There are some HD2010s that come with the original EAST-092 driver, which was the “good” DD driver.

Nowadays, if you get an HD2010, you sometimes get one with one of the “good” EAST-092 drivers, and sometimes not. I had to try several times, from Tmart, before I got one with a “good” EAST-092 driver.

I don’t know if anywhere sells HD2010s with guaranteed “good” EAST-092 drivers.

Fasttech has an EAST-092 driver on their website:

That driver has gone in and out of stock, now “Discontinued”, because FT hasn’t been able to source the “good” driver.

Can’t believe I missed this! Are you, by any chance, going to make any more? Being as how they sold out in the first few minutes. lol 14 posts and they’re gone. Wow! :frowning:

Pllllleeeeeeeaaaaaasssssseeeeeee! :slight_smile:

I’ll never work on a light again, I’ll hover over BLF with PayPal open and ready, forevermore… oh, wait, I kinda already do that! My bad, carry on.

28

Hope you make some P60 copper pills soon > <”
I’ll continue to check BLF and CPF for them daily.
(I’m in for 3 units.)

29

BUILD MORE PLZ. Missed it.

30

I should know better. Things like this happen whenever I fall asleep.

Dibs on one if you make another batch. :smiley:

31

Dang Mr. Smith that was fast!

32

If you decide to do second run, ill take 2. Sold out way too fast.

33

…they will come!”

34

If another run is made of these, I’m in for one.

35

I'll buy more if there's another run.

36

I would love to get one if you build more also this thing is dying for an MT-G2 upgrade.

37

Well as I was the first loser in this mad scramble, I will be in for one if you decide to make another run.

Either way, thanks to VOB for making this available to us. I am looking forward to see some nice mouseover pics with before and after on these soon to be hot rodded HD2010’s.

Cheers,

Here's my vob C8/UF-T20 copper pill pics:

I did not see any measurable improvement in lumens or throw from the upgrade, over a brass C8 pill with copper inserts, but the host seemed to heat up quicker, so appears to pull the heat away from the LED quicker. This was at 3.85A - maybe there is noticable improvement at higher amps.

39

what are you using to secure the star to the pill?

40

On that pill, all I used was AS5 - nothing was used to lock it into place. If I was to do this today, I'd look into drill+tap the pill, secure with screws - it's a bit of work to center and insure clearance for the screw heads, but I like the idea the star can't inadvertently twist and cut wires, and of course has a better thermal bond connection. I try to eliminate sharp edges around those wire holes by filing/sanding just in case.

41

Thanks for offering these.

Do these take a 16 or 20mm star? (Sorry if it's posted and I'm just not seeing it.)

42

Thanks for running these, wow what a quick sale. I’m looking forward to pushing one these with a direct drive. It looks like you could get rid of about 20-30 more just about as quick.

43

Is there any benefit to soldering the sinkpad to the pill over using Arctic Silver?

44

Of course there is. Its a better thermal transfer. Better by how much in real life.. cant say, not that much. But if you can do it easily, just go ahead.

45

I’d take one (some?) if an additional run was planned…
