I don’t know of available drivers that will supply the optimum current to the XHP-35 as far as Banggood or even on Aliexpress. The drivers I have used are from members of this forum. One in the US and one overseas. LED4Power’s drivers can be configured to use 4 cells to power the 35, these require extension tubes on the L2 to allow the use of 4 26650’s or a normal 2 cell tube set-up can make use of 26350’s with shorter run times. The US made Boost driver can use one or two cells to power the 35 to 2.3A or so, these are the more expensive but more compact option. This latter comes from Richard at MTNElectronics.
Is there an L2 extension tube available separately? I’ve seen pictures of an L2 that comes with one that looks like it’d screw into the L2/L6:
Asking because I just got an L6 and it’s great, but surprisingly it’s smaller than I’d hoped for. Would love to be able to add an extension tube or two and swap the driver for a 3S or 4S one to have a proper maglite form-factor replacement with modern internals!
Hello Simon!! apart from keeping our pockets empty LOL, is there an interest from your behalf of making a helmet light for mtb or mounted on the front of a bike, thanks!!
Hi Simon,
I saw l21a on xhp35hi already available ! This is running on single 18650/26650 cell, how about luminosity and distance of the flashlight ? I’m right now ordering it
