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.
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.
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.
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
Lexel i am interesting for the whole package for MF 02 with stock emmiter (NW)
I want driver for 2.5 amp, cutted battery pcbs (any posibility to send me the battery pcbs with buttons and good quality springs ???) and two color switch correctly wired to the driver)
thanks
The MF02 carrier MCPCB and springs are pretty good quality
It is easy to mod those 2 in less than 5 Minutes
I measured on another Manufactor for the carrier rods diameter for the MCPCB holes and those do not fit the MF02 without drilling holes, but this is reducing the 4 main viases making electrical connection less good
