Hi guys, I’m new in this flashlight modding world and eager to learn and enjoy. I have a Convoy L2 with an XPL HI NW emitter. I like the 1 cell form factor of the L2 but I’d like more output, so I would like to mod it to an XHP50 or XHP70 NW
Mi questions are: What emitter should I get so I can get 2500+lm? Will it work with L2 original driver? Will it work and give typical XHP50/70 output out of one Keeppower 5200mah?
I know that this questions might sound silly but I’m trying to learn. Any explanation on how to do this and suggested components would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your response. But getting a little confused here. Ive seen a few lights with a single 26650 battery running an XHP70 like the Klarus G20L for example that can put out 3000lm. Will this not be possible on an L2?
I know that the bigger the emitter more output but less throw. So that’s why I thought the XHP50 would be right in the middle.
Any suggestions on how to get more than 1000lm with a single 26650 on the L2? possibly the XHP35?
XHP35 is a 12v emitter. Your best bet is to run the SST-40 FETDD driver for the out put you seek, 2500lms. I have another L2 running 2S 26650 and a XHP50 @ 9amps, that is really sweet! Nice blend of throw and flood and nice tint a XHP50 J4-1D.
Have you checked out the L2/L6 modding thread.might get some info that will help….Convoy L2/L6 modding thread
Dont quite know what a FETDD driver is or where to find it, could you please explain or link me one. Also, if you know a good place to buy leds on their PCBs or the SST-40 in Neutral white 4000-4500k would be amazing.
Also these very really smart members are working on something you might be interested in LED drivers and Accessories you want, but don’t exist might want to inquire there about a 20mm 6v single cell boost driver! Your L2 is the newer model with the 20mm driver correct?
Ok, so if XHP50 6V emitter cant run out of a single 26650, could you guys explain how Klarus G20L runs a XHP70 out of a single cell…? I don’t understand.
That was the example I took for my process of thought to convert the L2 at a higher output.
If you want a FET direct drive driver and add a de-domed/shawed Sst-40 or an XP-l Hi (I guess you want throw (long range)) you could use a 17mm BLF A6 A17DD-L FET+1 driver but I’m guessing you need a 17mm to 20mm driver adaptor.
I’m guessing you want a long range flashlight. I think you should go for a Direct Drive FET driver with de-domed/shawed Sst-40 or a XP-L Hi or if you can find a good 12V driver that’s fits then go for a XHP35 Hi.
I don’t know what size of the driver the L2 have so just guessing here.
I live in the UK, and yeah, I’m looking for a thrower but I thought I could give it more output. The XPL HI works fine but could always do with more light isn’t it…?
Of course I could use the second battery on the L2 but for that matter I would have gotten the L6… I like the small profile thrower…!!
I have an L2 running a xhp35 hi with a mtn buck driver that gets 2480 lumens and 280 kcd with 4 26350 in it. I’ve been thinking about getting one of those kaidomain boost drivers in it and see how it does with 2 26350’s
