Yeah it’s a serious emitter. Hopefully it will become easier to get, if not cheaper. I think with all of the mods on here the emitters came from lantend in China. They came bare. The footprint is close enough to the MTG that those MCPCBs work.
I was hoping for a little bit more but I’m not disappointed. You saw 22.5A with the 30T? Apparently the K75 driver pushes 28A. Not sure how we can boost the current with direct drive mods; a few VTC5A in parallel? I was thinking a amutorch AM30 with its 3x 18650 in parallel would be a good host for this LED.
Yep me too, I was expecting more cd , but I look at it (now) like a de-domed SST40 (throw) on steroids, so it will do… It’s an impressive, tough, hungry, heat generating LED…
. I saw 22.5A with a 30T and on an Ohm RUN 21700. I suspect it’s all the stock FT03 driver can give, (didn’t change the FET I do have plenty of Infineon and SIR800 though) with 18awg bypassed springs and 18awg leads….I messed a bit with shimming but it was a minor gain…
. I would like to try it in a Lumintop SD75 just need to come up with a 4P carrier… I sent Victor a e-mail… see what he can do…. maybe get me a couple whole kit (s) like for the GT?
after reading of darkening domes I decided to open up and check my Jaxman U1 nichia. All was good behind the UV pass glass so….
The mod: NERFED the driver down to a single 7135 cleaned and reassembled.
Now I have to use it more!
Put a 3V XHP50.2 in an emisar D1.
The D1 host is a handy little mini thrower, but its reflector has held it back. The center section of the reflector deviates from parabolicity so it’s impossible to completely focus smaller emitters like the 2mm WF or even the stock XPL HI. This results in decreased throw since not all of the reflecting surface is used for the hotspot.
So I put in a sliced XHP50.2. The emitting surface is large enough to get better focus of the reflector. I usually have a hard time deciding what emitter to put in what light (because most of my lights don’t have actual uses, just theoretical uses 
). So in this case it was nice to have the decision made easier by the reflector.
With stock springs and a VTC5A it pulled 16A at turn on and did 46kcd at about 5s. From my ceiling bounce I estimate 3300 lumens.
Edit: in fact partly because of the better utilization of the reflector area, this mod about equals the throw of the stock XPL HI, but with 3x the lumens. :laughing:
An amazing pic EasyB!
Thanks. There is diffuse sun light doing a bit of phosphor excitation and my phone camera does a HDR thing which makes pics look real good.
Not really a mod, but it might give inspiration
I made a double flashlight tripod mount from a 1U server rack cover, the plan is to make beamshots and flashlight comparisons.
Good idea. - I wont say what my first thought was… 
A dirty mind is a joy forever 
Broom holder?
hahahaha
Modded an empty bottle of my favorite rum into some X-mas lighting.
Put a lighted tailcap on my brandnew Panda White Lumintop Tool AA 2.0 HM.
And made this light available in my 3k post GAW.
Fitted a 5a 2s mantaray driver into a jax Z1 with a nice 80 CRI MT-G2 for the ultimate flooder
Love seeing the MT-G2 getting some attention! Sweet!
Copper Tool
installed E21a 3500k and fully captive clip
due to a series of mishaps, and unanticipated outcomes,
the clip now fits in my preferred hat lamp orientation
2 cheap eBay lights with 2 cheap eBay LED's, yes I was bored.
Pretty vintage led now . but i still prefer it to the Bill Gates summoning Xhp70.2, im not sure what the lumen count is at 5 amps but it certainly lights a nice area
I still have multiple lights with MT-G2, including a triple that I built from scratch. Love the tint this big emitter makes and surprisingly enough it can have a nice beam profile in the right reflector. Also have an old BTU Shocker that I fitted with MT-G2’s, in this light there is a defined hot spot that is surprisingly small… really do love em!
Edit: Was forgetting about the massive TrustFire TR-J20 that I built a huge heat sink for and fitted with 4 MT-G2’s… it’s making almost 15,000 lumens while the other two big ones are in the 10,000 to 12,000 range. Yup, really do love the MT-G2 and like seeing it being put to use.
Edit II:
I have 19 MT-G2’s in use, in (I think) 12 flashlights. Probably forgetting something…
