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.

Not attracting insects is the best part about having deep red in a headlamp. It sucks having your face attacked by 1000 june bugs

That's interesting, I wonder if green lights attract less bugs too? There have been debates on if red or green is the best for natural night vision

I wonder if green lights attract less bugs too?

google says: “The study showed that 22% of bugs were attracted to the blue spectrum, while 18% were attracted to white, 10% to yellow, 2% to red and 4.7% to green.”

Which firmware did you use? Standard - 100% FET Or 219 - 50% FET

Standard

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!

Very nice pic. It had never occurred to me before that a powerful DR light was useful. I always had thought of DR as being for when you want minimal light. But now you’ve got me interested.
