Yep very narrow.
here is very quick un edited in camera jpg shot indooss just now on my bed.
I have two of these , identical, one is set to max zoom, …just about to drop off the thread, the other max flood.
I have shot a load of others, of the pill etc, that I will put up on the other thread I mentioned earlier
OK, so they have sent me two new lenses…DHL on their way.
So the recommendation seems to be an XP-G2
what is the max safest current I can drive this at? I see 4 amps being mentioned before, but was this with any specific cooling? more than the ‘standard’ pill to body heat transfer?
the pill is brass, but with collars on it, so not maximum pill to case heat transfer unless I may be fill the groove with compound. and the thread also?
Any one recommend a buck driver that has NO components on the spring side? 17mm have up to 22 mm depth in the pill.
Like to run 3 series lipo Cant see one on Mountain Electronics, and a brief FastTech search did not reveal any either.
17mm buck driver, 3S input, 4A output, no components on spring side. I think that's something that doesn't exist! The pill is brass so solder something in.
Funnily enough I did solder one in on another pill, but though I’d ask the question , as screwing it/clamping ig with collar is so much easier if things go wrong
OK, then so can you point me towards a 3s buck driver in 17mm J can solder in that gives 4-5 amps
XP-L V6 1A
Hot Dedomed – 107900 lx at 5.82A for 361 kcd
XP-G2 S4 2B
Hot Dedomed – 137000 lx at 3.76A for 458 kcd
XP-G2 S3 1C
Hot Dedomed – 127000 lx at 4.05A for 425 kcd
Can someone help me understand why the hot de-domed XP-G2 is so much brighter than the XP-L… despite drawing less current? Aren’t these two emitters using the same die?
I run one of my three UF-1508’s with MTN Max HP with x3 18650’s at 4 amps.
really can’t remember what LED i used though. but it is one from the list in my earlier post…. sorry…and I never did my beam shots either. but 3 cells is great for a good long run time, and allows the use of cheaper cells …as they are all having less current drain.
I bought x3 1508’s and made a 1 cell, a 2 cell and a 3 cell version.
Sorry I can’t be more help other than to state the obvious that run time is increased
The XHP35 needs 4S, you would need to use 4x 26350’s like I did.
I used a Texas Avenger driver for mine. Zener modded (but I now have an LDO PCB listed that I would use). It is just an FET only driver as I am using it but with the duty turned down to around 75% it works great. RMM sells some drivers that would work as well, it is nothing fancy.
Now I do have a driver I am prototyping that could really work well for things like this but it still has a ways to go before it is ready.
