BLF style 18650 1s thrower( poor mans Olight M2X)

LED Flashlights – General Info 18650 Flashlights

I was looking at the same host some days ago , and i wasn’t sure if it has a hollow pill etc (and now you told us :wink: , so i’ll probably get one) .

With a dded xp-l v6 i think you would get 240-250kcd easily . The UT02 that has a 50-52mm reflector gives even 250-255kcd with dded xp-l v6 .

Thanks , i always appreciate your mods .

Yeah its a very good host to mod indeed, especialy considering its price vs quality ratio

And its a pure BLF torch:)

Something that i forgot to add early: its pill it an exact T20/UF1505 match whitch makes it very easy to mod even with a CU pill, yet i dont think thats needed, there is only a slight candela drop after 2min due to the heat, the body takes it very well realy

Also, the tail button is the bulky Otmen, and could be easy FW modded too: very good at default, its just one has to remove the useless tail spring cap( or solder it)

Thanks Mitko

I just picked one up off eBay.

Who knows, it may become my first mod candidate

8

Bought one too!!

Thanks

Available again at 11 dollars.

12

Its good that they brought it back- for 12$ its maybe the best DIY BLF thrower atm

It aint good by default yet the default emitter is original and the driver could be tiny 13 modded

13

Thanks for the tip Mitko, I just bought one on AE, $13.80 now. Let’s see what I can mod it with :slight_smile:

14

Maybe I’ll go real budget and dedome the stock Led, how is the stock star?

15

Mitko, you have PM.

16

Thats the idea m8, i used HI emitter cause i was forced too, dded XML would be ways better for candelas, even for the tint: its kinda cool white by default so it would end u like 4500k or something.

I am sure youll hit 200k cds easy, even if you attiny13 mod the default driver, its EAST92

One thing thats quite important: since the reflector has quite a wide base the emitter MCPCB should be at least 26+ mm

Olight m22 mcpcbc work perfectly in that host btw, and i have like 20 of those laying arround( leftovers form modded m22s :slight_smile:

17

26mm mcpcb for xm-l2 isn’t that expensive (compared to the xp-l one) : http://www.banggood.com/MAXTOCH-Copper-Star-Board-With-Direct-Thermal-26x1_6mm-p-944114.html?rmmds=search

18

I hate when I buy something and right after I find it cheaper LOL!!!

19

Thanks for the ideas. Ordered that mcpcb. Looking foreward for this oldschool budget build. :beer:

20

Thanks, Mitko! Just ordered one.

Now I need to decide whether to install an XP-E2 or 219c. (Both dedomed, of course)

21

XPG m8, e2s are too weak, 219c cant be dedomed properly

For most XML woild look great overall , especialy considering the lumen/candela ratio

22

Is the reflector base broad at the led opening like the HD2010 which caused no end of shorts?

23

Yes, thats why i suggested a mcpcb at least 26mm, otherwise the reflector quality is quite decent, as good as a Convoy C8

P.S

ordered another one and i saw the guy bumped the price

24

HD2010 is the 26650 version of this light ? I mean same reflector size and not so pricey in general .
