I have not found any V3’s myself but I have had good luck with V2 XP-L HI’s on any of my high drain cells. Even have one in a D01 with 3P 30Q’s that is doing a bit over 6A without an issue. I think that one came form IOS, V2 3C?
I will be putting a V2 1A through the ringer before long to see how it does, hopefully it doesn’t pop but these LED’s with bond wires never seem to survive the testing.
My L6 has a sliced XHP-50 4500K 90CRI. The slicing was done very carefully as far down as possible. It worked wonders! Obviously more throw, but also it mostly fixed the typical Cree problem of yellow spot. Now only the corona is still a bit yellow, spot and spill are basically the same.
Brightness ist much lower of course, maybe 2000 otf lumens.
Are you using one of the smooth reflectors? I’ve been quite curious to see how well the SMO reflector does with an XHP50 particularly de-domed (or sliced).
No, I want a nice smooth beam,
I was sorting out my modding stuff today and found out that i have those L2 leftovers……
Considering the fact that i made them usualy 2s ones …well, i`ve modded alot obviously 
Is that 26 L2 single cell tubes?
Selling them? China may be closed for the new year but Mitko has inventory. 
Are these single cell tubes or extensions ?
I’m interested too in single cell tube
They are even more, i have more in the garage too…need some Dale? Will be free for you ofc- just cover the shipping, you did a great community and developing/review BLF work for all of us.
George they are extentions, i didnt knew about their ammount till today…was quite a mess in here so i `ve decided to put an order in my stuff.
Wow! Very generous offer Mitko, I appreciate it. I would like to get some from you to be able to help out some folks here in a pinch to get a tube, wondering if I could convert the extension to work as a single cell tube? Gotta look at that again…
I don’t even seem to have an L2 these days! Waiting on Simon to get geared up again…
I guess let me know how many you’re willing to part with and PM me on a price to make it all work. Thank you!
PM sent
No worries m8, just keep that spirit of your high
PPl like you made that place as it is now.
I see y’all use that m8 for “mate” and every single time my beautiful baked Solarforce M8 comes to mind with it’s shiny finned copper pill from Bucket. Man I love that light!
Dang m8! You told me you built a lot of custom Convoy lights but I didn’t realize the volume you were talking about. Well done sir! 
:+1:
Also awesome of you to make such a generous offer to my brother in the light! :sunglasses:
SBT-70 in my convoy L6

Love that. I SOOOO wish there were more round emitters like that. Great mod.
I have 30 of them
Just now I took an XPL HI V3 3C and drove it to 7.4amps (4.4 volts) to see if it would survive. It did. I dont know output was any good at that current (didn’t test it), but in this one test it worked ok.
:+1:
I love seeing stuff like this! Thank you for sharing. More details please!
The V3’s are tough been running 2 different UT02’s on the 20700A’s 26mmFETDDVishay sir404 FET’s with copper driver adapters and both V3’s are seeing over 6.6amps the V3 5700k is at 6.81amp hitting hard just over 7amps at start up and surviving, no problems so far!
In other news today, I opened up my options to 30mm (Noctigon that is) and have several candidates for thrower emitters now that the reflector minus the stand off at the base, can sit directly on the board, with the option to shim for focus. I have a several de-domed emitters to try, and yes even a couple OLD XP-G2’s that are pulling 6.04amps at start-up and settling down to 5.80 amps. Some de-domed XP-L V6-1A’s cause the XP-L V6 0D’s suck! And of course my beloved XHP35’s HI’s and a couple de-domed E2-1A’s that are just about ready, can’t wait to see the tint shift on these! :+1:
Which variant do you have? Standard cool-white oder maybe 5700K high-cri?
You lucky then, presonaly i dont high drive those anymore, cant rely upon them, imagine if they start popping what would all those huntingfriends of mine think about me
Without a spring bypass at about 5 amps…works for me, for the rest dedoming
cold white tints are way more durable, in fact i dont recall seeing one of those with burns near the bond wires
