They are rated at between 0 to 222 lumens difference at 3A, depending on which end of the bin your respective comparative emitters are.
Just grabbed some XP-L and XP-G2 S2 triples!!
Typical that the sale email goes out 5 minutes after I submit an order :bigsmile:
No I havent looked. I was referring to my order of 6 or so MCPCBs some Efest cells, and a triple optic, it arrived, sans the triple MCPCB. You had none at the time (test order on the new site), but after a PM or contact via the site you were going to include one from your private stash for me, my delivery arrived two days ago, but no triple. I was sad 
Thanks. I ordered the rest of the parts I need for a Cypreus and a MT-G2 Convoy M2. 
What is the lead time on the moonlight special drivers? I have an order waiting on one 
Bdiddle, they’ll be ready by midnight on All Hallow’s Eve! Mmmuuuuhahahahahahahahahaha!
JK, Happy Halloween! 
Putting the finishing touches on them right now. It has been a crazy week.
Anniversary Sale. Starting later this week, we are going to have our "First Anniversary Sale". All of the details are still TBA, but there will be some great deals on lots of great products. You will hear about it here and through the newsletter as soon as things are ready to go.
Holiday Shipping. There will be no shipping from 11-23 through 12-1, along with slowed e-mail/message response time during that period. We are taking a much needed vacation to go and visit family during the holidays. The store will still be open, but orders will not begin to ship until 12-1, and may take a few days as we work through the backlog.
If you need something (that isn't a custom order) before Christmas, I recommend placing your order by 12-7 to be sure that it will make it in time.
For the moonlight special driver, which AMC7135 should I not stack extra ones on?
I'm trying to dig up a picture (here at school)but can't fine one, but the positions on that side are the same as a standard 7135:
I am going to have to apologize to those of you who have received replies to your messages 3+ days after you sent them. On the weekends especially I try to focus on building as many lights and drivers as I can, so I don't stop and look at my messages often. This morning I opened up my e-mail and my unread messages + PMs was well over 30 
, so I am digging through them little by little. Has anyone figured out how I can make a clone of myself yet?

This sale will most likely be like a new .99 cent store opening where they give away things like free t.v.s to those first in line, etc. Is everyone foaming at the mouth already? Quality merchandise at discounted prices = feeding frenzy!
On your marks…… get set……
Richard, $4.90 for a IMR is pretty tempting. As HKJ has not reviewed the cell yet, what does it do in a single XM-L2 light with a DD driver?
It was pretty good, but I'll do a comparison with it direct drive in the same light vs an NCR18650B, 20R, and 25R and let you know. I don't expect anywhere near a 20R since it only has a 7A maximum continuous discharge, but we'll see. The capacity is good, I know that. I have been playing with one for about a week now trying it out before listing it because I wanted to make sure that at least the capacity claim was real.
OK, so I did a quick and dirty test of the ENOVA 2600mAh cell.
Last weekend, the cell averaged about 2660mAh reported on the Opus at 0.5A discharge. I'm not sure how accurate it is, except it seems to be in the ballpark on the cells I've tested.
I tested it direct drive to an XM-L (not XM-L2) I had on my large heat sink. The XM-L usually reads a bit higher direct drive compared to XM-L2s. 4.2v starting voltage for all cells. 4" 24 AWG leads + meter leads.
Sanyo FJ 2200mAh: 4.7A
Enova 2600mAh: 5.7A
Samsung 25R 2500mAh: 6.4A
Average of 3 internal resistance readings on Opus (do not compare with readings from other sources:
Sanyo FJ: 128 mOhm
Enova 2600: 85 mOhm
Sam. 25R: 45 mOhm
It isn't a 25R replacement, but it is a decent enough performer for the price.
Decent enough that, assuming the supply lasts, I might want to start replacing my Sanyo USGR’s with them. Thanks for sussing out this option, Richard.
Richard;
Have you done any night hunting/special purpose lights with the most powerful red LEDs available yet? Thinking that a SRK or M6 with your 7 level firmware and the red LEDs would make an interesting light for those who want both night sight preserving low red light output and high output red for hunting or night animal observation seeing as how most wild animals are blind to red light.
Nothing I know of on the market that quite fills that bill other than a DIY light possibly. Closest might be the Nitecore Chameleon CR6 but it’s red output is weak compared to what I expect could be done.
I actually have done a few of them for friends and family, but I'm afraid that I just don't have time to reach out to any new markets right now. I am maxxed out as it is.
Richwouldnt, you might be able to at least stick your foot in the water. It’s not terribly difficult to put a red LED into an existing host, as long as you make sure to keep the current at appropriate levels. The XP-E2 won’t deal with the same amount of power we give to XM-L2s.
The brightest one I’ve made goes up to about 170 lumens of pure red (driven very conservatively), with 1x16340 as the power source:
This is a rather small light, nowhere near the output you seem to have in mind, but on the highest mode it kind of makes my eyes want to bug out. It’s just soooo red!
I’m only doing 700mA on mine in order to make it more efficient, but you can probably safely get 300lm per emitter at ~2A each. And since it’s so small, it should have pretty good throw. You might want to use LiFePO4 3V batteries instead of the common Li-Ion cells we use though, to keep the voltage down closer to what the red XP-E2 wants and reduce unnecessary heat.
Or of course there’s the CR6. Much easier than building one.
