Triple XP-L Convoy S2 MTN Edition BLF17DD Review

question-i will do my own tripple xpl.will be a big difference,if i will use IMR or Unprotected 18650? in the output of lumens…or is it the same? i use original branded ones…

Do not use unbranded batteries ever.

If you want max lumens, unprotected is a must.

And a high drain battery is preferred, such as the 18650GA or a 30Q

comfy, you say “And it definitely won’t help between the other parts of the threads that aren’t physically touching.”
but David say it will help,
then you say “Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying.”
got me confuesd :-/

i mean, how can air be any better then thermal past? even if it is more then 1-3 microns.
i do how ever agree that you need to know how to apllay it.

if anyone is interested,there are triple flashlites in very”good” prices:)))))))))))))))))))

i have a question-difference between 3 xpl and 3 nichia newset will be? 3000 lumens vs.2500?

Indeed. Triple “custom” P60 for $99.99 as well (I obviously did not build that driver!)

You can get a bit more than 3000 from the XP-L HI, while the 219C can almost reach 3000 OTF with a single 18650 due to the low vF, but it quickly settles down to 2500 or less.

well.my first build triple xpl with BLF A6 body is not happy idea…probably i need spacer for space between star with leds and the dropin…too much space there…
but the outpur is beatiful:)
do i need really a spacer for convoy s2 BLUE?

yes you need spacer for all convoys version or at least copper washers do the trick.

hm…which one would fit into blf a6?
my first modding is painfull:)))

How long is the stock reflector?

11 mm…

Then you would want the S2+ spacer.

question-how will fet driver blf working with the triple xpl?the same function? cos as i know,there is turbo timer.30 seconds or so.how will it work in this upgrade?
also-do we need longer wires,when we will use the spacer?
also-do we need cut the base of the carclo optic? cos they looks little bit longer,then we need…iam not yet sure…

for the convoy hosts you need longer wires,the optic dont need to be cut.the fet driver will work as before but expect on high to get near 10amps if you have good battery.

you mean this one?

Yes, that one. The wires included with any of my triples or FET drivers are long enough to use with an S2+ spacer without adding anything.

This is awesome. Can someone please tell me…someone that has never done this before…if there is a noob step by step guide to making a light like this, or similar to this. Would like to try this but have no idea. Thanks in advance.

question-do you give on optik also o ring?

No I didn’t.
