Stock SP03 vs J-19 De-domed XM-L2 dry driver heavy wire resistance mods (beamshots)

I went through the process on there to get a quote for the TR-J20 for shipping which they sell for $63.25 and unfortunately shipping basically kills any deal over any other store.

DHL: the total price is US$63.25+US$33.57=US$96.82
HK Post: the total price of the flashlight is US$63.25+US$37.03=US$100.28

The reason HK is more is because the package comes in at over 1.5kg’s. Although I have to admit, the service, responses and general communications from Shenzhen have been outstanding. Now I just need to justify adding another WOL torch since I already have an x100…

Yeah, shipping is TOO expensive, many lights are cheaper with excellent use like tr-a9-2, its sad (too sad for me, which pays R$2,40 for U$1 :_( )

So, I always have a reason to buy a stronger light: work (this doesn’t convince even me :smiley: :bigsmile: ), walking in the dark, and the reason infallible: prepare for Armageddon, whatever it may be…… Blinding ET’s rocks alot :smiley:

You are assuming a lot: who said Extraterrestrials see in our spectrum of light anyways? :wink:

for some reason I thought this was a cells in one chunky tube……now I looked it up, I’m even more excited to get my hands on it, I love my plunger lights. :bigsmile:

Tube is still pretty chucky because it will take the 32650’s but not soup can sized. I just got another one in yesterday and took it outside stock and this is the sad part stock it’s only as bright as the SP03 is on medium. One of the things I like about this is that it’s not a battery carrier style so no extra resistance from the extra springs and easier to load and unload.

I just finished putting the MT-G2’s in the one I got yesterday. I let the resin I use set up for a day before I wire them up. They fit in the reflector fine but I had to file them a bit to fit on top of the pill. 9amp SST driver from IO will go in parallel with them after that.

I also ordered another J-19 from a different supplier it was a few bucks more but I’m curious to see if they have the same lame driver.

It’s a great host but man that driver makes it the worst buy out there for a big light if it’s left stock.

lets be honest, all these big lights are poorly driven, to us at least, average joe public would be amazed though.

it just makes them more fun for us when we get them.

True but this one doesn’t have the lumens of a Sky Ray King. Can you imagine owning a SRK and then spending twice as much money on one of these and having it be less bright than your SRK? I would have been ticked off if I hadn’t bought it with modding already in mind.

I guess you’re right though a true noob would still be pretty impressed and think they had the best thing ever.

Unles of course, that noob already has an SRK. ; )

I’m wondering if they got their plans mixed up, and put the bad driver in the ‘throwy multi-emitter’ and put a good driver in some cheap 3T6 style old light somewhere…

Someone told me when I posted the picture that it was the same exact driver as the first 3T6 that they put out. It says 4.8a on the top of the driver. I put it in a Small Sun ZY-T08 last night to drive a single de-domed XM-L2 with the battery carrier modded to series so 8volts roughly and it worked nice to drive one emitter and could actually be pushed harder. Probably 4.5 amps to that one emitter, makes for a nice thrower. I have another one that is running 7amps and that is really pushing it hard.

Got the parts for the J-19-3xMT-G2 so it should be done this time tomorrow.

I think the light of led can burn their damn eyes

18sixfifty, can you post some pics of this driver which comes with the light?

It seems like an original driver by trustfire, for sst-50 I think

In the contate plate (battery side), have some TF sign?

It says TF 4.8A and 2011-1216 on the top which is green and gold.

excited to see and hear the outcome of this multi mt g2.

Nice, love to see how they do :slight_smile:

Mrs Gords will knack you if you buy one……

too late……one specific one is already on the way……

It was nice knowing you……

she’s on about blowing 150 quid on blinds……gords is feeling brave
