Please tell me the dimensions on the need spacer, so i can figure out. If this is something that i could be try and build myself, maybe by stacking mcpcbs or reflowed copper plates together, or if i need to wait for a GB for the needed spacer, because it is an tricky shape to it.
cajampa, I think itâd be pretty easy to use a couple of extra copper mcpcbâs or a disc if you have those available. A 16mm in the pocket, then stack 20âs on top of that to get the right heightâŚprobably 2 without actually measuring it out. Then thereâd be more copper under the triple to sponge up the heat.
Realistically, youâre not gonna run a triple very long in this light as it will get hot fast. But the small tube shape makes it very easy to carry and a triple would be a huge flood of light from this host that overall wouldnât be/isnât much larger than the cell that powers it. Iâve got one of the Convoy tube lights that ComfyChair modded for Richard and itâs a potent little number to be sure! I like that it slips easily into a camera bag or almost anywhere.
Sounds good & doable thanks Dale.
A triple XP-L will of course get very very hot quick, but that is what modes & off is for
And i think IOS said something about XP-G2 3D being available soon (maybe they already are, i havenât checked).
Could a triple XP-G2 be a not so hot option? If not 3D i wouldnât even consider it, but now it is as far as i know the only 3D available.
It is always fun to, i would say almost half of it or more work out a possible upgrade path, before i even get the light.
The XP-G2âs will get hot as well as theyâll be more overdriven. Remember that theyâre rated at 1.5A. A good triple with XP-G2âs will easily pull much more than 4.5A, typically 9A or more. So the heat is still there from the overdrive thing.
Drive 3 XP-L at 9A and youâre within specs, making less heat and far more lumens.
(Then again, if you drive 3 XP-L at 15AâŚ)
Good points
I guess i will have to wait for more nice tint emitters to show up in XP-L (we snagged up the last few available from Richard but those i have already plans for), and maybe take it easy with the low resistance mods, maybe even do some high resistance mods to keep the amp in check if needed on the triple XP-L.
I would take four of it in NW.
It is so dark here 8)
Thanks.
Nevertheless - I am in for 1x nw
+ 1x cw
So, 1x nw and 1x cw for me, pls.
I have a feeling more than a thousand of these little lights will sell.

Ok, a more thorough exam⌠Krono wanted me to go ahead and bypass the tail pcb for him, so I put a 22 ga wire through the board to help keep it reliable and solid. Same 22 ga on the top end. Theyâve already got 22 ga on the driver as it turns out, so I left that alone.
So what Iâve done to Kronoâs light is put a copper Noctigon under the factory emitter, and add 2 little short pieces of 22 ga wire for the current to run through (the bypasses). Hereâs the resultsâŚ
0.01A at 00.93 lumens
0.03A at 13.97 lumens
0.15A at 62.45 lumens
0.38A at 191.48 lumens
1.48A at 439.19 lumens
2.96A at 852.15 lumens
5.65A at 1490.4 lumens with a 30 second run showing 1418 lumens.
I started with amp readings, then measured the lower outputs firstâŚ. so the cell wasnât fresh full hot for the max Turbo readings. So these numbers are pretty real world like youâd see in normal use. The 30 second run in the light box had the head pretty warm, almost hot, but still it didnât drop all that much, what, 72 lumens? So not shabby at all!
With 5 of these samples in hand, I am seeing some different numbers on the mosfets and even one completely different set-up (which we knew about) The oddball one uses 2 smaller mosfets and while it pulls more current it doesnât make as many lumensâŚ. not as efficient so it wonât be our choice at all. There is some variance between the different samples, but itâs slight and really insignificant. Best as I can tell, with limited actual run time clocked, these look pretty much good to go. Get the copper in there on the top and call it the best group buy ever.
cajampa, put a 3200mA Panasonic BD in the triple⌠let it be the resistance, it should do some 6-7A and have the best run time to boot.
Edited my miscue on the capacity of the BD.
Sounds good & doable thanks Dale.

Dang! Iâm gonna have to be the official poster boy for Eagle Eye! lol
I LOVE their little lights! With 8 hot rodded X6âs ranging from 1800 lumens (single XM-L2) to 5500 lumens (single XHP-70) and now this little beastie, I have far more Eagle Eye lights than any other brand. Worthy, if you ask me. And I have 2 more X6âs to build to complete my top 10 EDC collection.

just some copper boards and this will be the BLF epic edition.
LOL !...Thanks D. Couldn't figure out how to embed the video...This clip seemed MOST appropriate for your updates.
the final sold version will have a dtp copper MCPCB - right?
