Don’t bother with that driver… Swap with the one you like. Since this is around 20mm driver you could use it as a host and piggy back 17mm fet driver for example.
Thanks!
On led is written : XPG - U2
Will work fine with that driver?
Or is better to buy also a good led and yes will cost quite enough but I will turn the cheapo into a real beast?
I have Convoy S2 and C8 on the road in 2-3 days will arrive,Zanflare cost too much for a budget member, I don’t want to move on candle forum but I don’t know why I fell the need to repair that cheapo, I hear my brothers in lights screaming : mod ,mod,mod,mod !!!
I have two identical flashlights; but be careful about the changes: the LED does not have a dissipation base, it is only held by a ring, and the LED rests on the edges of the ring; Pil, in practice, does not exist
Just direct drive it and be happy with high mode only. It won’t cost you nothing but don’t use it more than a minute or two continuously or you’ll cook the emitter.
I have a weak spot for cheapo lights too.
And for that price this seems interesting, with its 26650 size and an e-switch.
But that’s where the problems begin: The driver obviously sucks… And now yours is broken.
The LED is a fake Cree of course, so that has to go too.
But is it worth the work as a host?
How is the anodizing? (but then again, you could always de-anodize it in a lye solution)
How are the threads?
Does it have a tail switch too? (pics on AE suggest there is a tail switch)
Could you take some pictures of the parts and post them here?
Finally somebody understand: is a SuperLight and I cannot put to trash a superlight.
Don’t have cooper pill or authentic cree but found thermal paste behinde led.
Now seriously works with 26650 and I have couple and have very nice beam and strong enough for a cheapo.
What I have in my mind ?
Because allready ordered S2 ,C8 and now F1 (12.99-thanks) I want to use spare parts that I have , to adapt driver , drill tail and put there ordinary switch and back to life that SuperLight.
Ah, thanks for the tear down picture. :+1:
I can’t really see it too well, but when you say the LED board has thermal grease on the back, it means the pill has a shelf, it is not hollow.
A plastic reflector, but those can be good too.
Enough threads on the battery tube too.
All the O-rings are there.
How about the lens? Is it glass or plastic?
With a normal driver you could use the side switch for “turbo blast”
You could switch a FET with that, or an extra bunch of 7135. (for example, 6x 7135 driver and 6 extra 7135 for ‘turbo’)
Could be good with a SST-40 LED.
ifratos flashlight works only in SOS. SOS mode will enter only by holding down the side switch for a long time; so for me, the driver is good but the side switch is locked to “on”
Yes; insert the battery and then make short contact with the negative pole; it should enter other modes (low, strobe) for about two seconds, after about two seconds, the switch in ON will have the upper hand.
