Btw. If you are going for a DD FET driver make sure your emitter sits on a DTP (direct thermal path) Mcpcb and put on some good thermal paste under it like the Arctic Cooling MX-4 Thermal Compound so it can transfer the heat properly to the flashlight host.
Same if you use the xhp35 Hi.

Hey johnkey68 nice set up…!!
Yeah, something like that is what Im after. Is that single cell light?
Do you know estimate output… does it throw reasonably well…?
Thanks for sharing…!!
Hey interesting approach…!! would like to know how that turns out…!
2 x 26350 = O.K. !!!
!
I’m thinking of the same setup.
Did the driver fit well? I found it in 22mm version
Wich spring did you use?
How do you experience the light/ trow/ flood? Do you have some beamshots?
I have my L2 running with one cell and a XHP50.2
I use this driver http://www.kaidomain.com/p/S026606.H1-A-20mm-3A-1-cell-5-Mode-Boost-Driver-Circuit-Board-for-Cree-XHP50-6V-MT-G2-MK-R2
It is nice!
Any beamshots of the 50.2 in your L2, johnkey68?
Convoy L2 + Cree XHP50.2 6500K
And for comparison : UltrraFire F13 + OP reflector + XHP50.2 6500K VS KDL C8.2 XHP50.2 5000K
Very nice, thanks for the beamshots and comparison. How do the tints of the new 50.2 compare to other leds Johnkey68? The photos make it seem like the 6500k is pretty warm and the 5000k looks really warm, but I know it’s pretty difficult to get accurate color temperature in most photos. Are they as warm as they look, or different in person? Thanks again, nice mod
Hey guys back to the thread.
I have looked at the options, and Kaidomain H1-A boost driver + XHP50.2 de-domed on the Convoy L2 seems like the most plausible option for what I'm looking for (higher output yet maintaining a decent throw in one cell config.)
Do any of you guys have this particular setup? could you share some more opinions, max lumen output and throw and some beamshots (thanks Johnkey68 for yous), please..?
I also noticed that KDLITKER C8.2 uses an XHP35 HI claiming 2000 lumens (dunno about that) using a 20mm own KD driver (I suspect)
Do you guys know what driver that one is, and where to find it..? links, please :) Thanks for your support..!
There is a 12v version of the FX35. Like the H2-C, it is nominally 22mm. Unlike the H2-C, it is limited to 1s input.
Hopefully Lexel will be making and selling his own boost drivers soon. I hope in a month or less, but it’s hard to say. Check out his thread.
They will be 20mm and larger and can power a 6v xhp50.2 or 70.2 at 6 amps. That is roughly 4k and 5k lumen! He can also run less power if you choose.
We are just waiting patiently. Lol
Hello, I have not modified a light enough, I want to build a new L2 from a single battery with xhp 50.2 and controller h1-A, is there any resistance mod for this controller? I have some r100, and then the classic, awg 20 bypass in the springs … any idea of lumens and CD in this configuration? greetings and many thanks!
I want to use 1 battery
How do I need to modify it?
The specification needs to start 6 v
If you want to use a xhp50.2 or SST-40 and a single battery then I would buy the 3 volt led and use a FET driver so you can get a nice user interface and higher output.
If you want 6 volt output you need a boost driver which was mentioned earlier. It has a more basic interface and lesser output (3A@6v).
