DRY 3 x XM-L T6 CW So, I got my hands on one of the best 3 x XM-Ls lights to date. I ordered this on 2/19 and received it 2/29. Ordered through Ric and thew in some extras which was very nice of him! This is the updated 2nd version, not to be confused for the earlier model. Some users have...

Re: 2D Maglite Tri XM-L U2 1C Here are some outdoor shots on the road to Mt. Hamilton! It just started sprinkling when I started taking these shots. High (Sorry this was the first shot I took and didn't notice it was blurry) Med Low Front

Re: 2D Maglite Tri XM-L U2 1C Thanks! I got the heat sink from download @ CPF. The LEDs do center correctly, but when I screw on the head for the reflector it moves out of alignment a bit when it touches the UCL lens. I was thinking about putting some hot glue so it would stop moving since the...

I been planning this build for quite a while now, but never got around to actually building it til now. I got the idea for a triple XM-L from threads over at CPF and decided it would be a cool build to make. I originally planned on using a sandwiched AMC7135 driver to reach 3A and just...

You can use zinc solder and some zinc flux for soldering onto aluminum. CheapBatteryPacks - Product Soldering Supplies

Yay, erns is back! :D

Nice! I see you have a dry host. I just got mines yesterday :beer: +1 Edit: I owe you some rep. Heh.

18650s are bigger than your normal battery. Here's a break down: 18- 18mm diameter 65 - 65mm length 0 - cylindrical Here is a battery: All-Battery.com: Tenergy Li-Ion 18650 Cylindrical 3.7V 2600mAh Button Top Rechargeable Battery w/ PCB Here is a charger for it: All-Battery.com: Tenergy...

Tenergy cells are pretty reliable and not that expensive. Here is one with a protection PCB: All-Battery.com: Tenergy Li-Ion 18650 Cylindrical 3.7V 2600mAh Button Top Rechargeable Battery w/ PCB

Yes, it was drawing near the 450 mA mark at 21V. I don't think many people would really drive these past 12V though, just a fun experiment. :yh:

Re: The Devils Brother. Tri "3x" Red Phlatlight LEDs in a Maglite Build" 9A Ok, I just hooked these up to my test load and did some testing. 2 x 18650s pulls about 2A on high High: 2.25A Medium: 1.87A Low: 340 mA PWM is audible, can't tell if it will flicker when connected to an LED. I'll...

Hey Jerry, I just got my LPM! Just one question, was it suppose to come with an installation CD or can I just download it from you? Unless, there is a hidden compartment in this box lol.

20,000K cool white? Wouldn't that be like a deep blue? Interesting build though!

Hey DTR, I just tried some of these fans and they are amazing. Really powerful for such a small fan. I pushed it all the way to 21V steady and at 22V it blew. Lol, just curious how much power I can push them to.

Where did erns go? I miss his flashlight reviews. :( Anyway, I have a DRY on the way plus a few other stuff :D. Set aside some tax refund money for more lights and lasers!

Cool! I'll be waiting to see you finish your build! :beer:

Lol, sorry I read that wrong. You can't use a starmounted board on this because I already epoxied the small emitter plate that screws down to the main heat sink

Yes, you can buy them on AVNET

Yes, but probably using an emitter mounted on a MCPCB. It's really more easier since I haven't had much luck going a direct mount method. Mounting it directly is better to dissipate the heat away since it's in direct contact with the emitter base, so I'm trading off for convenience. I still...
