That driver is pretty snugly press fitted, maybe even glued, I wasn’t been able to take it out (although I did not force it) but here is a method that sometimes can give good results:
you will need something round with flat surface like a cap from deodorant or similar as bigger as it can fit into lights head.
You will also need 3M double sided sticky tape but not the spongy one which is more than 1 mm thick, you need the thin kind.
Then just stick one side of the tape to flat surface of the cap, peel off second side of sticky tape and press the whole thing to center of the driver,
now try to pull it out little by little wiggling from side to side but really slowly.
I’m afraid I’ll damage it to pull the driver out. Someone did a not so good of a job putting it in and scratched up some of the threading already and the edge of the driver.
Someone was asking earlier about XML2 in the fancyflashlights Warrior, and yes it has XML2s: one less bond wire in the LEDs.
Mine is perfect cosmetically, all power leds function fine, and no single XM-L glow when turning it off.
Its my first multi-emitter XM-L light and I’m impressed, it’s a wall of light in my large yard at night and also throws farther than I expected.
Nice size as well, and for $35 it’s a bargain since a good P60 host and drop in can run about the same.
I like the UI but would have preferred a High/Low and rampable.
Yes, the light is here at FT and the coupon code BLF will take an additional 5% off.
Just checked and my total was actually $35.76, great deal for a well made triple XM-L light.
Oh man that’s tempting, I had in my head they were $45, no idea why. How is it compared to the SRK, just a tiny bit longer?Anyone got a size comparison photo?
It is only marginally smaller in diameter, but feels smaller that the dimensions indicate. My SRK is the FT $38 version, a disappointment in terms of output - absolutely no comparison to the Warrior (even allowing for the XML2 in the latter).
XM-L2 Warriors exist? Maybe that’s what I was thinking about for $45?
Link for XM-L2 please? I’d pay a bit more for newer, slighter brighter emitters, and CW is fine by me.
I have an excellent CNQG black SRK, even if the Warrior is the same brightness, the better modes and slightly smaller size would make it worth it to me. Warrior would have less run times on high though.
