Hi guys,
Looking to put together 2 new flashlights, never tried this before so may need a little guidance please…
EDC
Convoy S2+, CREE XM-L2 5D LED and QLITE REV.A 7135*8 with guppydrv modes. (I know 2.8A will get hot fast but this will be a ‘turbo’ mode, 35% will be the normal ‘high’.
Zoomie
For a bit of throwing fun because I don’t have a zoomie at anywhere near 2.8A
Host
Similar LED to above, but U3 1A
Same Driver with guppydrv
So, this is what I am planning, a couple of questions…
Is there anywhere else I can get the driver with guppydrv. I can get the other parts elseware, the delivery charge to the UK from mtnelectronics takes up a large part of the budget.
Also, any better 18650 zoomie hosts without spending much more money? Smaller ones will always be the preference, hence zoomie over large head dedicated thrower… that and the flood is useful.
Can someone recommend a good guide (video would be best) to follow, I know there are a lot out there but that is the problem, finding a good one that is easy to follow and gets it right.
Lastly, will I need to solder some thicker wires onto the driver or are the stock ones ok?
Thanks in advance
