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.

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.

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.

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

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