🎄 New build (⚠️ Burn Hazard ⚠️) – Convoy S11 | 519A 2S2P High CRI Monster 🔥 | With 🫘

Just finished this build and wanted to share it with the community.

Build details:
• Host: Convoy S11
• Emitters: 519A 2S2P
• 1× (5000K + 4000K) DD
• 1× (5000K + 4000K) D
• Driver: 6V 10A
• Optic: Wide-angle 10394 TIR from Hank

Thoughts:
The light itself is amazing. Love at first sight.
High CRI, very pleasant tint mix, extremely calming to the eyes — one of those beams that makes your eyes relax rather than fight the light.

BUT… the host is not ideal.
This thing gets crazy hot. Even at ~35% output it becomes a burn hazard within a few minutes — literally can’t hold it.
26650 with 15A continuous discharge only works for a limited time at 100%, needs at least 20A-25A – haven’t tried yet.
With reflector makes a dark spot in the middle- needs TIR.
Thermal mass, heat dissipation and the CDR of the cell are clearly the limiting factors here.

Optic notes:
• The Hank TIR fits, but it’s not a perfect solution
• Way too floody for this setup
• Designed for 5050, not 7070, so the outer part of the LEDs isn’t being used efficiently
• Would really benefit from more throw and a better-matched optic

👉 Looking for recommendations:
What host would you suggest for a 519A 2S2P / 6V 10A setup that can actually handle the heat properly?
I’d happily rebuild this in a more suitable host.

Merry Christmas everyone 🎄
Stay bright — and don’t burn your hands 😅🔥
