XHP35 is a 12v emitter. Your best bet is to run the SST-40 FETDD driver for the out put you seek, 2500lms. I have another L2 running 2S 26650 and a XHP50 @ 9amps, that is really sweet! Nice blend of throw and flood and nice tint a XHP50 J4-1D.
Have you checked out the L2/L6 modding thread.might get some info that will help….Convoy L2/L6 modding thread
Dont quite know what a FETDD driver is or where to find it, could you please explain or link me one. Also, if you know a good place to buy leds on their PCBs or the SST-40 in Neutral white 4000-4500k would be amazing.
Also these very really smart members are working on something you might be interested in LED drivers and Accessories you want, but don’t exist might want to inquire there about a 20mm 6v single cell boost driver! Your L2 is the newer model with the 20mm driver correct?
Ok, so if XHP50 6V emitter cant run out of a single 26650, could you guys explain how Klarus G20L runs a XHP70 out of a single cell…? I don’t understand.
That was the example I took for my process of thought to convert the L2 at a higher output.
If you want a FET direct drive driver and add a de-domed/shawed Sst-40 or an XP-l Hi (I guess you want throw (long range)) you could use a 17mm BLF A6 A17DD-L FET+1 driver but I’m guessing you need a 17mm to 20mm driver adaptor.
I’m guessing you want a long range flashlight. I think you should go for a Direct Drive FET driver with de-domed/shawed Sst-40 or a XP-L Hi or if you can find a good 12V driver that’s fits then go for a XHP35 Hi.
I don’t know what size of the driver the L2 have so just guessing here.
I live in the UK, and yeah, I’m looking for a thrower but I thought I could give it more output. The XPL HI works fine but could always do with more light isn’t it…?
Of course I could use the second battery on the L2 but for that matter I would have gotten the L6… I like the small profile thrower…!!
I have an L2 running a xhp35 hi with a mtn buck driver that gets 2480 lumens and 280 kcd with 4 26350 in it. I’ve been thinking about getting one of those kaidomain boost drivers in it and see how it does with 2 26350’s
Btw. If you are going for a DD FET driver make sure your emitter sits on a DTP (direct thermal path) Mcpcb and put on some good thermal paste under it like the Arctic Cooling MX-4 Thermal Compound so it can transfer the heat properly to the flashlight host.
Very nice, thanks for the beamshots and comparison. How do the tints of the new 50.2 compare to other leds Johnkey68? The photos make it seem like the 6500k is pretty warm and the 5000k looks really warm, but I know it’s pretty difficult to get accurate color temperature in most photos. Are they as warm as they look, or different in person? Thanks again, nice mod
