SOLD SOLD SOLD: New Shadow SL3 3x XML2-U2 with 7135s added (driver set to 6.5amps!)

SOLD

Hi BLF I thought I would use this light more. Truth is its been sitting on my shelf since it was modded by vinhnguyen from CPF for about a month.

Its a shadow SL3 XML 2 version (cool white u2) - bought new from fasttech for $55. The 7135 driver has been upgraded by adding additional chips to increase the current to 6.5 amps. Each led will get around 2.1 amps. I initially wanted each led to get around 3 amps, but this was not possible on a single 26650 imr with the higher vf of the xml2 and voltage drop/circuit resistance.

All the modes/UI are still intact - HOWEVER - when a battery is inserted and the tube is screwed down the light always comes on in a “moonlight mode”. In other words unless the light is locked out - it is always in moonlight mode until the switch is pressed for 1 sec, turning the light on and accessing the modes as normal. This was never an issue with me, as I always leave my lights with electronic switches locked out to prevent parasitic drain, and honestly, the addition of a moonlight option is always nice.

I paid a lot for this light, $55 for the light and $40 for the mod (because I suck a soldering and cant stack 7135 chips).

I am offering this light shipped CONUS for $60 without the box. Or $65 if you want the box. My paypal is jmpaul320 at gmail.com. First one to post “I’ll take it” in this thread followed by a prompt paypal payment gets it.

I will add some pics tonight.

Any questions or international buyers please pm me.

Thanks!

ill take it paypal sent
thanks!

always wanted this light, but couldnt justify paying $60 for it. because i didnt think it was bright enough to meet my $60 standards.
but as far as the looks and size goes, one of my all time favorite lights.
thanks for making this happen….i knew i would get this light one day.

so with the mod, wat kinda lumens are you getting now?

thanks! got the payment - will ship out tomorrow and send you a tracking number :slight_smile:

Excellent purchase, blueb8llz! Excellent question, too! :)

I have this light and have been thinking about stacking chips on it. How many chips were added and how many lumen does it put out now?? I don't want to double every 7135 in it, just enough to do what you had done to yours.

each led is getting around 2-2.15 amps. according to the data sheet thats 728+ lumens per emitter at 85ºC - i would guestimate around 2400 led lumen at turn on and around 2000 OTF. By eye its about even with a well driven king but has more throw. sorry i wish i could give a definite number! it looks like i should build a sphere

I would have to ask vinh how many chips he added.

I believe the stock driver was 4.5a and its now set to ~6.5a

if each chip is 350ma then i would say he added 6 chips

thats awesome, bright as a king but with more throw. the king was floodier though right?
do you know the runtime on high? i think i read only 20 mins somewhere

on high it will pull 6.5 amps from a fresh mnke 26650 imr

the battery capacity is 4000mah which will last around 4ah/6.5a = 0.62 hrs or 37 minutes (before circuit losses) figure about 30 minutes +/-
