    How often do you recharge your 18650?

    Excellent advice! Nikon advise that their Li-Ion cells will give better results and have longer lifespans if charged at 40% - For us that's 3.84V. I have stuck by this advise, charging at about 40% the two 7.4V cells in my camera's pack and got 6 years of good life where 4 years is about the norm.

    Hi Matt, As others have said, look after yourself. Perhaps when you have spent time away from the project you may want to consider some V1 sales for any disappointed members. The V1 is superb, beautifully built and something you can be enormously proud of! Take Care, Sparky (Australia).

    Re: vinhnguyen54 D26 P60 Dropn Ins All Copper Bonded PCBs even XP-G2s, MT-G2 ;-) On high in a Cryos head, it gets pretty hot after 5 min. but still able to be held when it gets any hotter, I step down! Actually, for most tasks medium is plenty of light and it is never more than comfortably...

    Re: vinhnguyen54 D26 P60 Dropn Ins All Copper Bonded PCBs even XP-G2s, MT-G2 ;-) Arrived today XP-G2 Drop-in at 3.4A, on thick copper PCB in a new smooth reflector.

    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    Vinh's XP-G2 @ 3.42A. on thick copper PCB. 4mode, new XP-G2 specific smooth reflector. For a bored C2 with a McClicky. Now, this should really 'rock'. The 4 mode will be good as it has moonlight, low, med., high with memory.

    Re: vinhnguyen54 D26 P60 Dropn Ins All Copper Bonded PCBs even XP-G2s, MT-G2 ;-) If you haven't done so, give consideration to using an O/R zero resistance tail assembly - They are easy to install, really work and are good to over 20A.

    *Very* Compact 1x18650/2xCR123A, Forward Clicky, Wide Output Range

    An Oveready TL50 (or Fivemega 18500) in conjunction with an O/R zero resistance shorty tailcap will take an 18650 nicely in a small and very useful package. Good Luck!

    Tell me what you know!

    Starting over and getting it all together in one Flashlight, I would... 1.) Get a bored 6P (18650) from Oveready with a McClicky tail cap. 2.) Drop in a Vinhngyuen XM-L2 emitter @ 5000K. driven at 3A. in an LOP reflector, with his new 4 level driver: Moon, low., med., high. & that should keep...

    WTS: P60 Drop in Light Engine

    Re: vinhnguyen54 D26 P60 Dropn Ins All Copper Bonded PCBs even XP-G2s, MT-G2 ;-) The 6P will vary in size and seem to have consistently got bigger over the years. I have a couple of old bodies that have a small gap, so I attached an S/F lanyard ring to the bezels and that solved the gap...

    You can make a pocket friendly XP-E2 @300Lu. with one of Vinh's drop-ins in a Fivemega 18500 chassis on thick copper PCB. Driven (safely) at 2.8A you will have in excess of 300Lu. in the color temp. of your choosing and he now has a smooth reflector that is XP-E2 specific and produces a perfect...
