to make dedicated copper s2 triple spacers for the UK, or some cool c/flashlight patches and stickers I will be alllllll over it
D’oh ! I always forget the cap too 😅
Love those shots, the 3rd image looks like a cell under a microscope or something
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?
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.
Interested too, the 3800k tint mix has been in my aliex basket for longer than I can remember
