LUV my UT02 , Now hav a bit more power 5 amps and now a E2 3C LED

found it :slight_smile:

I love the UT02 as a host. The (old school) XP-G2 de-domed was one of my favorites!

Pulling over 6amps and throwing over 300kcd it was a laser beam jacket pocket rocket thrower!

But for a Bombastic Boomer I use the XHP70.2 UT02 the most. With the Lexel built T/A Narsil driver, copper driver adapter’s, I then bored the head out for a 32mm Maxtoch board, used a Convoy L6 white switch boot and wired off the driver, with resistors, lighted up the stock e-switch, blue or red, but I liked the red only, for DANGER! :smiley:

The 70.2 P2 1A at 8+ amps is quite impressive out of this smaller light, nice over all beam with a large Hot spot with this smooth reflector. :wink:

Oooo… I like the clear switch boot. Ima havta git me one of them! :slight_smile: Did you get the boot from the convoy store? How is the beam looking?

Ask Simon for them, the L6 tail cap white/clear boot.

I like the P2-1A the best so far, less of a brown/yellow corona, ring, then say the B-C’ I have tried. The beam is white, not cold blue-ish, like the P2-1C as is the ample spill. The beam is naturally big, coming out of a short reflector, but it lights up the neighbor across the street back yard/driveway like daylight so it has decent trow for a small reflector. It would make for a nice patrol light, even say half way up the ramp it is more than enough light, but then double click for Turbo, yeah there’s no where to hide!

I’m looking at getting a couple more of these UT02’s if I can find them for the $28-$30 price I got the last 4 at? I found some interesting other 70.2’s at Mouser I want to try out. They describe them as a white/white 5700k and a white/warm 5700k? They are P2 bin but 0E and 40E?

Where’s the best place to find these resistors? They are 0603 resistors correct?

I’d like to join the question…

Woo Hoo, i just fitted a E2 3C led to my UT02 / 5 tail amps, looks real sweeet now

dave

did u get your from cutters.com.au?

yep on a board , swapped out the led only, thought id practice on the UT02 first before i do the MF02

so they have genuine E2 3C?

few members here have question about them

u bought some, what do u reckon ? they look ok 2 me

got my order yesterday but yet to test them out.

will do lux reading this weekend. Im expecting higher lux reading than stock LED from MF02

is your UT02 NW or CW ? and hav u modded the resistor yet ? how many amps at tail ?
mine was NW and that was considerably cooler than the MF02 in NW . the MF02 seems more like 4000 so it will def get a E2 3C

pls post your before and after figures when youv checked them

cheers Dave

i have UT02 NW and CW

as well as two Astrolux MF 02 throwers :smiley:

will swap them all and check the lux ready this weekend

So not modded then ?
which tint did u prefer in the UT02 ?

Anyone with tips on how to MOD to make UT02 much better thrower along with great spill? The light is thrower but to make it ultra thrower with excellent spill???

Just search UT02 resistor mod on this forum , there’s plenty info on getting it to draw 5amps at tail end she’s a good thrower then , nearly as good as a Klarus G35

Wait for Schoki+Lexel’s boost driver to be released. It’s capable of pulling 19A from the battery. That means you can drive XHP35 to any current you want. Mild 2.3A (8A from fresh battery) or wild 3A (11A from fresh battery) - the limit is what you want.
Do note that it won’t be able to sustain the output due to thermal limitations.
And that it’s going to cost way more than a resistor.

Any news on the boost driver?

My UT02 is kaput, so I have ordered a xp-l Hi v3 and a fet+1 driver.
Can I keep the existing switch? (have ordered a c8 switch just in case).
Was planning to strip existing driver (except spring and outer -ve pole) and wire the fet driver to it.
I have never modded a light before, so can someone please help me with advise and procedure?
Thanking you in advance.
