I would love to see future lights start to be available with 20mm+ driver sizes. I have a project right now to try to modify a convoy C8 to fit the 20mm H1-A boost driver to run an XHP50.2.
Hello all, I am hoping I can get some help. When I compile the .c to .hex in avrstudio 5.0 it is successful. However when I try to write the flash to the attiny13 avrdude gives me an error (ERROR: address 0x0410 out of range at line 65) it then has the path to my .hex file. Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thank you!
EDIT: When I build the .hex file in atmelstudio 7.0 it gives an error stating the 1084 bytes 105.9% Full. What gives?
I’m not familiar with that error. But it might help to post it to the firmware howto thread. Plenty of firmware-knowledgeable folks watching that one.
In both cases, the .hex file is too big. You’re probably missing some compiler options, like -Os and -std=gnu99 , which tell it to optimize for size. See bin/build.sh for the full set of recommended compiler options.
its only SMO based L6 eqipped with a good dded S5 makes 500+k easy…yet its a chunky light and kinda heavy too…and the hotspot is only “hunting scope” worthy
What emitter do you mean ? And what driver/batteries etc setup ?
Sorry i ment S4, DD fet driver( simple one), and a slightly modded TK firmware for both keys to be operational
The battery is either Liito or Efest 4200( Efest is kinda better lately, they runined the Liito)
One could always use Olight M22/23/M2X driver too( plus 2x 26350s), thus youll have a regulation yet youll be limmited to the driver 3(+ strobe) simple modes
I asked because i have Dale’s L6 with smo reflector that it’s making 439kcd with an S2 emitter , but driven hard at 5.5 amps .
Well…centering is crusial here, a different emitter bracket too:5.5 is too much for any g2 emitter: 5 amps tops( unless its from the very old ones)
P.S
I just remembered that those SMO that Simon sent me needed a 2mm sanding too( they are from his first batch), those in the store could differ
I was gonna say, 500 don’t come easy in any light, not in this Hemisphere!
I remove the flat from the reflector completely, machine the inside of the lip and cut some off the head, machine inside the head and a couple of points on the reflector so it can seat deeper. Also machine the emitter shelf for a 26mm MaxToch copper mcpcb. Might have missed a trick, but if so it sure wasn’t for lack of trying…
Even the 440kcd is massive throw , but since Mitko mentioned it i was just wondering what the best outcome could be .
I have one last old xp-g2 s4 2b and a reflector waiting for a machined host to accept 26mm mcpcb , i must make it happen soon 
Giorgo, that L6 has an XP-G2 S2 0D de-domed, so an S4 2B should do about 20% more output, might get it up there around 500…
I don’t really know , but i hope so 
Well, even so the hotspot is too small even for my taste, the torch cant be mounted cause of its size too
The best you could make with it is W2/XHP35 mod

Try a dded XHP 35 in it m8, i did that in an L2 host and the result is great!
Pics or it didn’t happen, how did you direct drive a XHP35 8 AA batteries??/
A KD driver m8( its actualy quite decent), didnt you tested it already?
Ld 51 could be used too( its actualy even better) yet youll need 26350s and some driver bed drilling- i did that the first time i XHP 35 modded an L2 yet my XHP35 dedoming wasnt good by that time, now i got the right formula
Yeah OK! You didn’t hook the LED directly to a power source eg. directly to batteries! You controlled the current thru the driver, thats not DD in my book!
Well, most ppl do prefer having regulation and lower output levels
However, for the record and the idea of max output/throw you have a point here
What kcd are these putting out? I have read reports of 70 and 80 but none seem super accurate.
I ask because I have a black c8 with 8x7135, and a u4 dedomed. I have no idea of the kcd currently but guess it’s 50-60?
I have a maxtoch 2x for longer range duties but the c8 is my go to due to size/weight/power. Often it’s strapped to my 22 for rabbit shooting out to 100m and decent light behind subject to check firing zone
I’m just trying to justify that I need the clear c8 as well as my current one….
I am not sure if this is the right area to post this, but recently I received a Clear C8 from Simon and noticed that the frequency of the flashes during the “program” phase are slower than the Clear C8 (and a bunch of ‘new firmware’ (red PCB) S2+) that I bought a few months ago.
I prefer the slower flashes - I can count the actual number of flashes now instead of counting how many separate bursts of flashes there are I would say the frequency is approx halved.
The other thing I noticed is that not only is the flashing frequency slower, but in between flashes there is a constant very very low dim output of light (like moonlight mode - really cool actually and far lower than the lowest 0.1% mode) - since the driver is capable of driving the LED at such a low level one wishes it included as a mode somewhere in the 12 options
Was the firmware changed? Has anyone else noticed this?
