Holy crap that would be nutty.
Do you clean/replace carpeting, investigate murders, or just like to know things you wish you didn’t?
So THIS is what those ZWB2 filters were for 😉
I’m seeking to collect atleast one of every past and present flashlight Hank makes, with each of them being cool examples (modified or not). Enter: the D18 UV Mule.
Started off searching for the correct size ZWB2 filter, which let me tell ya, was not an easy find. I was told they don’t make them this big… they do, but it’s such a specialty product. It was relatively expensive, and hard to find, but they do!
Then I pitched the idea to u/adair21 and he said he would be more than happy to tinker with a D18 to get 18x UV leds working without torching them. Custom firmware limited it to 50% FET max, as to not burn up the expensive emitters. The emitters are 5w SST10’s, which were around $95 for all 18 of them.
I have some shitty sofirn 18650’s in there temporarily, they are underdriving the emitters by quite a bit. They will have to do while my actual 18650’s are inbound. At the moment the brightness of this guy is about the same as my D4k 8x UV Mule, though that battery is actually charged up (the D18 is low-medium charged), and the battery outputs more amps in the D4k.
