I reflowed all boards but 4 17mm TA Bistro as I am still waiting for 6 17mm boards from Oshpark
6 envelopes are ready to be shipped but its to late for today
My driver arrived today, very nice looking driver.
Thanks
Im having trouble decoding these spreadsheets :).
So was my driver shipped last time you posted 12 days ago, or is it due this shipment?
Got mine as well but unistalled, maybe tonight
NarsilM drivers were shipped later on 6. June
Excellent, should be here soon then. Cant wait 
Thanks Lexel. Received my 3 drivers today. Impressive. You must have good eyesight to do this!
I’m going to need a magnifying headset of some sort before working with these. Cheers.
My drivers were delivered today. Odd how it took twice as long to travel from New York to Ohio as it took to travel from Germany and clear customs.
Tomorrow should be fun. Reflow the xhp70 to the 32mm star, reflow the star to the heat spreader/shim, reflow the brass ring to the driver, and assemble the Chimera. Forward clicky already installed as is the modified button cover. New photos in the Chimera thread tomorrow.
I’m really looking forward to seeing the results of the xhp50.2 and 22mm TA driver in the Convoy L5. I’m reasonably certain I’ll be pleased with the 3a tint and slightly larger hotspot (compared to the xml2 u2 3c it replaces). I prefer a 3d tint over 3c so the 3a should be just a bit cooler than a 3d.
Thanks again, Lexel!
edit: the Convoy L5 was my first ‘good’ flashlight (torch) and though it is no longer produced I know it has unrealized potential. With the TA driver it can be used with 2s 26350 in one battery tube or 2s 26650 with both tubes. The reflector finish produces a really nice beam without rings (xml2) and I feel it is a forgotten gem worth updating. I’ll admit I’m not overly fond of the large stainless bezel but with a few layers of foil to improve heat transfer from the pill it is very effective in shedding heat. If you have a Convoy L5 post your opinions or mods in the upcoming thread.
thanks lexel for the drivers, they works great.
my S70 draws 9.5A TC 4.06V keeppower
my L6 draws 8.3A TC 4.13V keeppower

19. June
Mine are already in the post office system in my state and are on their way to my local post office
Dang, really sad I missed out on this. New here and just learning about the TA + Narsil. Looks like exactly what I need for an upcoming mod. I look forward to batch number 4, if you choose to do another!
Think he started a 4th run?
Anyway its just what a big light like the L6 needs.
both L6 and S70 maxed out the dmm limit of 10A at TC with fresh LiitoKala
Measuring with a dmm isn’t going to give you the best accuracy. A clamp meter would be better. The L6 with Liitokalas should be about 12 amps.
Mine were waiting for me at the post office when I picked upthis morning! Thanks Lexel
Got mine last week and forgot to post. They look good. Will be using the 30mm tomorrow when I rebuild my L6 using XHP70.2. Hopefully the current draw is reasonable. My KP 26650s all seem to have fairly high IR numbers, so I think it will be fine.
You’ll be fine with any 2S set-up, using 26650’s, I run the 70.2 P21A using the Sanyo IJoy and Efest 20700’s 19-20+ amps, in a Jax X6 Hunter, it’s the Lumintop SD75 70.2 P2 1A 2S2P on Sony VTC5A’s at over 23-24+ amps is when the 70.2 turns BLUE in Turbo…. till the batteries wear down a bit…
I’ve done that to two 50.2s now. Not sure about the 70.2 as the P2 1A I have used I have been nice to. The M2 30G 80+ CRI is going to go in the L6.
On the 50.2 it seems like a few times going blue is about all it can handle before it starts going blue using lower currents. Then half the emitter goes out.
