Hmm, that’s pretty much exactly what I’m planning for the F13. Was debating a zener mod for a 105C, where I could hardwire the star to 10%/100%. Didn’t even think about using the L2 as a host. Comes with a FC, so I’m most of the way there. Just forgot offhand what diameter driver it uses.
I don’t want a DD-FET, but a regulated FET. I’d rather have consistent output for a longer time.
Modded a Crelant 7”G”10 about 3 years ago with a MT-G2, modded the stock driver to 8amps, (old school step ramping UI) and with that very light OP reflector, it’s the only light I have never (ever) thought about going back later and changing, never going to get rid of it, it’s just that beautiful! :heart_eyes:
And I still use it! 
(and it’s still working) 
I also did a UTorch MT-G2 that was just as Beautiful, but that one got taken away from me, but she let’s me use it once in awhile, if I can find it!
It dosen’t matter what you put it in, or what you power it with, just put it in something and for sure it’s going to be Beautiful! :heart_eyes:
You just can’t lose with the MT-G2!! :+1:
That’s exactly why I wanted to do something with a MT-G2…
I like the MT-G2 so much, I modded a old school Surefire 961 weapon light with it, bored out for 2x18500’s at 6amps and fully potted with Stycast and put it on my .308 SBR. You could say it’s Bullet Proof!!
Sorry about the old phone camera crappy pics, but you get the Gist! :heart_eyes:
Almost 5 years and a thousand plus rounds down range, never a flicker!
I put a mt-g2 in the old tk35 (and clones) as its 2s stock and the c8 sized reflector its a dead simple “get off my grass” type of light.
I have an older Convoy C8 (with pill) with a zener modded Nanjg 105 driver with 6 extra stacked 7135’s.
(14 in total = 14 x 0.35 = 4.9 Amperes)
I can use it with 2x 18350 or 2x 18650 (with the Fasttech extension tube, which fits the old but not the newer Convoy C8).
for the sake of the old school-ness of it all, i put a green switch boot in the tail cap.
I did a topic on it: 0ld school C8 + MT-G2 zener mod 14x 7135
It runs out of breath pretty fast though, because the Vf is rather high.
That’s why the H1A driver could be a better choice, although that only pushes 3 Amperes through the LED, but will maintain the voltage.
And then you can run it from a single cell.
It’s cute though with 2x 18350.
Looks like an average older C8, but has that 2700 lumen punch. 
Thanks. I have a Convoy M2 that I put an MT-G2 in, where I had to widen the reflector opening quite a bit to fit the dome through. Kapton tape along the bottom of the reflector to protect the die, so similar in that regard. I’m just thinking that an L2 with the same kind of setup could be a nice ‘big brother’ to my M2…
Yep, that’s kinda what I want. Simple, very effective, and MT-G2 goodness.
That’s what bugs me, though. All these drivers insist on loading up with all kinds of silly modes, and few if any have just 1 mode and ideally an LVP blink and cutout. I’d be happy with just 1 mode and to use protected cells if need be.
So the ones I got on order seem to be good candidates, albeit force me to use 2 cells instead of just 1. Oh, how I’d love one of those to work down from 1 cell. I might just try it to see if it’s an “undocumented feature” or if it really is architecturally just a buck converter and not, say, a boost-buck.
That would be tres kewl to be able stuff an MT-G2 in, say, a side-clicky C8 from Sofirn. ’Though of course not the triple, but, say, the one with the single XP-L or whichever it is.
(Wow, I kinda feel sorry for the other 2 Sofirn C8s, as only the triple has gotten all this attention lately. )
But I like the beefiness of the F13, and the L2 would be quite nice with an MT-G2 in it.
Oooh, it might even function as a glass broker and/or brick smaher! :smiling_imp:

Nice work there johnkey68, very nice!!! 
ДВ?
+1 Nice work. :+1:
O by the way, i just got an MT-G2 from Intl. Outdoor a couple of days ago myself.
No idea what to do with it yet though…
It’s just a beautiful LED to ‘have’.
ДВ , ДВ - если ты земляк об этом
Nou, daar begrijp ik dus helemaal niks van.
