Trustfire AK-90 (12)XML-U2 Hyperboost driver @ 2000ma

I have the HS1010A from… oh, I forget where now. Fasttech have the one-piece model (HS1010), but I prefer the two-piece as it is better for use on my integrating box.
For well under $20, this is one of my most used flashlight modding tools. Right up there with soldering iron and multimeter :wink:

I just ordered this one. It had the best ratings for the price.

Here is a TK-70 with 3 XML-U2 LEDs. I reflowed the LEDs. No other mods but copper briads on the springs.

Very cool. Thank you :wink:

HD2010 XML-U2 dedomed direct drive.

Defiant dedome direct drive.

Awesome work!!! Thanks again…

You've got some serious lights there!!

That's the one I got, and rdrfronty/manxbuggy1. Works excellent!

Wow!! This build is Awesome!!! This is what I'd like to do to a J18, but I was concerned about the cost of 7 emitters - you got 12! I was thinking I could hit 6,000 lumens with XM-L2 U2's. Actually IOS has great prices in qty for the U2 1A or U2 1C's already mounted on Noctigons. I haven't seen Richie086 around much lately, but I believe he has a few custom high end lumen lights - betta he would appreciate this build.

After taking all these beamshots last night, they are starting to look all the same to me! :smiley:

I know this isnt a laser forum but here is one of the 3.4W lasers I have too.

I screwed up a couple during the build so 14 was what I bought! Hahahaha! :smiley: I grounded 2 out installing the reflector. :open_mouth:

Ken, You don’t live far from Montgomery at all. If you are ever up in our area on a Friday or Saturday and are curious about the output of these beasts just stop buy and we will put them on the light box and test the lumens. We also have a 15meter spot marked out in the house where we can test the throw. Besides I would love to see these bad boys in person. Awesome lights!

Thanks for the invite! Its good to know someone close that shares the same interests.

Ken

i absolutely love this build. i love both flooders and high lumen lights most, and you got both in one package!
can i ask how much it cost you total? and what does trimming the white spacer do?

yes , i wonder where richie is, he has to see this, i know he would dig this mod.
he was the guy that built my 6000 lumen 90 watt ak47 9xml.

very nice mod

how many mm of aluminium have this flashlight under the leds?

2 x 26650 can fiscally fit? 3x 26650 are too long for me

I do have about +/- 250.00 in it. That not counting the batteries though.

Triming the white rings allows more light to hit the reflector insted of it shining on the edge of the white spacer rings. I got the idea from Relic.

My light meter will be here today. I have a bone stock AK-90 too. I will compare the two and see exactly what I achieved modding this light.

Ken

If I were to guess I would say about 3-4mm thick without taking the light back apart. I will probably have it apart this weekend and I can measure it then to know the exact thickness. :slight_smile:

My light came with an extension tube so I can use (4) 26650 batteries.

Ken

ty and congratulations for this nice mod

Awesome stuff, Ken! Great job on those lights.

I gotta say that laser of yours is amazing as well! 3.4W!? A couple years back I was looking into building one with a bluray laser and 150-200mW was the thing at the time. How much does it cost to build a bad boy like the one in your pic? Where are you sourcing the laser diodes and drivers?

Thank you Johnny!

The laser parts I get are bought all over, mostly China if that doesnt surprise you! Lol. Its like flashlights though, they say 1000 lumen, but your really get a 400 lumen light. Lol.

The 3.4W laser I gor from a guy in Tennessee. He personally measures each diode/driver assembly and writes it on the heatsink before he ships it out.

I have a 100mw 520nm green nonpump laser, a 635nm 800mw red laser, and I have two of the 3w+ 445nm lasers. Various others also. Those are my most powerful. Bought all from different places though.
