Levels???

I'd say that about sums it up, Kevin.

The more important question is - when can we buy one? :devil:

Woohoo!!!! :twothumbs:bow:

Damn still too many issues. Doesn't work reliability. :-(

The problem is 2*Lion is too little voltage for regulation so low volateg protection kicks in. 3* Li-ion is too much voltage and this will cook the LED in the long run. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh We need about 10-11V input voltage LOL

Try it with 3x LiFePO4 cells.

I don't have those LOL

What is the optimum recommended current for the MT-G2?

Maybe if the driver limits it to no more than 5A, then 2 li-ions would have enough voltage to power it in regulation?

6V I think

There are 3 flavors; 6V(3A), 9V(2A) and 36V(0.5A).

Would a MT-G2 be brighter than a triple p60 XP-G2 driven @ max amps? I know the MT-G2 puts out 2000 lumens otf.
Thanks so much,
L. Fred

I have both, courtesy of Vinh, and yes the MT-G2 is brighter. It also gets much hotter much faster.

May be the 9V version would work good with my 3*lion driver

The 9V gets you as many lumens at 2A as the 6V does at 3A.

The 9V gets you as many lumens at 2A as the 6V does at 3A.

of course 9*2=18W, 6*3= 18W and 36*.5=18W too

Sweet!

Ok - time to start making the sun shine.



I'll wait here while you work out the last of the bugs.

Damn, I just bought 4 IMR18350's. I'll wait a few days and see if a driver pops up before I send them back.

They are always useful to keep in stock. I wouldn't send them back personally.

I'm really happy with that XPE2 you did up for me. What's a good drive level for XML2 for high output but decent runtime and thermally able to run continuously, about 2.5 A?

2A in a P60 host. 2.5A is still a bit much.

It sucks that MTG2 requires a deep reflector, i want a 4*MTG2 blaster. Hell i want an 8*MTG2 light

I had a XML2 mule done @ 1.5A by Vihn I'm running continuous on a HexLamp. On high it reaches a max of 108 degs. F and holds. Just "warm" and plenty bright on Med for close detailed work. :thumbsup:
