Did you lose the diode? That would certainly prevent it from coming on…

And yes, that’s the right driver for the job.

I broke another brain chip today. I don’t know how I keep doing that.

What are you doing when they “break”? Overheating the chip?

this time… I was stacking 7135’s and the driver jumped out of the alligator clips. Something shot off the driver and I heard it hit the wall but I couldn’t find any tiny components on the floor. hooked up a battery and LED and it won’t power on. I stuck one of the qlite drivers with guppydrv in the light after I stacked drivers on it. It was a build for a friend.

I just just want to clarify, if I want a xhp70 in a light, the FET with Zener mod 6V LVP would be a proper driver for it right? 2s 18650’s.

Show us a picture, Rich has all the components and we can play “what’s missing from this picture?”. :bigsmile:

[Halo]

Then take a high res picture of your carpet and we can try to play where’s waldo!

“i can see it - but i won´t tell!”

[RMM]

Lol, if you looked through my carpet you'd probably find enough parts to build several drivers. Sometimes I drop something and go looking for it and find several 7135 chips, resistors, and diodes.

Hello RMM

I am going to mod a flashlight with a FET Driver powering a single XP-L V6 and want the best high discharge 18650 with very good capacity, what do you have for sale? Any interesting batteries with high discharge / high capacity arriving soon?

Thanks!

Could you please include the contents of your vacuum cleaner bag in my next order! :bigsmile:

Nothing newer than the LG HE4, although the super high-drain cells are still at 2500mAh, I'm sure that higher capacity cells will be introduced in the future. There are some rumors of 3000mAh super high-drain cells (20A+) coming in a few months, but nothing for sure for now. The best compromise cells are still the Panasonic PF and BD and the new LG MH1 which is a Pana. BD competitor with 10A continuous discharge rating and 3200mAh.

Have you tried any XHP’s in a Convoy M1 or M2 to see what the hot spot looks like since they have OP reflectors? Just wondering if a XHP pocket rocket is doable.

Have you tried a XHP in a Supfire L3 yet to se how bad of a cross or donut it has?

Also is there a ETA when you will have more C8 host and mechanics solder paste?

I was going to build a Convoy S5 XHP50 pocket rocket, until someone in the family decided to misplace my qlite zener mod kit :sad:

I have build a XHP50 S8. It has become really nice with a very acceptable beam. See post #671 of the xhp50/70 thread:

Also makes me want to just get on the FET driver bandwagon :cash:

No white wall shots?

at your service , in this other beamshot thread, post #64 :

Show us your beam shots - XHP70, XHP50, MT-G2 - for comparison

Ok, so we have members doing builds for the new four die leds, the XHP70 and XHP50. How do they compare to MT-G2? Let's see some good comparison beam shots and the elusive white wall captures. We need to see how these leds stack up as far as beam profiles. Tell us what reflectors or optics you are using and what you did to get a good beam, if you got one without the MT-G2 dark spots or the four die X of death. How about it? Edit: I have the XHP70 6V stars now and the leds should arri…

[pilotdog68]

I can drop an M2 reflector over an XHP50. Just give me a few hours

[DB_Custom (Dale)]

The stock OP reflector does a very nice job with it.

This is one serious flashlight! Right at 3000 lumens, 8 ounce copper pill, finned, by Buck and a 304SS 2 cell battery tube also by Buck. You go to pick it up off the shelf and think it’s glued down or something! lol

[pilotdog68]

Here is “popcorn ceiling” shot of a neutral XHP50 in an M2 reflector with a small spacer under the reflector. The white balance is off, but it shows the beam decently i guess. It definitely doesn’t look that ringy in person. It’s pretty floody, but definitely very usable.

[Jubeldum]

That looks awesome in the M2. I got a XHP50 3D tint coming from LEDDNA and a Convoy M1 host not being used. Now I need a driver. Which would work better. A a zener modded DD17 or a zener modded Nanjg 105C with 16x 7135?

[zoom_zoom]

Is there a how to on Zener modding the njang drivers somewhere that I'm missing?
