UltraFire WF502B MC-E Warm White LED

There's a decent $5 2.x amp driver at dx. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.20330

What's weird is that the guy at cpf above also has both these "warm" products, and his mce is MUCH brighter than the kd xp-e... (definitely around 2A), which just re-inforces that you pay your money and get random lights from HK.

Thanks agenthex, but the mensioned driver is 25 cm and will not fit in a P60.

ShiningBeam has one which I consider for the moment. One can count on the

specs found at his site.

How about this driver:

I ordered this drop-in also, because don't need more P60 hosts:

Don't know how it will performing.

Thanks for the suggestions. I just beat you with a day as I have allready ordered the

driver from KD. The specs looks promising..

I dont know the ww mc-e dropin from KD, but I certainly hope its brighter than the one

I got in my WF502B. Please give us an update when you get it.

Little OFF, but this 5-mode drop-in with (fake) solarforce host looks like a good deal also for $20.76:

I have an orig. L2 and L2X host already. L2X is very very nice but more expensive. I want to use the ww MC-E drop-in in it.

I did see that when I considered buying a MC-E, but as I have several (original) Solarforce

allready, I bought the WF502B from DX in stead. It had a clip too, which I needed.

I have a KD order gamble for this. Come on snake eyes.

To continue my original post above, I have today changed the original driver (se picture at brted´s review)

with this:http://www.kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=1845 from KD. It was supposed to be

a 5 mode, but I was lucky as they sent me a wrong one, a 1 mode as the original.

Now the light is very bright and instead of drawing 0,5 amps it now draws 1.2 amps measured at the tail.

There is no pwm sounds to be heard. Its a much better light now.

This looks like the same driver I bought from ebay see

http://budgetlightforum.cz.cc/node/742

It only pulls 1.2amps!!!!

I'm was expecting 2.8amps.

I have also expected more power, but at least I more than doubled the output.

Seems like a lottery, when some talk of 2,8 amps and others get 1,2. The Ebay

vendor guarantee 2,8 amps. Some guarantee

1.2amps??? Not much.

This driver (new on KD) looks very promising:

Description say 1100 mA but with 8*7135 it must be a 2800 mA board.

I ordered a few right now.

Driver + LED + Battery = performance ...

Its not just the driver , it also depends on the LED , and battery ....

A bad LED may perform half as well as a good one . When I moded my A20 to SSC P7 , I ordered a D***i bin LED , but its weak , it only pulls about 1.2A , now in a CR123A light thats ok ..

But I did hope for 2A , which is what my first one did [ A20 SSC P7 mod ] , I have been very disappointed with the last few D-bin SSC P7 emitters Ive gotten , I hate to say it but the C-bins have been better .

Out of some 4 D-bins , only 1 has been good , the rest very disappointing , so for now I have given up on the SSC P7 , expensive rubbish ..

Been waiting on the XM .... Got parts ready to roll ... a XM @ 2A should kill a SSC P7 or MC-E at the same current level .

I got the $20 "solarforce" p60 MCE-warm from KD. http://www.kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=10965

It's very nice. 1.7A draw, donut hole, but everything else is excellent.

The body is a solarfarce, but just as nice quality as the real thing (much better than 504b at DX). Tailstands and flat bezel. 5 modes, WORKING memory. Quite a nice tint.

Highly recommended.

Glad that I ordered one this week.

I didn't know KD was more gambling than DX (though I didn't have any problems with DX so-far).

Today's my first day here BTW. Hi everybody !!

Hi, and welcome to the light! :P

Thanks a lot. I'll try to share everything you guys and girls may find interesting.

Do we have a female member? Sounds a bit odd but not totally unrealistic, who knows...

I find this forum almost exclusively male "sport" oriented althrough nothing wrong if a lady kicks in. It is like searching for a male in wedding dresses forum. :D

I've seen ladies writing on car detailing forums, talking about polishes, waxes, etc. :) This hobby sounded more reasonable as not all flashlights can fit into pockets but purses.

My two year old daughter loves playing with flashlights, BTW. I bought 1W ones for her, 100 lm one for my wife, 1000lm :) ones for myself. So I try to pull them into this, which opens the opportunity to invest x2, x3 more in flashlights using the family budget :)

Aloha and welcome to BLF Kokopelli!

Thanks for the WARM welcome. Oh, we were talking about WARM white MC-E, what a coincidence
