FW3A SST-20 Deep Red 660nm on FET (lemmy.world)

One of my favorite mods - a blue FW3A that I swapped SST-20 Deep Red into.

This is with a fresh Molicel P26A 18650.

Thing rips.

But I mostly use it at low levels where it’s very efficient.

I love deep red because it does not attract insects and it’s gentle on your eyes at night.

Which firmware did you use?

Standard - 100% FET

Or

219 - 50% FET

Sweet! I didn't think DR would be able to handle 100% FET. I might need to build one of these!

So far, I’ve never had a problem pushing the SST-20 Deep Reds. Same with the white ones too. They hold up quite well!
