Looks cool.

What size driver is needed?

Good question. It will fit drivers up to 23mm wide and about 15mm tall.

So when you say a driver plate is includes does that mean it has a large cavity and you connect your driver to the driver plate? Just trying to understand it. :)

I will say this, that brass pill with all those fine threads must be great for heat dissipation.

It’s a round PCB board with gold contacts where you can solder the spring onto, then the driver can go underneath it. You don’t need to use it, but its an option. A lot of production lights have the driver, and then have another board under the driver where the spring is attached too. Hope that makes sense.

Hi folks,

Jason is talking about what’s in this photo below.

Thanks. The green board with the spring on it is included. I’m not sure what the other white looking plastic thing around the board is. That is not included.

Also the light in the picture is of the single cell torchlite which is not available.

I understand what you are talking about but what is in that picture is not it. That is a tailcap switch. The white thing holds it in space and the little wire you see going down the side is where the switch is attached to the board.

I guess you are right, but the green PCB board and spring in that picture though look just like the one that is included for use in the heatsink / driver.

The switches that came with these lights look different than the one in that picture.

Here a large picture is with things labeled. If you want I'll take a picture of one of my switches.

What I was saying is the board and spring (which you pointed out is actually part of the switch assembly) is very similar to the board and spring that is included for the driver contact board.

I snapped a picture of the board and spring that are included.

Hopefully that clears up the confusion.

Hard to tell but it looks like the smaller head. If you have the larger head (I believe called the “shooter” or as an option), let me know and I’d be in for one.

Would love to have one with more throw and a long runtime.

Any driver you would recommend that could handle 8.4V and run at 2.8 amps?

Hi, I have a shooter on hand (a sample) and the head size is exactly the same. The ones I’m selling here just have a longer body tube to accommodate 2x26650’s.

If you are interested in the smaller shooter I can sell you the sample I have, its in good overall shape but has one tiny nick in the front bezel. I’d sell it for $35 shipped (USA only).

As for drivers, I have not used this, but something like this: http://dx.com/p/6-18v-3000ma-3-mode-circuit-board-for-xm-lt60-emitters-57779

Here is another one: http://dx.com/p/3v-12v-2500ma-5-mode-led-driver-board-162784

I would go with this driver myself as you can hide the blinkies, its also current controlled on all modes (no pwm) I’m just going to have a look how much this host is because I like the look of it a lot.

Yep, looks like that will work well too.

Hi Jason, just made my purchase from your website. Thanks for offering this nice DIU lighting kit.

Just received my TorchLite 2x26650 today. Aside from having to purchase an LED and driver for it, I’d say this light is easily worth much more than what we’ve paid here.

The anodizing is flawless with anodized tail threads too, but does need some lube. I can already tell this light will have great heat dissipation with all the contact area the way the pill screws directly into the handhold. The handhold then screws into the head which has a great deal of very fine threads. It actually takes a bit of time just to unscrew it from the head.

The reflector is very deep also, much more than my Small Sun ZY-T16. It’s about 51mm deep and about 46mm at the widest point. Should make a heck of a nice thrower with a high end Nanjg driver.

Thanks Jason!

my trigger finger’s REAL itchy

could you show a pic of the bottom of the reflector, and maybe how it fits in the head?

i’m thinking mt-g2 for this puppy J)

Hi DT,

Here you go. The actual reflector simply drops into the head, then the bezel is screwed on. The Torchlite is also about 30 grams heavier than the Small Sun ZY-T16.
