Thanks to this community and your friendly incite I've been given the skills to throw these together myself. It's not much compared to the amazing work I see out there, but it's really gratifying to put something together and know how the damn things works tops to tails.

What clips be those?

Got some nice lights there.

Thanks! Ti dawn clips that I anodized

[-] Reader9@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

These look amazing. Is that an S6 in the first picture as well?

Any resources you found especially useful to assemble these? Thanks!

[-] BeerGeekington@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

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...

[-] BeerGeekington@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] barry_budapest@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

Nice combo! I ordered an s6 with osram w1 and will try to install the 5 amp buck driver when it arrives.
