Trustfire AK-90 (12)XML-U2 Hyperboost driver @ 2000ma

Tower is about 180 yards away

You know, I had made a joke about the X6 and AK-90 regarding landing aircraft…but it’s not a joke anymore. 8)

Yes, I alway double check for aircraft before I shine these high powered lights in the air! No chances taken.

I’m being sarcastic, that’s pretty cool. :wink: Is that 2A per emitter?

Im “kinda” being sarcastic too. :smiley: Yes 2A per die. George at Taskled is a great guy! Im waiting for my extention tube from Fasttech to get here so I can run 5 cells. Then I will turn the Pot up to 2500ma. J)

Here is where I trimmed the white plastic spacers around the emitters. It seamed to really make a noticeable difference. The top right white spacer has not been trimmed yet.

That. Is. Awesome. You know the emitters/SinkPADs cost more than the light, right? :smiley:
Do you have a way to measure the output/throw? I bet that thing gets hot fast at 2A/emitter.
I have mine at 1.2A/emitter with the stock T6 emitters and it hits 5200 lumens with 50kcd throw. You are probably in the 8000-9000 range with 80kcd+

Yes, Relic! You are the person that motivated me to mod my light at first. I got the idea of trimming the white spacers from you too. I posted a lot on your review thread of this light. Vesture of blood was kind enough to help me along too. Yes, I know the emitters cost more than the light it self. Its definitely not a “budget light”! :smiley:

It gets a little warm but I don’t leave it on for more than a few minutes.

I been looking around for a light meter, any suggestions?

Ken

You have built some cool lights keep the pics coming :wink:

Will do! Thanks!

Ken

Nice mod. Funny how you can turn a budget light into a orsm light with lots of time and money. We all must be mad.

I have the HS1010A from… oh, I forget where now. Fasttech have the one-piece model (HS1010), but I prefer the two-piece as it is better for use on my integrating box.
For well under $20, this is one of my most used flashlight modding tools. Right up there with soldering iron and multimeter :wink:

I just ordered this one. It had the best ratings for the price.

Here is a TK-70 with 3 XML-U2 LEDs. I reflowed the LEDs. No other mods but copper briads on the springs.

Very cool. Thank you :wink:
