What you got today

Olight S20 from doingoutdoor draw, first impressions, very small, tailcap is anodized but gritty as hell, will need cleaning and relubing. The driver is nothing i have ever seen before, but i can only see the back of it looking into the battery tube.
The headcap doesn’t come off, and the clip is not easy to remove (to prevent anodization scratching)
Now i need to buy some 18650s so it can be powered

I got a pair of these and so far they’re running the HD2010 quite nicely (one at a time of course) BatterySpace.com/AA Portable Power Corp. Tel: 510-525-2328 - Powerizer Battery Official Site Have a driver coming that JohnnyMac recommended to up that HD2010 to 5A and am looking for the right XM-L2 to go on a copper star….

I got some Teflon coated 20ga wire off ebay, (25’ of white/brwn stripe 12’ of white $12.90 shipped) so I’m just about ready to do some modding, have emitters reflowed to copper boards, need to do some cutting on 6061 bar stock with the ancient drill press to try and get a heat sink rigged up for a minimagmod. Pushing a XP-G2 direct drive on a single 14500 protected, see how that works out. Just plan on using one of those short reflectors for the packaged minimag drop in led, from niteize I think. Throws a pretty good beam sitting on the heat sink, hoping it’ll be fairly easy. (Which means it won’t be of course)

DBCstm. Whats the driver you have coming for the HD2010?

JohnnyMac recommended this 5A 4Group 9 mode driver. In the second group, I believe a Hi/Med/Lo group, the settings are rampable to the light intensity of your choice. I thought that was pretty cool. From Int’l Outdoor, it’s this one

5A 3-Mode 2.7-4.5V Circuit board
Item# 2.7-4.5V Circuit board

I want to make a copper pill like Gords did for his, but that’s probably beyond me. Might try it with my starter tools in al and see where I get.

Of course I ordered 2 of em, hate ordering one thing on a slow boat and have that one get here doa, so I almost never order a single item…3 emitters at a time to ensure I get the bin or tint I was looking for, like that. :wink:

Yeah Yeah Yeah, I know, it says 3 mode, but there’s hidden caveats and you can request a 4 group 9 mode right there on the page :wink:

Yep I have a few 4 amp versions. Thanks. It will be interesting to know what yours are actually putting out.

Me sir? I dont have an hd2010……

What you mean is fit a p60 pill like tom e did? Problem being the 5a driver is too tall for a p60 pill, you’d have to dremmel out the emmitter mounting face to give yourself the room you need. :wink:

I do feel that that driver will be brilliant in a thrower. The ramping group is nothing short of awesome. I too am interested to know what current it gives out.

Xtar SP2 charger to compliment my i4. $33 + free shipping from Orbtronic.

There goes my memory again! Someone here made a copper replacement pill for thier HD2010, I’d like to do that but don’t have the ability to cut threads. Or many other abilities for that matter! But I may still be able to create a copper plug to go into the aluminum pill from some 1/4” thick 1” wide copper bar stock I have, that under a copper star may give me what I need to get an XM-L2 cranking out some righteous throwpower for a new king-of-the-shelf around here. :wink:

See? This is why I don’t use names…always difficult for me to remember who did what unless someone’s actually crazy enough for me to remember, Thanks JohnnyMac for pointing me at the HD2010 and drivers for it :wink: :slight_smile:

As a flashback, I think JM mentioned that you,Gords,had written up something about this driver…just perhaps not in an HD2010 capacity.

26650 aleto zoomie (large sipik sk68!) working on review now

solarforce p60 for my mini mag mod

Nice looking collection, Dale!

:slight_smile:

I’ve fitted a couple of the 4a ones in keygos m10’s and put one in a c8 upgrade host behind a nw xm-l2 with op reflector. To me its the ultimate c8, nice host, smooth beam, great ui, very versatile.

This driver has two boards, would it fit into a HD2010?

I haven't had a chance to thank some of you for the kind words you've said. You know who you are :) Thanks guys!!

Didn’t see that, was recommended, bought em.

I have sfh, mfh, and BFH if need be! :wink: Will let ya know how that works out.

That is great Johnny!!!

I agree Rick! I think Johnny has too much free time, almost as much as me! Just think how big that flashlight would have to be! How many 18650's would it take???? Oy Vey!

Today I got some free samples from SinkPAD. Not sure if it was mentioned on BLF or not, but you can go to their site, fill out a survey, and choose which format sinkpads you want samples of. I didn't realize they weren't going to be copper :( .
