Has anyone actually done and documented all the mods required to do XHP50? I dont think any of those 2s2p boards or any driver has ever been tested. I guess Lexel needs to buy this PCB?
Thanks for the answers, by “spacer” do you mean a “retaining washer” like this flat bar style djozz made?
(DIY washer+M4 screw)
I suppose it could be a round washer instead of a flat bar?

Or maybe swap out the stock springs with these?

I’d really like to know if the Luxeon V 4000K is overall more white (less yellow) compared to the 4000K Crees.
I think first I’ll order 1pc. Luxeon V and install it in a single emitter light and see how I like it compared to Cree XPL 5A.
2. Yes, even I plan to put these springs in my Q8 once I receive them. They are still not as good as a proper spring bypass. This is the only way you could get 7000 lumens+ out of a non XHP50.2 light.
Luxeon V 4000K has a better tint than all Cree 4000K leds, but the 4000K 80 CRI Cree leds (all types that I came across) still have a very good tint.
For the 7000K+ output you do need a spring bypass.
The reflector holes do not need to be adapted, the V’s fit in the holes. You do need to ream the plastic centerpieces, and because they are so thin and provide little grip it is not easy (and there is 4 of them :weary: )
I have an XHP70.2 centering ring that was 3D printed using glow in the dark material. Would be nice if someone could organize a batch of these (with the fit the Luxeon V needs) at a reasonable cost. Green GID would work well with the already green lighted switch.
Low quality picture of what I mean, Convoy M1 with XHP70.2 centering ring and reflector reamed to fit.
lol, I have been trying to keep this quite for awhile. I have actually been planning on using this idea as a branding trademark for my lights for almost a year now. Just got to get some lights made first.
The one I have is a bit “rough” and needed a little bit more slicing with a knife to fit properly but it does glow decently for a short period after the light turns off. I suspect going even smaller than XHP70 size accuracy gets even worse though. Is it a printer issue or just the nature of this material? IDK.
The other popular way people implement these is under the 3Up and 4Up optics but almost all my lights are incompatible without modifying it. Jaxman E2L triples have that shelf that prevents the glow ring from going down to the MCPCB without trimming it. My S2+ triple uses LED4Power’s MOSX pcb so it has a FET and other stuff on the PCB so it wont work there either. I dont have a quad version but im afraid a D4 might melt or deform one of these suckers but people claim it doesnt…
I’ve printed my XHP70.2 centering ring for the BLF GT, but I don’t think I can print a centering ring for the luxeons, they’re so small and tolerances are big
