[Sale] Buck drivers 20, 21, 22, 24, 30mm L6, MF01, MF02/04(S), TN40S/42, BLF GT, Acebeam X45/65

There are similar switches that have a ledge in the front that goes well below the solder pads - meant to transfer push force to the PCB side.
I wonder why I haven’t seen this stuff in a flashlight yet…

Hi Lexel,

If it is always possible, i need a buck driver for an 6 volts XHP70.2 with an input of 2× 26650 5.5A cells (8.4v), i hope for max 8A, the diameter max is 32mm is for a Maglite.

Let me know

Thank

Lexel,

Is this mf02s driver available as it is listed in the OP? I just got mf02s and shaved the dome and love the light, but hate the UI. I love Narsil though. I haven’t done any mods yet except de dome, but this sounds potential for me. Based on what you said above, beside the mod to the carrier, is there any other suggestions you have for installing this?

Also. Could you give me total price for shipment to USA?

With or without e-switch? Hopefully Level can hook you up, but if not you might check out the FX-30 in Convoy’s store. It’s a 30mm 6-8.4 volt buck driver good for 5 amps.

Thanks for the alternative proposal, but I know these drivers and need more current, and I’m wondering if 2S liion is enough for 8A, I think 3S liion is needed.
Sorry for my lack of knowledge in electronics.

This sales thread is ended ?

Where to find a high current driver that I can modify with adding a heatsink with only 3 or 4 modes (moon/very low, low, medium, very very high) useful for everyday and at a good price ?

~50+ Watts useful for every day in a maglite?

With 2S you can direct drive an XHP70.2 (even above 8A) with a cheap driver but it wont be efficient and it wont be suitable in a maglite body.

A driver like you are asking from Lexel he can surely make but it would probably be 20 Euro or more and you are still left having to use inferior maglite body for luxury driver.

only 3 or 4 modes are useful for everyday (for me), maglites have a very robust, simple, slippery and well-crafted body, with cells wedged and protected from shocks it is a tool for my night work.

Then the pleasure of doing it yourself, with good parts made by flashaolic, it is why “direct drive” with “a cheap driver but it wont be efficient and it wont be suitable in a maglite body” this mod is not for me.

How to contact Lexel, i sent him a pm 2 days ago but i had no response ?

It looks like he’s been off of BLF for 8 days or so. He’ll be back around sooner or later. Eventually we all need a little break (that and a chance to focus on life matters from time to time).

Ok merci

For the money and time to modify a Maglite, have you looked at a Sofirn SP70? I use it nightly at my work. About $55. Has smooth ramping that I like and the potential to get very bright. If you switch to discreet brightness levels, I believe I got the spacing just right.

Someone posted that Lexel might be having some health issues. Maybe in hospital. So lets wish him well and expect he may not log on for a while.

Best wishes Lexel, get well soon !

Diy pleasure vs capitalism=destruction of our planet for money

I have all the necessary parts and many other since a long time and it is an upgrade from an XML on a big H22A heatsink, i ’ve the emitter and i just need a good driver, my maglite can fall 100 times and more without consequence like no other, don’t hang on to the clothes.

That said I have a dozen other flashlights and I don’t like these big ones, I really like this mythical torch of my 20 years which did not illuminate anything and which weighed 1 ton with its large D bat, that’s why thanks to the CPF I was able to revive this myth of disappointment and frustration … c’est une putain de revanche !

A thought for Lexel

Cool. I’m a long time user of the 2 D cell Maglight also. First with NiCd cells and 2v bulb. Practical, even though bulbs need replacement every few months. Then came NiMH. More time between charges. Then came the Maglight led bulb. Oh wow, much longer run time! Life was sweet. Then I said, let me try that new Convoy L6 with Liion. I never go back to Maglight. Lol. Do all kinds of mods to it. Then help Sofirn make a factory version of modded L6 for cheap that anyone can buy. I’m pretty happy. :smiley:

Hi for the 20mm Buck Driver, (2S for 6v LED) can they be used for a tail clicky? (I see the drivers use Anduril, why I asked)

EDIT:

OK I went back through a bit and found this (answer to my question!)

To Lexel: best wishes hope you’re doing well!

Hello, i see that you have only 24 and 30 mm. I would like a 26mm is possible, other way i would ask a 24mm. I want to power 5x 26650 lithium in series and 4x sst40 led, for 5-6amp i think it is safe in proper mod.Can your driver do that? Is it constant regulated? Does it have any low mode? Thank you! If all ok send me total to pay you, thanks!

Lexel has been absent for more than 1 year. I would wait on his reply (soon).

I hope Lexel is OK :beer:

I don’t believe Lexel will be back.

Thats really sad…hope at least he is fine!any ideas where can i find what i want ? Thank you!

I only know of one place that makes buck drivers special order. Try here.

There are a couple of individuals in the forum, but I’m not sure what they can make.

Try contacting Quadruple.

Or loneoceans.
