Very nice as usual, just watch out with the XP-G or XP-E and that driver two cells. With the DX's boost modded as you did, not even as drastic because only added one 220 miliOhm in parallel totalling around 80 ... first XP-G got shorted , the XP-E just was open.

After a lot of curse did what should be did at first, puting a 3.3 Ohm as a load the measure was 3.9 V , 1,2 A ,not much current but obviously the V forward was to much...Cree say 3.75 V max

~40mm, same as the lens. I found that DX sells a glass lens this size, of which I have 10 on order (I have never cared for plastic lens's).

I smell 3A+ xml :).

Hehe...yup. I love the look of copper, and wish it was used more. Unfortunately this copper slug will be hidden in the light. Glad it's not just me who likes it :)

This a mod even I can do ...Tongue out

EDIT: this is a mod I DID do ... A little piece of wire ,a little solder .. piece of cake ..

What's next ..

i'm hunting a piece of copper to fill the hole

I got one of these and it's just as bright on a couple LSD AA's as an MRV on high. Very similar reflector frontal area. Tint is pretty white and high temp.

Really good deal if you want a thrower that runs off low voltage batteries.

11

Yep. One of the big reasons I got these. They'll make excellent gifts to folks who'd rather not mess with li-ion or nimh.

Congrats on the successful mod, Boaz!

Looking good Match! Simple and innovative as usual. Great job with these novel ideas for mods! Frontpage'd and Sticky'd.

13

the trick is always tinning and lots o flux .. and having friends who work on electronics for a living (back up)

This light weighs almost a pound and a quarter 600 grams . 4 times heavier than a

solarforce ,18650 and a drop in > 150 grams ..

I'm always amazed how much D cells weigh.

14

3 for $20 deliveried that is to the guys in the US - not so luck for us Aussies :(

15

Yeah, and now they're sold out. Gosh, I wonder how that happened? That's alright - I'm a patient guy - I can wait.

Hi Match, how is your woot's light part 2 coming along. We are all waiting for some copper porn. Thanks in advance.

17

the apperance is not good

18

I'm wondering if a C8 reflector will fit into this baby.

19

Oh bugger... I have totally missed the deal on these!

Would have been very, very nice to be left in a car as backup...

Part 2 has been done for awhile now, but I've been (and still am) on vacation so it'll have to wait till I get back. I'd be too tedious to post from my cell phone :)

Thanks Match. Have a nice vacation.
