Hey all is my first post here and it looks like the main photo and a couple other photos below are not in the correct orientation.
I just got some new parts in to build a couple of throwy FW1A with aux (still waiting for the aux boards from OshPark). I got several different aspheric lenses, TIR optics that have been recommended in the past and the round-die Yinding 5050 emitter in 3000k (See the Opple 3 data below).
Still got some work to do as I need to work out which aspheric to use and the correct focal length which gives the most throw. After that I need to design a 3D printed spacer for the aspheric to sit on.
Edit: I like this emitter already, throwy (small emitting surface), warm (3000k), rosy (duv -0.0025!), and CRI not that bad! It is supposed to take up to around 8A of current I think.
Dude! This mod is awesome
Thanks man! When this mod is complete, the light will have your T1616 adapter inside of it.
Hell yeah! You lucked out with the driver. The newer ones use the smaller package for the t85
I haven't seen one of those, does it look like the original FET+7+1 driver otherwise, do you have a photo you can show us?
When I ordered my FW1A Pros, I asked the guy on the aliexpress store to show me a picture of the driver before I placed the order, in case they are still shipping FET+1 drivers.
Oh, sorry. For some reason my brain was reading FW1AA
