In depending on the price.
That looks like a great host for the MT-G2. So what output does the light do when modded with the resistor stack and a MT-G2 ?
Driver size?
A simple ceiling bounce test and lux meter app on my phone seems to show that an MT-G2 P0 5000K paired with a driver that has a stacked R100, at least 3000 OTF lumens. I have compared this to my S6330vn (NW, dome on) and RaceR86’s modded SolarStorm SP03.
In Jmpaul320’s test! it settles at about 2500. From my eyes and via a ceiling bounce test, it’s certainly brighter than the S6330vn, but slightly less than the SP03. The SP03 is probably doing around 3500.
If I were to compare all three lights to a Shockervn, the Shocker would simply blow all three out of the water 1 vs 1.
Thanks, that will be around 6/7 amps, IMO about perfect for the MT-G2 :-)
Dipper D19 is a great flashlight.
My arrived today (from BG) quality is really good.
It has AR lens and perfect reflector.
I’m in for one if price will be better than is already.
And please ask for possibility of buying driver as a spare part.
Driver is really good. Is 22mm. Has low voltage indicator (start blinking if voltage is low) for two and for one cell.
Has current stabilisation and no visible PWM.
It looks like it would work out fine for your planed mods.
The only think that would hold anyone back is the cost of the host and parts to complete this mod.
I wonder how many people do any mods at all to the lights they buy??
I’d be interested. Count me in please.
I’m interested as well. MT-G2 lights are rather addictive.
How hard can you safely drive a XM-L2 in this host? It looks like it has lots of mass to soak up the heat. I only ordered a 3 amp driver with my Convoy M2 host because I figured anything more than that on a host that small would overheat.
At the right price, I’m in.
I’m in… and even better if we can get a custom engraving.
I’m in terested, looks like it could be a beast of a light!!! 8)
XM-L2 + 5A + D19 = easy
MT-G2 + 5A + D19 = doable, but gets very, very, very toasty around the 20-25 minute mark
If you have a good enough driver with that XM-L2, it should be able to stay on high, albeit dimming as time goes by, for at least 40 minutes free standing.
I’m in
If a XM-L2 U3 2A would make this throw good, I’m game. I figure that this won’t happen overnight so it will give me enough time to budget for it.
Right, it won’t happen fast for sure. I imagine it will take weeks to get banggood and the mfg to get together and get on the same page. That is if the wind doesn’t blow the pages away.
11/30/14 - So far, the factory says 150 light minimum, just for hosts. I don't know if we can get that many, but I am waiting for more info from BG on specs and what the host will have for sure. Another uphill battle and long haul. Time will tell.
I still need a price and specs from BG.
Sorry, if it had a side e-switch I'd be in for a couple.
Closed this due to the fact that the Mfg will not budge on the price at all.
Maybe this one will come to pass.
