Interested too, the 3800k tint mix has been in my aliex basket for longer than I can remember

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 😅

Dang the left one reminds me of Sauron’s helmet. Looks wild.

A thing of beauty!

Mine love the Ledlenser kidbeam4 (I use nimh), it has high white, low, RGB and police strobe. Sometimes like to play with an AA minimag.

Thanks for the reply, that’s very interesting! I must confess I didn’t realise they all contained copper. So those examples, and the box text imply these lights are a ‘red’ variant of bronze?

I’m no metallurgist but I’d say the material/finish is very close to regular copper pipe.

My brass one did say ‘Yellow Metal’ too @antisuck.

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.

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.

 

Hi All,

I recently built my first 2x S2+ triples with KD SST20 MCPCBs and Convoy 5A drivers. On one of them I noticed, when at 1%, 1 emitter is noticeably dimmer than the other 2. My second triple I changed the sense resistor to provide slightly more amps and that one is fine.

Anyone experienced this? Could it be a bad mcpcb, driver/level issue?
