These look amazing. Is that an S6 in the first picture as well?
Any resources you found especially useful to assemble these? Thanks!
It is a S6, I totaly forgot to take it away before I went to do the beamshots lol. I've got Simon's newer 3v 8a buck driver driving a sft40 6500K and with a SMO reflector. It's pretty freaking potent.
Nice combo! I ordered an s6 with osram w1 and will try to install the 5 amp buck driver when it arrives.
Personally I'm really happy that the buck driver's inductor is short enough that it fits in the smaller S6+/S8+ engines. I need to pick up a few of the 8A ones to revamp some triples I have...
H17fx with fet and double click turbo is hard to beat. That being said, the 8a buck driver is a godsend for a lot of different builds
Agreed. I really like the UI on the H17Fx, but I prefer a simpler mode progression UI on the reverse clickies. The 8A should give a nice punch to some shorty triples I built for use around the house while having plenty of runtime on the lower side.
Kinda wish he had a 1 or 2A buck driver too. Not every light needs to empty an 18350 in 20 minutes.
