Yes'sir, everything between 1x 16340 and 2x 26650's!
I wonder what the run times would be with two 26500's.
I'll have to get myself an FM body for two of those.

A beamshot comparison between the following modules:
Beamshots were taken at 6 feet. The exposure setting was set to the Malkoff M31W and subsequently held constant.
- Malkoff M31W (which actually uses a neutral XP-G)
- Moddoo Direct Drive XP-G triple
- Moddoo Regulated 1100 'neutral' 3-mode triple.

Dan (ElectronGuru),
I recently purchased a V3 Triple Neutral. I have been using it in a bored M2 Host with a AW 18650-2600 cell. Recently my new AW IMR16340 cells showed up. I plugged them in quickly, prior to charging, to see if there was a noticeable difference in brightness between the 1000 lumen and the 750 I was used to, there was. I quickly changed out the cells, so I could charge the new IMR cells, I put the 18650 back in. The light would not turn on. I have had this problem before, when the light first arrived to me it would not turn on. I had to switch out the 18650 that was in the host with the "spare" that shipped with it and it turned on fine. I then swapped out the "spare" battery with the one that I thought was dead (that shipped in the host) and it too worked. I have now tried every 18650 cell I have. They are all AW's, 5 of the older 2200 mAh and the two 2600 mAh I ordered with the light. I have tried several of my AW 17670's as well, nothing. It wont light up at all on a single Lion cell. When I put the 2 X IMR 16340 back in I get like 30 lumens of light. I have tried charging the cells, disassembling, everything. Im a little worried that something went .

Edit: Dan has contacted me and is working to fix this problem. Very happy with the service. Will update when all is bright again!
I had pretty much the exact same problem with my neutral last night! Changed from a 2-cell to a 1-cell config, hit the button, then nothing with 18650's. With 2 cells it stayed on one level - 30-40 lumens or so. But Dan is the Man - Great customer service. I think we'll be taken care of.

Shipping into Canada SUCKS! I love how you can ship something form Helena Montana to Calgary Alberta (376mi) for $35 but from Helena Montana to New York New York (2285mi) is $7. DAH!...

my V3 Triple is also not working - probably my fault though.
There was a communication issue with a non-flashaholic regarding the cell direction. :fail:Can you tell us what happened?
That is too generous, if I'm understanding you correctly.We will replace these Drop-ins ASAP.
These electronics do not have reverse polarity protection.
The issues a few people have had, point to a reverse polarity failure.
We will replace these Drop-ins ASAP.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: THESE V3 TRIPLES DO NOT HAVE REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION. INSTALLING CELLS BACKWARDS WILL DAMAGE THE ELECTRONICS.
Do all versions of your triple xpg (like the single mode regulated) not have reverse polarity protection or is it just with the recent batch of 3mode triples?
Can you elaborate on such a setup, and if its been proven to work. Thanks!
