The XHP70.2 8,000 Lumen BLF-GT With Beam Shots!!!!!!!

This will definitely require VTC6’s or 30Q’s either way!

Thank you for another awesome video :beer: This is exactly the mod I plan to do over the weekend, What width shim did you end up using for proper focus of the XHP-70.2, did you have to change it after dedome? I like the DIY tool you made for dedoming the LED without removing it :+1: What width is that metal guide you used for cutting the dome?

Can’t wait for my XHP-70.2 order from MTN to arrive today…!

Thanks

Very impressive results. I rounded all my prior numbers down as I was worried they might be unreasonably high. Good to see that someone else got even better numbers.

Also, some of the difference in the readings can be attributed to the tint. I as well as others have noted rather significant differences in readings when testing LED’s of the same bin but with different tints. Sometimes as much as 10-15%.

I just posted the drivers for sale here: Texas Avenger Driver for the XHP70.2 GT

The mcpcb’s are still unknown. I think lumintop will make them but no idea when.

Till then this sinkpad should be able to work with some sanding of the edges:

Although I would not use it with an 80cri LED, they pull too much current and I would worry about them overheating on the aluminum.

In for 4* xhp70.2 mcpcbs :smiley:

I would be fine with that. I got an MF04 on preorder, that’s why I’m asking. :smiley:

I’d definitely be in for an led and board (if sold together) would be even better if we could somehow order a ‘kit’ with the resistor, led and board…… wishful thinking maybe :stuck_out_tongue:
Either way 1 board please.

A kit is what I have had in mind from the start. :wink:

Nice one TA :+1: You da man! :sunglasses:
Oh and forgot to thank VOB for another great video! Cheers man!

If there’s ever a kit available I’m totally in for a set

With a bit careful centering and if you are willing to drill new holes it is possible to get also a 25mm LED board fitting in the GT like I did with a CFT-90

I also have made a new driver with lastest development in way more efficient P-Channel mosfets utilized

note for GT the center viases on spring pad taped with Kapton

Today I sliced sanded and polished 3 MCPCBs for GT and this emptied my stock on boards and LEDs for now

I am in

The kit should include the MCPCB with the XHP70.2, driver and the centering plate.

PS. Another option, for those who have few skills, the complete light engine assembled.

there is no new centering plate needed

another great video!
thank you for making them :slight_smile:

Unlike the buck driver that can maintain constant output until the voltage drops out of regulation, the FET version will taper off the lumens as the voltage drops. Same as all direct drive lights.

I’m thinking the GT host is just a bigger version of the L6 and I have a similar setup in an L6 (a lot of us do). The stock GT with 35w output will get hot, but can handle the heat without stepping down. The FET setup is closer to 120w. I’m sure it can handle the heat for several minutes. Maybe 5? Probably not more than 10 min. I’m just guessing here. It’s a crap ton of heat, that’s for sure.

Maybe VOB can give us a better idea of how long it can maintain turbo before needing to step down.

I just finished modding my GT using the TA GT driver and an XHP-70.2 P2 Led

I LOVE THIS (expeletive) LIGHT!!!

Here are some pictures I took comparing it to my other throwy flooder, the Acebeam K60 which is using a XHP-70.2 P2 Led, the GT totally Pwns it.

Left Acebeam K60 on turbo, right GT XHP-70.2 on turbo

I did not want to unsolder the brass button of the original driver so I used a belt sander to make a copper button out of a sinkpad MCPCB it is 11 mm in diameter and 1.54mm in width

I used 18ga wire, BTW here is the correct wiring.

The lights works fine but I have this problem, when I turn off the light 2 dies stay on and the switch leds don’t light up. they do work since I see them blinking when turning on or off the light, I think the modified SD75 MCPCB might be bleeding some current to those dies instead of the switch, hopefully TA will offer the proper MCPCB’s

Life is good!!! :sunglasses:

Alex, what driver is that exactly? Did you switch to a FET as opposed to resistor modding the stock driver?

Is TA selling FET drivers for the GT or is it from Lexel?

Its one of these TA has (Or had) 5 left…

Thnx for the nice vid! And verry nice results :+1:

If there is demand I let produce more of those Buck boards

Price will go down a little to 22$ per driver

AWESOME video as always VOB!

My question is…. for someone not adept to do a mod like this, can you mod my light for me?

Also, any idea how this mod compares to Vinhs CFT90 as far as performance goes?

Thanks much!
