Warsun Zoomie X65. Bro of UF1405?

The wide zoomable convex lens(67mm)

1*18650/1*26650 battery

Tail Cap Switch

Wow - mine came with it, but I paid the higher price before they had (or I knew) the deal was on. It was either loose or taped to the box. Inside the light was the AA carrier. I recall the cheap white box was totally smashed, and was surprised the light suffered no consequential damage. The X65 box, though same type envelope was about pristine.

My TMART tri-color though got the USPS tour - came to a hub just a few miles away on LI, then shipped to Cincinnati, then to NJ, then back to LI -- had to kill some time I guess... At least they seemed to hurry it's return trip - 4 days to Ohio, then just 1 day to NJ and LI.

Edit: 32650's don't fit, just like an X3. Wish the X3 came with this 26650 adapter though - tried one in the X3 and works well.

I built my Nut Model with a dedomed XM-L2 t5 5c1 and a Qlite driver. It has a very small spot and a very wide flood, as expected. It draws a tenth of an ampere more with the 3 x AA holder I got from Gearbest http://www.gearbest.com/diy-parts-and-tools/pp_89760.html than with the one that came in it.
Warsun on lower left, stage lighting Fresnel lens light on upper right. They draw similar current, but the huge stage lighting lens catches more of the light.

It looks like I nicked the side of the dedomed XM-L2 while installing it.

The Gearbest coupon for the nut light (SEZQ3) has expired.
I ordered a third one. This time from Tmart, where there is an 11 hour price of $8.99.
I am thinking that I will use one for an XHP50 with three 14500s and a buck driver. And one as three color, but replacing the cool and warm white LEDs with purple and maybe yellow or green. The big long focal length lens will make a nice spot with a multi-die LED. I have an “LD-2D 3A 2-3 Cells Circuit board for 6V LEDs” on order from International Outdoors. This will probably give less than three amps., but maybe it will be more stable with battery voltage than a “linear” driver with two cells and be more efficient than a linear driver with three cells.

Wow. I’m just going to follow you around (grin) …

A 50 mm. lens arrived. This one I think: http://www.dx.com/p/50mm-optical-glass-lens-for-flashlight-spot-light-44653#.VdKJD5cy1uY, though the package didn’t say anything I understood. It has a somewhat shorter focal length and a slightly larger useful area, so I consider it a worth while improvement, depending on the use. The optical quality seems good as far as I have seen.

Is this a LatticeBright?

Not sure, it’s sure got bad enough tint and output. I’ll check.

I am trying to mount a 6 V buck driver from IOS on a copper disc for cooling and ground. So far I have learned that traces on boards aren’t strong enough to bend attached solid copper wire, and that you have to solder a wire to the heavy thing before you solder the other end to a lighter thing.
I may start a new thread on it when it starts to go better.

Are those Warsun shipping with XM-L2 leds?

mine (from bg) came with xm-l2 i think…

off center btw…

Oh that is great if its XM-L2 :slight_smile: Thanks

I have a Warsun X65 that was re-shipped soon after 12/17/2015. The Cree XM-L appears to be genuine, phosphor surrounds the bond wire pads on all sides. The original shipment on 10/15/2015, that was lost, may have had an XM-L2, as described, but these were apparently no longer available by the time of the second shipment. (So I paid for an XM-L2 and got an XM-L, but I got free tracking on the second shipment, and the loss doesn’t appear to be there fault.)

I ordered the xm-l from BG USA warehouse and it came with xm-l2

I intend to modify the Warsun X50 (same as X65) for my little son. He wants over 600 m throw to excel his buddies, which means about 100000 cd. Is this possible with dedomed XP-G2, stock driver and about 1500 mA out of 3xx eneloop pro? How much output may I expect with XP-L HI?

You should look to see if there is a resistor to bypass in the driver. Most budget flashlights have a small FET in series with a resistor (usually 2 to 4 resistors in parallel). With a Cree LED, one can safely short across the resistors. Sometimes there is an extra LED connection pad on the board to switch to. I did once find the little FET didn’t work right with that much current. Better would be to switch to a BLF driver from BangGood or from Mountain Electronics, but you would need an adapter plate to make it fit.

Thanks for the info. I have a couple of drivers here. The light shall be used with 3xAA NiMh, and it pulls already about 1.5 amps at tailcap. So I first try what I can achieve with a dedomed XP-G2 and only change or mod the driver if I won’t get the desired throw. I want to stay at the safe side since this light is used by a child.

Success!
Throw increased from about 35000 cd to 114000 cd = 675m with 3x AA at 1.5 amps. Only replaced LED with XP-G2 dedomed.
Son is happy …

Driver diameter? Available height for it? PWM?

Cheers ^:)

Driver is somewhere between 27-28mm if I’m remembering correctly, and there is a good bit of height. I’ve seen members use drivers with fairly tall inductors on them.
