I have 2 of them. I will hopefully post the Safety Orange one in a couple of days after I figure out why the driver is single mode only.
This is a custom Cerakoted HD-2010. This light was Cerakoted in Graphite Black and Titanium Blue. The Titanium Blue is a metallic Cerakote that kinda changes colors depending on the light. In some light it looks stainless, in others it is more blue or charcoal color. It really is an awesome color. The pictures don’t do it justice. This HD-2010 was converted for 6v. It has a MT-G2 Q0 5000K LED on a 16mm Noctigon. It has a 5 mode FET DD driver. 5 modes, no turbo timer. Glass was replaced with AR coated lens. There is a small blem in the reflector, but it is not noticeable in the beam. The light has an Omten switch with a spring bypass, all O-Rings have been replaced with BUNA-70 O-Rings, all O-Rings are lubed with Nitecore silicon grease, all electrical contact threads are lubricated with NO OX ID electrically conductive grease. The driver is spring bypassed. The pill has a spacer to help prevent full compression of the spring from the weight of the 26650’s x2. This light gets HOT!!! It is pulling over 10A on high. I blew 2 10A fuses in my DMM trying to get a reading. It gave a brief 14.3A reading before popping the fuse the first time. My DMM cables are 12” long and 12AWG. 57kcd output on 2 Efest green 26650’s. Below are pictures of the light. On a couple of the pictures, especially the one with the driver, there is some discoloration on the light. That is just the copper colored NO OX ID grease. Selling this for $90 shipped to continental US residents.
Thanks. I appreciate the compliments. I like the color too.
For those with sticker shock, I know this is a lot for a HD-2010, but it’s right at what I have in the light. Figure $30 for the light and tube extension, $20 in the driver and LED, $10 in lens, O-Rings and other parts, $10-15 shipping, and $35 for the custom Cerakote job. I got nothing to hide.
I have a HD2010 running the MTG-2 at 2.7 amps and it gives out a real nice light. Yours at 10+ amps must be a daylight maker. All the best for the sale.
Yeah, I opted for no turbo timer. I personally hate them as they always kick in when I don’t want it too, especially while hunting. I know it’s safety if it’s accidentally turned on and left on, but a lot with our lights require common sense such as Li-ion use. So, I just left it up to whoever buys it using some common sense. It can double as a hand warmer in the winter on high!
I’ve become quite enamored with the guppydrv firmware for its ability to easily set any turbo timer you want, appropriate to the light. While I kind of dislike turbo timers I make some high current lights that just aren’t safe without one (10A to an MT-G2 in an HD2010 would be appropriate). I think all my future drivers will be flashed with it when possible.
This is a good deal, I wish you luck with the sale!
Probably, but it’s got 5 modes 2% - 5% - 20% - 50% - 100. I could always use smaller gauge wires and un-bypass the springs to increase resistance, or use lesser made batteries, but where is the fun in that? There is definitely differences in the different modes, less so between 2 and 5, but the others are noticeably spaced out. If it were for me, I’d personally run it at 20 or 50% a majority of the time and leave the 100% alone unless I absolutely needed it. Now that you mention it, I need to measure the current on each mode.
