Wow, you guy’s are getting sweet throw numbers from such a cheap light. I remember seeing the OP but never came back until djozz showed his light in the ‘what did you mod today’ thread. Still not sure I’ll buy one though.
LOL, BLF minds think alike, was looking for that board as well. The only seller that has the Maxtoch boards a bit cheaper ($3) is Banggood, and they are out of the 26mm XP version.
That is fairly cheap source for USA citizens. But unfortunately Europe does not have that kind of vendor. So we depend on slow boat from China.
But I also know that Mitko has incredible knowledge in finding electrical stuff for cheap probably because this is part of his daily job and he for example managed to find old school XP-G2 S4 2C emitters and shared the link. BTW Mitko did you spend them all already? I managed to get couple of them and than when I found that they are good old ones and when I wanted to order more they disappeared.
Btw S42C is same in performance like S32B but tint would not be everyone choice. It was really something magical in performance of old S42B that disappeared into oblivion.
I checked in my stache and I do have 4 S42B that I bought from Richard ages ago. Still in the little baggie and marked as he marks them…. still in the tape. So those 4 are confirmed, I’ll just have to find out what was in my Meteor and see if I can find those. I used to use 2B in virtually all my triples before the XP-L HI came out so who knows what I have around here.
I just opened the head of my modded Supwildfire with Black Flat again because I wanted to see if I could center the led just a bit better. And not only did I manage to center it slightly better (almost but not quite perfect now), I have now closed the bezel fully which feels better too.
Of course I could not resist measuring throw again:
30Q battery at 4.13V, measured at 7.000 meter distance, 30 seconds after switch-on: 353 kcd. So a tiny bit better
