Kinda weak. 2 amps per led means 32 amps in total at 3 volts =96w in a tripple cell light. A single molicell can provide 148w at 3.7v.

I’m still disappointed Hank decided to checkerboard the LED channels instead of making separate frosted/clear channels possible.

Disappointing to those that go for flood-throw combos to try and make a Zoomie with no moving parts. Happiness for those that were disappointed that the dual-channel DT8 only did checkerboard in E21 form though.

It depends on what you use dual-channel for

For channel mixing (e.g. CCT shift), it's actually kinda nice. For channel switching, though, you're absolutely right. It'd be nice if it were at least an option.

3*18650 batteries in series, boost driver for both channels

That's interesting. 3S batteries and 4S emitters?

Interesting. I was hoping this would be a better and brighter D18. But it seems like less output and more functionality.

No RGB switch is a bit of a bummer. Still gonna get one, though.
