[Sale] Buck drivers 20, 21, 22, 24, 30mm L6, MF01, MF02/04(S), TN40S/42, BLF GT, Acebeam X45/65

Lexel, bare with me. I’m out of my realm of knowledge.
I see you have boards for the TN42. What (over stock) are the advantages gained by using your configurations?

It’s mainly the different UI. NarsilM with ramping, blinking out battery voltage, etc… It is usually way better than the stock UI’s.

You can also adjust the power output if you want. Up to 3A at 12v. If the stock light only had 2A for instance, you could bump it up a little to 2.5A and get a bit more output.

2.5A GT makes a bump from 663 to 707kcd on a TN42 I modded
current over 2.5A makes no sense, 2.7-2.8 on a good cooler there may be a few % gain in throw but also this mainly starts getting the LED to turn over to get blue very quick

Main advantage is the UI you can change so many things like you want the UI for your purpose

It sounds like the UI of the GT, which I like.
Assuming the board is plug/play, are the boards, electronics better quality? What type of output gain (reach/throw?) is .5A going to give?

the TN42 was driven at about 2.25A

as I wrote 663 to 705kcd measured with 2.5A

of course I can do any output current as you wish

That’s the barrier. I don’t know what output I wish because I have no knowledge.
My TN42 arrives Monday. I’ll compare it to others and maybe get a better idea and %’s.

Thanks Lexel, Jason

I want one please, as well as the switch with CW leds. Thank you!

I’ve realised that I’d much prefer my MF-02’s in NW. Since I don’t dare to reflow the LED myself, I was wondering if there’s a star that will fit, with an XHP35 NW already mounted?

I’ve got two lights, one with a defective driver. So if I manage to replace the star in one, I’d be happy to do the same with the other, and replace the faulty driver with the one that uses Narsil.

Really large diameter 12 volt Stars are very hard to find right now. Maybe you could find someone in the UK with the blf GT who wants to swap emitters or maybe there is a person who knows how to do reflows for you. I know Mountain Electronics is offering a Reflow service but he’s in the United States so I don’t know if it’s worth it due to the shipping costs.

Maxtoch star will fit

If you send me the star and LED I can do a reflow on my regulated heat plate for 2€

Superb, thanks - what’s a good place to get the emitters? Can get two of each (LED + star) sent to you - if you PM me details & price incl. one of your drivers, I can pay you via PP.

EDIT: Not sure if I was completely clear - both my MF-02 are in CW, so I’ve already got the stars. But if I can get the XHP35 NW LEDs sent to you, and the existing stars with CW LEDs, I guess the emitters can just be replaced. I’d be happy to let you keep the CW ones, as I’ve decided that I’ll only be getting NW lights in the future.

sure reflowing on a used star is no problem

Those are an option, but only if you convert them to 12v by cutting and adding a jumper wire.

Does the 26mm fit the MF02? I remember there was one light that it was too big for, but I cant remember which one. Lol

I fitted the MF02 a no name DTP 25mm XHP70 star modded to 12V

XPL/XHP35 footprint is always 12V there are no 6V ones
I wish XHP would be sold as 6/12V would make so much more options

That’s right, I was thinking of the people swapping in 12v xhp70, like into the GT and this light with a driver swap. The xhp35 is wired internally for 12v only.

Any news on modified PCB’s for the battery carrier? I would be interested in that for a more “OEM” solution.

…and the blinking strobe frequency goes to 18Hz as the Q8?
About the TN42 now.Is it difficult to open up this something like the GT?

Hi Lexel.
What about the TN40S?Is it possible to upgrade this as well,and what will be the benefit?

Quick question Lexel.
On the BlF GT driver for the MF02 there is one pad for the led on the driver for the switch but there are 2 leds on the switch… So do I put both on the same pad or just pick the color I want to use and go with that one?? Thanks in advance.

I sold one 8A Buck driver for the TN40 that got modded with XHP35s

So the TN40S can be modded as well to 12V Emitters

I guess the carrier needs to be modified to 4S did not find information about it

I have let made 4S boards with last PCB order

You can choose 1 color on the board without modification
Green and red have different LED voltages so only red will light up if you add both
I made new 2x2 LED Boards
you can have 2 LEDs one on Power and one from MCU
