I think that’s the HL.
Yes, Boost HL.

Another Jet II MK. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is my very first reflow
Some time ago I modded my C8 (SMO to OPR and XP-L Hi to XHP50.2, A6 driver) and was left with a very nice XP-L Hi U6-4C MCPCB. Now this LED resides on the original board of the Jetbeam. I’m really proud .
Edit: Yeah, I see it’s not centered
Looks good to me Unheard. Congrats on your first reflow!
Thanks . Now I know why I ordered some 219B .
Mine was worse. Congrats!
An amazing mod CRX!
Modded my new Tool AA V2.0 Ti:
- Reflowed a Luxeon V2 5000K
- Added a bleeder resistor (stock tailcap works ok without one, but not my custom tailcap - it needs a dependable current path). Used a 0603 footprint 750 Ohm resistor stacked across the main capacitor (see the yellow circle in the picture).
- Swapped the black tailcap for a very light green GITD one (link). The only problem with these is that they don’t have a “nub” inside, so you really need to press in order to activate the switch. To address this, I put a dab of clear silicone caulk in it and let it cure. Works great now. This lets a TON more light through than the stock black tailcap.
- Stripped the stock illuminated switch board, which is a similar set up to the Convoy add-on illuminated tailcap that utilizes a clear plastic washer to let the light get to the tailcap (albeit, somewhat inefficiently).
- Installed a battery-monitoring tailcap. It has 4 LEDs that extinguish one by one as the battery drains down.
- Attempted to strip the gold clip, but failed. After a 30 minute bath in a strong lye solution, the coating didn’t budge at all. It probably is real gold plating. It’ll stay for now. I’ll probably either just remove the clip or grab a stainless one from another light.
Nice upgrade gchart. Is it 10440 or 14500?
Oops, it’s AA / 14500. I just updated the post.
Nice and skillful mod, gchart.
That battery-monitoring tailcap is incredibly genious. I will try to build one. I need this on my flashlights.
That battery tailcap, kinda want.
The HM1160 were cheap enough that I ended up buying 40 just to even out the shipping fees :person_facepalming:
So… I could probably whip some up for folks if you know how to install them (and a bleeder resistor).
My friend use torch to de-color the clip, works well.
Btw that’s a nice mod of yours :+1:
Y’all probably know that the X6 is one of my favorite lights, right? Like, I have some 19 of these and more than 12 different emitters in use. So today I put the 90.2 in an X6, serial number 62 in the SS/Cu Limited Edition light. Really nice look, really nice power!
Using a Samsung 25S 18650 it pulls 25.5A at the tail for 5190 lumens at start (too hot to hold in 20 seconds), makes 100.6Kcd for 651.25M throw. Me Like!
SBT90.2 in such a small size sounds fun! Did you put it in the copper version?
It had to be done! :+1:
Beasty.
Pics please!!!
Did you use stock driver?
