Dang - though I got 3 Y3's around here already, I'm gonna order at least one more, just dunno how many more Smile. I do love this light - overall quality for the price and a HD2010 format but better, and just finished a MT-G2 mod on one using the stock driver, 2 26650 cells, adding a 0805 R100 resistor, and measured 4.6A at the tail with a MT-G2 on a Noctigon, with a UCL/p lens, getting 2,329 OTF lumens and 43.5 kcd measured at 5m.

Note: all my lumens and kcd measurements are "my own" taken on an older LX1330B meter - kcd taken indoors and lumens in a PVC constructed lightbox, accuracy can be freely debated Smile (CYA all the way...)

18650 adapters together with extension tubes:
- Yes, the plastic 18650 adapter is included(!!)

Tom E: Thanks for sharing your mod results! Seems like I need to buy some MT-G2 emitters.. :)

17

4,6Amps in the tail with 2 cells is it ~9 amps to the led?

18

Code for tubes is still not working for me, 1 for $2.99, 2 for $9.38, 3 for $15.77.

19

MT-G2 is 6v, so 4,6*0,8*8,4/6=5,152a and less @ led?

20

Weird, but just checked and it happens to me too. I informed GB, let's hope they get it fixed soon.

21

I dunno for sure, but thinking ~4.6A, maybe less to the LED. The MT-G2 runs at a higher voltage than a XM-L2, so the voltage output of the 2 cells in series is delivered to the LED, unlike a buck driver for an XM-L2. How this buck driver regulates the MT-G2? No idea... I'm sure there are loss's from the cells to the LED - always is with buck drivers.

22

Works now: 1 for $2.99, 2 for $5.98, 3 for $8.97 :)

23

Might have to order them separately. I was able to order a second tube @ $2.99.

24

Thanks. They fixed the tube coupon, but the FL coupon is still only good for 1 unit.

25

Ordered one. This will be my first Yezl Y3. I think this will be a better hold in my hand than the Small Sun ZY-T08.

26

Thing with these lights is the batteries and charger cost more than the lights. Ordered one with tubes, thanks for the discount the. I think going to let my in-law buy the batteries. I know giving a gift that doesn’t work is strange, but I can’t get myself to buy new batteries!

Might change my mind though… I’m already 6 batteries behind :slight_smile:

27

Thanks to the for setting this up. I did miss the other GB from GB.

Ordered one plus two tubes. My brother-in-law has been wanting a good cheap thrower to wow his Boy Scout troop on night hikes to spot animals, so he got in on the deal also.

Did I read a thread here about some potential slow shipping with GearBest? I never ordered from them before.

28

Shipping from GB has been decent for me. Not as fast as FT or IOS, but not like some people experienced. I’m not sure if it was just people outside the USA, but some people had big shipping delays.

29

Is it a bad idea to use this light with 10 extension tubes?

30

Depends what you want to use it for.

Killing spiders on a high ceiling, fine.

31

Very nice idea, I think the driver would like to get 42 volts…

32

How many volts can it handle?

33

I ordered one with 2 tubes. Has anyone tried 4 or 5 * C batteries? I am thinking about it. I have two other 3 * 26650 lights that run off C batteries. Not as well as 26650 but good enough in an emergency

34

Could always use C high cap NiMH.
