Even mine is not really a flashlight, just a beam tester. I need a 17mm boost driver to actually run it in a flashlight since I setup the emitters in 2S2P configuration. But this does at least show the quadtrix configuration gives a very nice beam without any donut hole, even just using a simple P60 OP reflector. I haven’t tried SMO but I suspect there would be a donut. I will be building lots more with E21A once I get some more components.

Does not look like a multiple core LED at all. Thanks for sharing, good to know!

E21 has the same footprint as Cree XQ series.
If you can find a XQ board, you can put a E21 on it without any positioning problems.

I see the custom Armyteks listed on the site now. Does this mean the boards are coming in soon?

The boards will be shipped by this week or next week according to the latest factory update. The Armyteks still needs fine tuning especially for correct optics selection and reliable fastening method.

Great news!

ma_tumba · January 15, 2018, 4:44am

Interesting, thank you!

BTW have you ever seen triple or quad xqe boards?

Try to ask Mitko. I think he use XQE for some of his builds

The VR16S1 and VR16SP4 MCPCBs are the store

Does the VR16SP4 work with the new cree LED’s? I might need to grab one of those so I can test the new Cree LED’s.

clemence · January 17, 2018, 9:07pm

Not a perfect match but should be more than enough due to its excellent thermal properties. I posted the simulated picture of XD16 on VR16SP4 somewhere. With VR16S1 it fits better with full pads coverage

With E21A:

With XD16:

XD16 has bigger pads and wider gaps

(dream) may be 219C sm4070e will be re-stocked… I will buy 3-5 pcs
I have receive and tested 219B sw45k - best universal LED, but for some application of night vision he is slightly “cold”… Wish an 4000-4200 CCT and magenta tint

clemence · January 19, 2018, 12:38pm

I can’t promise, seems it would be harder to get those sm4070e again. Those were only 100 pcs.

ma_tumba · January 19, 2018, 12:44pm

Will be in for some, too.
