So far, I like what I'm hearing.... :beer:
Letās see some pics of the driver and see if our BLF experts can identify what the new components are.
About to put the other samples emitters on copper, Iāll try to get that āMOSFETā a little better so it can be identified.
Very good news so far, you guys are awesome.
I guess those Al-MCPCBs arenāt dtpā¦ For the standard cheap Al-boards the amps might be a bit high. I think we really need copper.
I mean I wouldnāt mind if they come with standard al-boards, because for me itās no problem to change the board, might do this anyway because I want to put a XP-L HI in there, but not everyone can do a MCPCB-swapā¦
Wow, I donāt know if we can call that wightās driver anymore. Very different! (Visually, at least)
Dale,
What is the emitter on the samples? CW/NW?
Thanks,

I am exited for this to be progressing as it has. The speed is not great, but getting what we want in a light more than makes up for itā¦
I am also in on the LuckySun BLF D80-SE group buy and that looks good to me as wellā¦ Different light, so not really a competition between them.
Vielen Danke to our Taschenlampen-Forum visitors that are getting in on this, the more the merrier!
MUCH thanks to the organizers of this Group Buyā¦
Tried not to look, ā¦.just a peekā¦. 5 amps is 2 good to pass up. Crap. Im in for 2 any tint. Thanx to everyone who has worked so hard on this and continues to do so.

The sample is a Neutral White, prob 3C, a tad bit on the warm side but I like it quite a bit.
Iām figuring a spring bypass and some 20ga wires ought to get it well up in the 6A range.
That mosfet has a considerably higher Rds On than anything I use. Considerably cheaper too. lol Trade-offs, always about the compromise isnāt it?
Thanks Dale!

Thanks Dale!
Do you think this could easily be transformed into a triple?
No problem, and yeah, I donāt see why not. Might have to fudge the available space to get the top end components to play nicely, and add a bit o copper, but it should work.
DISCLAIMER: The following information is for recreational purposes only. YMMV
Spring bypass top and bottom, throughpass at the tail to take power from the top of the spring directly to the switch, 20 ga wires throughout, from the driver leads to the spring bypassesā¦. she does 5.78A on the already slightly used LG HE4 cell for 1590.45 Lumens at start-up.
THATāS WHAT IāM TALKING ABOUT! YEAH BAAAAABY! From a factory driver with minimal tweaking, a first, and you got it right here on the ground breaking BudgetLightForum!!! :bigsmile:
Nice!
Wish that I had the skills to do that, but 5.27A will be great for me!
Thanks Dale,
-Chuck
Giggityā¦
Chuck, look close at the numbersā¦ fully tweaked it makes a measly 160 more lumens. You canāt even see that up there on the top end.
Straight out of the box itās ready to roll, never been done like that before and itās because Bugsy and Neal worked Eagle Eye into submission. (Bugsy put some time and effort into this puppy!)
Standard 97 yard shot, wide angleā¦
And 17 yds to our garage doorsā¦
So what good are these beamshots in daylight??!? Wait a minuteā¦
Hehehehā¦good āun!
