Depends on how much current you want to drive to at. 30A will be difficult.
thijsco19:Kick!!!
Any plans to mod the GT?
I was looking at the SST 90 led from luminus http://luminus.com/products/SST-90.html.
Double lumens and smaller die als with the XHP70.2 thus more throw.
Only problem would be to find a driver. The led4power drivers might work? (1s4p carrier setup of course)CFT-90 is more efficient than the old SST-90
50% more currentKawiboy confirms that Lumintop SD75 board with XHP70 footprint fits and will be available for modders soon
I made drivers modded for more current and even the stock driver needs only a few parts added or changed to fuel an XHP70 with 70-100W
Got the SD75 XHP70 Boards, easy conversion to 12v, did one this morning.
Cool, where did you get the mcpcbâs?
They still say they plan to make some ready made 12V mcpcbâs once they get caught up on the GB but nice to have an option before that.

I got them from Lumintop T/A.

Personally , i would try to use a fet driver and limit the current though the led wires first .
Cheap solution , but it could work to at least get the emitter at a safe operating current .
Be very careful when trying to open it up, damaged the HALIII ?? anodizing while breaking two straps, the strapping was the only thing that touched the light, the bad news is it is still stuck, they hired King Kong to put this one together :rage:
Pass the 10lb hammer will you :weary:
Cheers David
Yeah, they can be pretty tough to get open - I struggled with another one this evening, fortunately it came out un-scathed!
My replacement light meter arrived a few days ago (Dr. Meter LX1330B), so I took a couple of quick readings after an emitter swap to a 5700k XHP35 HI D4 bin.
Taken from 20 meters, the new meter reads more in-line with what I expected; 2198 meters throw, as opposed to the old meter, which was reading low, @ 1841 meters.
oh thatâs a bummer pommie
mine is still stuck and trying to find a way to open without damaging
Are there any plans for a longer battery tube?
cccpull:Are there any plans for a longer battery tube?
No, not at this time. People that donât have the light already complain about this tube being too long.
And a longer tube would be excessive I have to agree, adding even more weight to the light.
Where did those guys who ordered massive aspheric lenses from optiform go!?
Still waiting for the hostâŠ

I have actually carried the light on trails on a sling, but noticed it would have been more comfortable if it was longer, so as to rest it on the shoulder while aiming the light.
I guess I can always make an extension just for support. Thanks.

That is a point and something to consider down the road but there are a lot of things that need to happen before that.
Anyone think about changing the color of the switch LEDs? I think one of mine isnât working properly and would like to fix it but while iâm in there maybe I could change the color?

Changing the switch LEDâs is fairly simple, They are either 0805 or 0603 SMD LEDâs and you can use any color you want.
Iâm sure it must have been answered somewhere but i canât find it, is the button cap retaining ring pressed in or threaded ?
Thanks

Threaded.
Thanks TA, thatâs good news.
I have opened my flashlight by 2 people (my son and I) using non-skid rubber gloves.
With the stock Led obtained 925.000Cd. I have replaced it with a boiling thinner dedomed XHP35 HD and now I achieve 1.186.000Cd.
The Led I used was removed from a Haikelite MT02.
The measurements are at 10 meters. At 15 meters I get 1.118.000Cd

Nice! :+1:
Will you do any engraving or modification to the anodization?
