EagleTac TX25C2 Reflector / Host

[viperbart]

Does anyone know or could measure the reflector dimensions on the EagleTac TX25C2?

I am looking for a host for a build that would have similar size/beam properties as this.

My dream light would be a TX25C2 with a BLF17DD driver and an electronic switch.

Based on that, reflector is probably around P60-size.

I have a digital caliper, will measure later tonight, I did not find a similar host and ended up buying the light. I love it, changed the led to XP-G2 and it throws!

The reflector is a bit funky shaped. (It also scratches when you look at it)

Thanks Calvin! I really wish they made this light with an infinitely variable brightness ring. Like the V11R

I have one each of these two...

Both with 17DD momentary drivers, 6 levels, the $12 one has the stock XML moved onto a Sinkpad, the UF-T50 has a XPG2. The only difference is the cheaper one doesn't have anodized threads or branding on it, other than that they're both similar build quality. Both outperform a P60 built with the same parts, there's something magic about the reflector in those little lights.

Thanks for the great info and pics Calvin!

Comfychair, how did you heatsink the pill on that Ultrafire? I read somewhere that it’s a bad heat transfer design from the pill to the head.
I would probably get rid of the magnet inside the cap for more room to add a front spring and bigger heatsink.

That EagleTac reflector is available to buy on its own. That thing throws 20KLux with an XM-L2 at 3.3Amps…
Imagine that thing dedomed with 6Amps… All i would need then is a host that fits it. That would be easy. (sarcasm)

"PH-08" (UF-T50 clone), only $12

http://www.fasttech.com/products/1674603 [image] [image] [image] Modes are different than the T50 (Hi > Mid > Lo > Strobe > SOS (no memory), instead of ramping) but honestly, the T50's implementation of ramping is the worst way to do it I can think of. That's a momentary switch there, not a mechanical/latching clicky, so it would be a great host for drivers using the open source momentary firmwares. If FT's pics are representative, fit & finish looks identical to the original UF-T50.

The cheaper version is actually better - it has the pill clamped tight against the bottom of the head when the bezel is screwed on, the UF-T50 isn't like that, the pill just hangs off the bottom of the reflector and floats in empty space in the head. It can be shimmed to fill in that gap and make it fit correctly, but it's easier to just buy the one that only costs $12 and put the good parts in it.
