FW1AA with RGB+reflector
(lemmy.world)
Hello, first post here :D
A few month ago I modded a FW1AA with boost-buck driver for NiMH/li-ion and with RGB LEDs.
I used a TIR lens for the aux led to shine through, unfortunately it had artefacts in the spill that ended up a bit too distracting so I went back to the original reflector and used a thin flex PCB under the reflector with tiny LEDs that fit in the opening. I’m very satisfied with the result, plus the beam with the 519A+ SMO reflector is surprisingly good.

Yea I don't own one yet, but it should be around 5.6mm to 5.7mm.
That would be great if you could, thanks.
Circle is 5.6mm :

So this should work for the original FW1A?? That is exactly what I need!
I guess it should. Unless the corners of the flex boards overlap with the MCPCB solder pads, since it was designed for a smaller MCPCB.
Awesome. I'll order some soon and let you know. Thanks so much!
