Current questions:
Read a few times about the Convoy S2+ being run with 18500. What I gathered is you need the 18350 tube, replace the reflector with an optic, and shave a few threads off the pill. Is this correct?
Planning on putting XP-G3 R3 4000K 90+ CRI , 10507 Carclo Lens , BLF X6 Driver , and BLF X6 Lighted Switch
Should all work together good, right? Would I need to add a bleeder resistor or something, or would it already be included on the driver as the light its from has the lighted tail?

Figured out:
Been away a while and want to upgrade the lights above.

Got an XHP70 coming, along with 26350s. I am thinking about putting it in my UF-1504 host. What would a good 2s driver for this light? Would either like simple low-med-hi with high being DD with LV protection, or maybe something cool like the BLF A6 driver, but higher voltage.
How would the xhp70 fair in an aspheric build? Wanted to make it a thrower, and I know that this emitter is not optimal for it. But thought it would be cool and dont got many available hosts to put it in.

Next up is the XinTD X3
Want to use this driver and this switch . Need to know what a good emitter to use in this build would be and need to find a clear switch boot. Ideas?

Ok, had some time to do a little research, and think this driver would be good for the xhp70. But still not sure about the ashperic and that emitter. Anyone done it yet?

3

Maybe the XHP70 2 be a better choice as the dies are closer together and will not have the cross shape as badly as the XHP70.

4

Well, not really a choice. Won it in a recent giveaway and would like to use it. Guess I could put it in the X3, but wanted to do the lighted tail switch h in that, but plans can change

5

Ok. Dont let me put you off putting it your 1504. :slight_smile:

Well, thing is if it’s going to look horrid with an aspheric, then really not worth it. Only emitters I ever really uses in an aspheric is xre, xml and xml2.

Another host isn’t out either. I do got an old blf A8 that’s been stock for way too long also lol.

Won what I believe is the emitter and a pair of 26350s in the Old Lumens memorial give a way from leroycp. Would like to use them in a build.

Here are [CyrusAM]’s Retina Burner Build and Sale threads.
[mdeni] has tried it in a 1405 and returned to XP-G2 later.

Appears the xhp70 won was a complete light, so don’t need anything on that

Anyone know where to buy a clear switch boot to go with the lighted switch? Searched banggood and a few other places and can’t find any

What size exactly?
Kaidomain has a lot of boot caps.

Yup, kaidomain has them. Forgot about that place. Thanks
