You are right, forgot about the LD3 (and I even tested it :person_facepalming: ) , that is a great option too! Don’t forget to order it in 2S configuration.
can you run it of a single hg2
An XHP50 runs on 6V, a single li-ion is half of that. A driver that will do that is a so-called boost-driver. The LD3 is not a boost driver, so the battery voltage needs to be a bit higher than the led voltage.
Btw, single cell boost drivers for 6V leds usually have a limited current, you will not get the output of a lineair/direct driver in a 2S configuration.
allright, thank younso much!
Hmm… The LD3 is 3 or 6 amperes…
Can it do 4.5 Amperes?
If you read the LD3 info thread, you will find that a new feature in the LD3 is that there is a user configurable adjustment of the maxium output current, down to 2A off the listed current. So the 6V version can be configured down to 4A.
I saw the same on ebay, and apperently it has options of
3A,6,9,12A, and you can change it in the ui.
2-3A, 4-6A, 7-9A 8-12A
Yeah, i just read that… :person_facepalming:
Thanks. :+1:
No worries!
what would be a good output for the xhp50 then, considering I’ll be putting it in an s2+ or thorfire vg-10, maybe eagle eye x6, one of those? Maybe the 4-6 amps? sure you wouldn’t want to push up towards 12 amps?
I just did a single cell MTG2 on my S2+… The boost driver is 20mm and outputs 3A (stated on the site but i dont have meter to test it) which i believe is more than enough for a small light. I cant find any 1 to do custom pill for me so what i did was sanding off 1mm from the original pill, cover the components using wire tape (because the pill internal diameter is a bit small so i had to protect the component from contacting the wall) n let it sit on top of the pill. Still hope someone here can custom made a pill for me and it will be perfect.
nice! Does it get hot at all 
I ordered some copper plate to make my heatmanagement better.
Yea of course! It a 6v emitter on a small body… its also flooder than XML2 but XML2 had alot brighter hotspot…
Do you have a link to that driver?
Just type in mtg2 driver on aliexpress.
Ld-29s driver? 20mm 3amps!
LD-29 requires 2-3 cells, they are not boost driver.
Sorry for the late reply, here it is: 淘宝网 - 淘！我喜欢
They are the only 20mm single cell boost driver for MT-G2 or XHP50 as far as i can tell…
what is the name of that driver?
Hello, new to the forum and was looking to power the XHP70 in a C8 and saw your post. Maybe this driver would work for you. It’s 17mm and will handle over 10 amps.
That’s a DD driver which you need 2 batteries (with zener mod) to drive the XHP70 led. It wont give u 10a straight out from a battery, u need 2 or more high drain cells for it
