XHP-35

Thats a sweet light. Thanks for sharing.

The high-CRI Zebralights sound nice, but I worry about whether they’ve finally fixed their tinted lenses and if the emitters still make a Cree rainbow. It could turn out to be a much lower CRI than advertised, depending on details like that.

Now, if they used a dome-less emitter, that would help a lot. And an untinted lens.

Even more amazing is that they accomplished this with a comparatively small boost driver that scales up to 12V or more from a 4.2V cell. I hope they can maintain CC boost regulation down to the claimed 2.7V LVC. Very cool indeed!

XHP35A-00-000-0D0BD40E3
die at 1.8A

4 elements with the 12V supply voltage.
One of the segments extinguished.

Can some one sum this up for me please? i bought a XHP35 and i would love to put in my convoy L2? how does that sound?

You’ll probably have to use 4 18350’s in series to get the voltage to run the emitter. I don’t know of any boost driver to up the voltage of two 26650’s to meet the 12v requirement.

Link to the driver?

The LD-51 does that trick. Driver for XHP35 LD-51
I’m currently talking with gearbest about that driver.
It’s not a direct replacement, it’s 28mm instead of 20.

Any ideas about modes? How many and what percentage?

Thanks guys for the help

I am not a big fan or 4 cells. I would rather a boost driver if i can. Even if it is not as efficient.

2 18650’s/26650’s with boostdriver will have more runtime than 4 18350’s.

yea i would rather two 18650’s running at 2amp so its bright.

Looks like LD-51 is now available @ Kaidomain: http://www.kaidomain.com/product/details.S025108

Ok, now, who’s gonna buy one and figure out how to mod for higher current output?

Good question? Did you look at KD photos showing different power modes… none of them make much sense, especially the last one showing 1.6A @ 14V clearly being displayed on a bench power supply.

It’s DIY driver from Inferion (like in the Meteor)
You can made it :slight_smile:

How do i fit the LD-51 in the L2? I will have to make sure it fits i guess…

sooooo Which should I expect more “impressive” throw from, given all else is equal: A dedomed XPG2 at 4.5amps, or an XHP35 HI at 1amp? I know to be precise we need more specific info, but give it your best guess.

I’m assuming the XPG2, just making sure I’m thinking clearly

In theory and from what Dale has posted, it would seem they are very close to each other. Makes sense as the XHP35 is nothing more then 4 XG-G2 dies put together, so in theory assuming you drive it to the same level it would have the same surface brightness and thus the same throw.

The difference is that the XHP35 should net you 4x the lumens, 4x the spot size and WAY better tint options. I mean they have lots of high CRI XHP35 HI options out there, sure you give up a few lumens but who cares except for the ragged edge lumens/throw lights.

In theory, yes, but there’s no way I get 4x the lumens. Aren’t most people getting 1500-1800lumens at that driver current? But the 35 is XP-E2 dies I thought, so it’s also not 4x as big.

edit: actually at only 1amp they’re closer to 1300 lumens.

The tint is a good thing though, hadn’t even thought about that.

This would be in a Courui with FX35 driver btw. I’m not sure if that driver can be modded to get more amps or not.
