You sure must have. Thank you by the way. It was kind of you to do that :-)
I think you guys are right… that’s probably a normal clicky switch, which is reasonable since listed current rating is only 1.8A.
Unmodded, this will be a spectacularly underperforming light for the price. But of course - it’s the modding potential that hooks. Wonder who’ll cave in first.
You can probably count on it being the normal 5 mode driver with pseudo-direct drive on high, somewhere around 2.5A
4.5a xp-g2 on sinkpad, awesome thrower. 8)
Good for folks that need the extra run time, I guess...
dedomed of course!
with 4x 3400s you would get around 3 hours on high!
If it was an electronic side switch, I’d buy it in an instant. I bet you could put the battery tube from a SRK on it and have a 4P twistie 
It’s just a few cuts, wires, and solder blobs away from a 2S2P battery config. 
I’m on the edge with this.
Two options for me:
- XM-L2 (possibly dedomed) on copper at 5A+ (no battery tube mod for this)
- MT-G2 at 5A+ with battery tube mod
If it was an 80mm head, I would have ordered already. I like this format, although this one is a bit on the long side.
Group buy. $30.00?
Id be in this! Make it happen.
Since Sanyo ZT’s and FM’s stay above 3.5V during most of their discharge cycle, I wonder how well they would drive a +5A 7135 based driver with MTG2? Only 1.25A per cell…
MT-G2 is a 6V emitter, so that’s a no-go on 4P1S cell config. It may work on a 2P2S config though. The 105C has been shown to ‘tolerate’ a 2S configuration for a while anyway.
Yes, but what driver provides 6-8V at the emitter while being driven? I randomly tested a few 2 x 18650 lights and they provide 3.1 - 4VDC at the emitter while powered on. I assumed that all your MTG2 mods were being driven around the same voltages.
It has been shown that at least two different buck drivers that normally drive 3.3V emitter(s) handle the MT-G2 no problem. One is in my UF-T90. The other is a 3T6 driver, not sure exactly which one though. There’s a post on here about it somewhere in one of the MT-G2 mod threads.
Another one is the (slightly pricey) driver I used in the ZY-T08 mod.
Thanks relic. Has anyone tested the drive voltages at the emitter (MTG2) while under load with those drivers? I browsed for the answer a while back and couldnt find one, only the assumption of higher voltages. I should have posed the question at the time. Sorry if I missed that before.
Is also possibile to insert a battery 26650 or 32650? Clearly adding in the bottom a cruise to the negative
I measured right around 6V at 4A or so, when on a power supply. I think at 5A it was 6.2V. I didn’t take an exact measurement though.
Since my 4x18650 light like this draws 15A+, I’m not going to bother to try the 26650 thing. I will say that it fits but you need something in the tail end to get the negative end to contact the spring(s).
yes…
Someone need to make it happen!
I would buy one… Dont even need emitter in mine. I would buy it as a host too, only with empty contact board… And preferably in grey or black…
i got 6.25V at a lower current (3.5A? can’t remember…its in the SVD7 thread) but I imagine you have better test equipment. either way, i think its safe to say it doesn’t go up much more than .25V
drivers to add to that list are the driver match used in a mini-maglite w/ mtg2 and the 9A (for sst-90…less w/ mtg2) driver I used in the SVD7. I also tried one or two others. I think its safe to say that most buck drivers will work, but eventually I hope to test some of these at the end of cell discharge to see which ones need less ceiling voltage (if that’s the proper term… :Sp )
