Dang missed the S2 1D Dedomed!
Hi Guys!
I don’t post on BLF very often but I do skim the threads once in a while. A buddy pointed me to this thread which I thought was interesting. I don’t have this light in hand yet to play with but from what I have read it’s probably perfect already. New XPL domeless is coming out so that could potentially be an upgrade option thought pricey to do and wouldn’t be a lot different than the factory XPL dedome LEDs. Might get a whiter tint …
Driver doesn’t seem like it could be boosted much more as the inductor is already over-saturated at 30A. Any more boost than that would put the inductor on death row…
This driver is too good to be tossing out for another setup as it would give short initial momentary gain at best … So if anything may be a tiny boost, add lots of thermal cubes cooling for the driver and may be put in the new XPL domeless and call it a day.
Thermal cubes? Really? What gauge of wire is being used in the inductor? I'd see a trace blow off the board before an inductor winding separating. Again, depending on the gauge.

These stuff works like a dream. In one of my light it makes the difference between life and death for the light.
IF there is a room a chunk of copper Heat sink and thermal pads might also be able to fit…
I'm holding a sack of these thermal cubes in my hand right now.. Very smooshy. I sure as hell hope its not sponge like. That would mean there is air in it. And we all know what that means.. They seem very densely packed. I'll have to put one under a microscope. Who makes these? I would like to know how they are manufactured.
I like the copper heat sink idea..
Thermal pads is for the driver’s heat. The copper is for the LED’s heat.
Even generic silicone has 10x the thermal conductivity of air. Silicone designed for thermal applications is 30+ times better. I looked it up a while back when someone was asking about these cubes.
Hey! get back to reflowing with your new toy....
I knew there had to be a logical explanation for these little cubes, I wondered why they felt so cold in my fingers. Thanks Mr. knife man..
I only saw 2
@ Hank:

Despatched to overseas (Country code: AT)
Just got a couple this light in XPG2 CW. Very impressive build quality and performance 
Did some tweaks!
- Current boosted
- Arctic silver thermal paste upgrade for LED Copper pad
- Extra solder added onto driver for more driver heat sinking
- Complete thermal padded for all surface of driver
- Battery carrier springs upgrade
I am going to try XPL Dome on too see what it’s like. Must be very bright!
how did you remove the optics?
https://www.bizgoco.com/product/Thermal-Conductivity-Silicone-Rubber.html You can buy sheets,rod’s. chunks of it and make your own. I grind (grate)it up and mix it with RTV11 or SikaFlex and pot my D36 modules and drivers with it.
All the old orders have been shipped.
We will accept the new orders, but only in dark grey version.
