Love of an Ole Broken Butt man/boy of age.

That is scary hot…

I used it at work today…Over all I’m still impressed… It may replace my Quark…

Longest duration I used it was on medium for 10 min and it does get warm. Its what I expect for the size… On high you can feel its warmth at the head after 5 seconds. I noticed it often today……my Xeno warms up similarly.

I would not use this as a bike light, but for my specific day to day work use it was really nice. I honestly enjoyed it and experienced a bit of that ‘wow’ factor.

The last test now is time ……will it last??

Can someone tell me the exact diameter of the lens? I'd like to know if the bezel is wide enough to accept a 20mm TIR.

It fits. 20mm TIR lens that is with room to spare. I don't have anything to measure right now but I'd say its the same size as the stock reflector. The inside lip of the bezel helps center the TIR lens with the stock glass lens removed.

How does the memory work? Will a solarforce clip fit it?

Anyone? Is there anyway to get one without memory?

Memory on these drivers should settle about 2 sec after you chose the desired mode. No memory.. yeah, if you build it yourself (empty host from CNQG, any emitter and a KD V2 driver).

Where’s the cheapest I could get an xp g2?

Received yesterday the new EDC with XP-G2 emitter.

Was very curious to see this new emitter and have to admit it's impressive for its size.

At 1,4A is not nearly driven to its full capability, but nonetheless the output is great and the colour is a very natural pure white, I like it!

In this very small application, with a small reflector, it gives a very wide hotspot, definitely biased to flood for short distance usage.

Now I want to see XP-G2 on larger reflectored flashlight, tuned for throw!!

Can anyone recommend a holster for this light?

I’ve looked quite a bit, but none seem to be a close fit.

Mine turned up yesterday. Very nice, and very impressed with the kit packaging, going to try and get it built up tonight. 8)

I'm using this: http://www.manafont.com/product_info.php/terminator-yrg-industries-nylon-holster-for-flashlight-p-7113

It does ok, little tight as the reviewers say because the material is so strong, but the light fits fine.

Any BLF discount on this light?

I can't tell from the photo. Is there Fujik or some other thermal compound between the star and the pill?

Yes there is thermal paste under the star.

I just switched the driver to a KD v2, 3.05A driver. Low - Med - High with memory. I'm using the 2.5A driver that came with it to power another light. It was very easy and quick 10min job. I'm not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me but it looks considerably brighter. Might be that it was dark outside...

Thanks again BIGWOOD!

It will fit but light won't work with it, tailcap doesn't make contact with clip

You can modify tailcap little bit to make it work. Adding spacer to where body's end should make contact.

EDIT:Piece of paper clip did the job... not nicest fix but works.

And picture with SolarForce clip.

Hi guys,

Anyone knows what’s the estimated OTF lumens for Low mode (5%) for this light with the 1.4A driver board on a XP-G2 R5 LED?

TIA!

It should draw around 70 ma and be around 30 lumens.
