Tripple xml U2 Mag in PURPLE !!!

Flashlight Modding and DIY Parts
1

Well it's finally finished, big thanks to Old-Lumens for inspiration and to TechJunkie for his help in the electronics side.

The Light is a 3d Mag driven by 4c cells using techjunkies AMC 7135 board master/slave mod. I've used 3 xml U2 1C (i think) leds all driven to 3 amps using Kaidomains V2 of the AMC 7135*8 board

Leds are from LED-TECH.DE they are very well made and are fitted to a lovely copper star.

And now the light apologies for the poor pics will try and get some better ones on the weekend.

The reflectors are a bit off but thats easy to fix :)

LOOOOW mode

Rubbish celling bounce but for comparison the main celling light contains 3 60w incan bulbs

Well guys what do you think please be honest. :)

That's a really nice mod. What did you sleeve the batteries with?

3

Good question :) well until i can find a better solution i've just used some cardboard to make a sleeve around each battery, thats stopping them from rattling around.

It rocks! Nice job. How did you do the heatsink?

5

I'm not sure if this works or not but here is the common recommendation for shimming 4C inside of a 3D light...

1" schedule 40 pvc pipe

Heatsink is fro Derwichtel from CPF its a very nice piece of machinery and i highly recommend it and any of his heat sinks, in fact i've used his heat sinks for my last 2 mag mods :)

Very nice mod. That's a good looking light!

That's Cool ! I love to read about Maglite mods.

Nice Mod! Glad to see you did it.

What are the reflectors?

I think you can find PVC that will work, if you have a good hardware store locally. If not, you can use the plastic sleeves that protect fluorescent bulbs. They are easy to cut with a hot razor blade and you can use a couple layers of it, to take up the space. You can get it wrapped around the batteries and heat with a hair dryer, to form the stuff. Not too hot though, or the battery wrap melts. Or just use something like a dowel, that is the same OD of the batteries, to form the sleeves around.

Nice! Give us more pics of the internal assembly, reflectors, heatsing, driver, how was the mag changed, etc. :)

You guys don't want much do you !! lol

The heatsink was from Derwichtel on CPF along with the reflectors (they all come in one package) The wiring of the drivers comes from this post

everything you need is on there. I don't have any internal pics of mine and i won't be taking it apart (hopefully lol)

Batteries are charged individually using a tenergy B6 hobby charger..
