This thread is very helpfull.
I made my choice.
The beautiful s4 host(fasttech) a BLF A6 A17DD + 7135 (banggood) and a 219c from intl-outdoor.
And a NCR18650B
It will be a great EDC ;
If diode draw too much amps .I will mod a Nangj for this light.
I want 6.2 amps :bigsmile:
Waiting everything arrive.
Thank a lot for this thread.
Somebody know wherre to buy copper pill for this hoste and I can buy a SMO reflector for it?
@PyroLight: make sure that your heatsinking is very good! And at 6.2A I'm sure the led-lifetime of 50000 hours will not be reached ;-)
It’s because of this I’m searching copper pill for the S4 host.
I find one for S2.
But impossible to retreive the site.
Where did you find the S2 pill?
can’t retrieve the site. I was hopping somebody as the link.
Ebay

It’s ended and for triple.
Sorry.
If you want 6.2 amps, I expect the NCR18650B is not the best battery.
I bought the BFL Special Edition A6 flashlight. It, of course, uses the same driver you are getting. In the A6, I am running a Samsung 30Q.
Maybe you can adjust the resistance with the springs and wires to get six amps with a particular cell type. More than six would definitely be bad.
Right!
I neglected to say that I am barely getting 4 amps out my A6s. That's because I do not have the springs bypassed.
Hum thank’s for every answer.
But I want to understand something.
I have my Jax Z1 with sbt 70 and a FET driver.And with a NCR18650B and I got 8.90 amps.
But I know the vf of the sbt70 is 3.3v. The 219c as 3.8volts? If I’m right the fet driver can deliver the maximum amps the diode need?
But I don’t planned to lower the resistance of all springs to limite the current.
4.5 amps with the ncr18650b is possible? Or you got the max amps with a 30q?
If I don’t get blue tint shift I’m okay.
Edit: I don’t want to get the maximum amps in the led. This light will be my EDC light. I’m waiting every parts of the light.
How do you adjuste the resistance? If I let the spring whitout any solder braid. It will limite the current. I think I will get a great 4 amps.
Sorry to say, I am not qualified to help out with your mods. Hopefully, someone will be able to add to what you have posted.
I am concerned, however, that pulling 8.90 amps from a Sanyo/Panasonic NCR18650B exceeds the maximum continuous discharge current specified by the manufacturer for that battery. I have one (evidently older) document from Sanyo that specifies 4.875 amps as the maximum. On web sites like Orbtronic's, I frequently see 6.8 amps (2C).
I believe NCR18650B are Panasonics.
Right. Panasonic purchased Sanyo, including its battery division. I have edited my post above to say Sanyo/Panasonic instead of Sanyo.
A rose by any other name is still a rose. It looks like an 8.90-amp draw is significantly more than this battery is rated for. What say you?
uff…too bad my english.i ask-will be a big difference i output between xpl triple hi and this?:
http://www.kaidomain.com/product/details.S022932
your link goes to a Nichia 219A triple, this comes nowhere near the output of the Nichia 219C . But the XP-L Hi will still have a higher output as a Nichia 219C, but the triple beam will be a little less nice.
Kaidomain offers that triple in two configurations. One wires the emitters in “series” and the other in “parallel”.
Your link points to the “series” configuration. It is highly likely that you would want/need the parallel configuration at the following link.

But don’t take my word for it. Just be sure you get the configuration that is appropriate for your intended driver.
i knw,there is a paralell…i want to know,if there is a big difference between tripple old nichia and triple xlp hi:)
The Nichia site used to mark all 90CRI 219C’s ‘under developement’.
I already heard rumours (from clemence), but now also on the website for the 3500/4000K version that marking has gone, so I guess they officially started producing them.
