Yes, I’ve heard that the R100 was pretty much like a direct short through the resistors. Also that the stock driver will not reach 8 amps, so a R120 or R140 are the better choices.
I found a good thread on L6 resistors, I’ll add the link here:
That is correct. Thankfully the first batch sold quickly enough that Simon agreed to produce a second batch. I will post an update when they are available.
Man Scott, I don’t know if I’ve expressed this enough but those may be the most gorgeous L series builds out there. I can’t help but stare in awe! :money_mouth_face: :+1:
Great theme friends! I am looking for my next modification and I have in sight a Convoy L2 with XP-G2 dedomed, but I interested ah move to the one L6 with XP-G2 dedomado … that interesting everything I read.
Thanks for sharing
I have one from Dale , which is making 439kcd if i remember correctly.
Personally , i would use dedomed xp-l v6 , throw won’t be over 350kcd but it will have 2k lumens too.
Pretty sure the de-domed XP-L V6 won’t do 2000 lumens. Maybe 1600. Since the die is essentially an XM-L2 die it’s likely it would be doing good to make 330Kcd, but if every last trick is pulled it might fare a little better. Would be interesting to see how it stacked up huh?
There is a loss when de-doming, and many times you lose the entire emitter when trying.
And that is a quote on the new XP-L W2, not the V6. I’ve seen the W2 make 2000 lumens and a little, but the V6 won’t do it. The W2 is not so easy to acquire.
And, no offense to Mitko, but his numbers always are higher than anyone elses. I know, they said that about me for a long time, but if Mitko’s numbers are even higher than mine, after all the crap I’ve taken over my own high numbers, well……
So I’m about to pull the trigger on an L6. I’m going to get the full flashlight and swap in a XHP70 P2 1C and use the original XHP70 in something else.
Should I just go with RMM’s 30mm L6 driver? Is it hard to reprogram? And which 26650s? I’d prefer to buy them from RMM so I can get them before Christmas.
The stock driver is quite good unless you just want to go for max output. In the mid range modes the stock driver will be better.
If you want max output the Texas Avenger 30mm should be ready shortly. I have the PCB’s, just don’t have the parts and waiting for a few updates in narsil to release it. Or you can build it yourself as well, I am selling the PCB’s bare as well due to how much they cost from Oshpark.
