BLF style 18650 1s thrower( poor mans Olight M2X)

Thanks Dale. I’ll give removing the spring ago. This light with unknown dedomed XML2 at 2.8 amps is only 13% down on my HD2010 which has an XPL HI running a 5.5 amp buck driver at around 7 meters. Admittedly the led in the HD2010 could be tuned a little better so the difference would be greater than what it is. I’d love to try a dedomed XPG2 but I wont have the time.

Hi Dale, do you have any nanjg driver photos with 12, 7135 stacked? regards!

Probably got a whole lot more...

I’d have that up on the wall as modern art. :slight_smile:

I know even simpler one.

Formula is Distance x Distance x Lux. So on given example it is 5m x 5m x 1000 lux = 25000lux
Of course if you have meters on x10 settings multiply that with 100 before calculation.

And real life usable throw(where you clearly can identify target) would be around 100 meters :slight_smile:

For those that have given me advice on how to solder chips on and I failed miserably, well I can now say thanks. I wont tell you how long it took but the driver works and outputs 3.4 amps. Yes I’m a happy camper. :slight_smile:

I got a meter reading of 190. That is with three pushes of the button so I get a reading on the screen. I have the same meter as you have. Distance is 8.58m. I’ll let you work it out here so I can note it down. Thanks Dale.

That is very good job. :+1:

Edit:
“distance is 8.58m”

8,58x8,58x1900(if you measured on x10) = 139871lux or roughly 140kcd

Cant be simpler than that :wink:

If you can’t remember any of these , just try this tool :

Thanks guys. :slight_smile:

What cd should I expect with Maxtoch 26mm + dedomed xpg2 + fet driver + centering ring tunning?

Around 260-330kcd but it all depends on which xpg2

XP-G2 S4 2B

Can’t wait until I receive all the parts :weary:

Actually my longest thrower is the Nitecore P30 with around 100.000cd

And then it also depends which XP-G2 S4 2B :slight_smile: Really I am not kidding you here. New is super bad and you should avoid and put XM-L2 or XP-L or if you have good old one than you are good to go in breaking candela records :wink:

Is there a way to know if it’s one of the new or the old ones? I bought it from mtn

Probably new, the old ones are sold out everywhere.

You can recognise the old ones by the die.
They have relatively smooth phosphor and the grid of dots are visible.
The new ones have more rough phosphor and you can hardly see the dots.

Hello, could you tell me what variant of xp-g2 is? I can not get better photography, I have one placed in UF1504, with driver BLF A6 runs at 4.7 amps with fresh cells, greetings!

Sorry to place large size so it can be viewed!

I’ll try this night with the xpg2 that I just dedomed, if I don’t like the results I’ll take the XP-L way

Looks like a new one, i can’t see the grid of dots

BY THE WAY:
I got a FAKE XM-L2 in this light. :frowning:

I got 240.000cd with dedomed xpg2, on maxtoch 26mm mcpcb and fet driver. Cell wasn’t fully charged, I’m going to try again in a while
