Khyber's Journal: Night Test of the MK-R

Finally got around to doing a night test of the MK-R.

I went out onto my patio, and put it right beside my 100w incan that typically lights the porch.

And here's the result. As you can see, absolutely no contest. Fluoro equivalent to 100w incan is a ~26w bulb, so we're looking at around 25% the power consumption of an equivalent CFL (LED driven at 6w) and way, way more light.

Still unable to drive full power. SinkPad mistakenly sent me XM-L boards, not MK-R.

Whoa!

Yeah, I can see why you were surprised.

I just got the MK-R boards.

I'm tempted to try this thing at 36w (12A @ 3A) with the massive cooler I have on it.

I've already run a pair parallel at 18w each.

Here's them in action. [youtube.com]
