Is there anywhere I can get a precompiled Anduril hex file for the FT03?
I like it, I am skipping the FT03 for now until I get tired of these other throwers. I think the FT03 isn’t really pocketable, and I feel that everything non-pocketable is in the same category for me (for now), so the chaselight will do. We can discuss chaselight in the other thread.
I caved in and bought it, can’t pass the deal at $30. Anyone thought of using an ice pack type material as a holster/wrap to help heatsink heat during use? Not looking to use a prechilled one but just some thing to wrap around the body while remain functional and easy to carry. Also the heat must be conducted to the body well, hopefully that’s already done stock.
They sell holsters on bg for about $3 if you ask freeme for a coupon
No it’s not in TK’s collection. However Zozzlights has gotten it to work
Zozzlights and Zozzv6 are they one and the same person?
Great will do that. Thank you.
Incredibly cool

If you really like a ‘pocketable’ pocket rocket thrower, perhaps the Nightwatch NI01L Osram white-flat is worth a look: HERE
I’ve been meaning to put Anduril on mine as well. Does the integrated charging still work?
Anyone else besides me tried running 2 batteries on the ft03? Since the tube fit, I tried it. Before I even get a chance to try it regularly… not good. I think I killed it?
If you put 6 volts (technically 8.4 volts) into a 3 volt led it will die.
It’s like plugging a 110v AC unit into a 220 volt outlet. It dies.
Flashlights that run on both 1 and 2 batteries in series, like the Convoy L2 use drivers designed for the wide voltage range and send the proper voltage to the led.
If I recall the XHP50.2 is 3 volt.
It is.
Anyone sell spare board/driver for an easy fix?
I am a total newbie but I suspect you only need to reflow the LED. Maybe Jason can chime in on that.
I kind of suspect ttylamg can’t do a reflow. You can try adventure sports flashlights and see if Matt has a big 5050 mcpcb he can put it on. Otherwise you can buy just the led from overseas at Kiadomain and reflow it yourself. It seems the 3v is still a bit hard to find.
You also need to check if the driver is damaged or not. The MCU runs at a lowish voltage and uses a resistor to bring the voltage down some. The operating max voltage is 5.5 volts. If fed 8.4 volts the resistor probably won’t bring down the voltage enough. I don’t know for sure.
I would take a spare 3 volt led, xml, xpl, whatever and install it just to see if the driver is still working. You’ll probably have to test it with the reflector out so use a weak battery or be careful not to ramp up too high.
If the driver is still okay, then consider ordering a proper replacement led.
I will ask around about whether the driver will survive or not.
I contacted Mateminco, they offered me a new LED and driver for a low price, however shipping was more expensive than all parts, i remember shipping was something like 9 or 10 dollar
I still have a spare CW LED on DTP, don’t know how much shipping will be, let me check
EDIT, regular post is 5 Dollar
The button aux light still runs and operate with all the commands, does that mean driver is still good?
Awesome, yokiamy, I’ll pm you for detail thanks
