Inova T2



Left Mag Mod 4 X Luxeon V, Right Inova T2...



Ok, a couples months later of use this magmod was update with 4 Luxeon K2 Pw14, four 17mm reflector and a mineral glass, very throw by the way.

Some Pics



First i put the K2 in the stars but the tailcap dont fit right





I take out the stars and glued with some Artic Ceramic Lumina



The two Fatman inside, i have to find a better way to put in



This mag was a 5D some time ago, i cut to hold inside 4 18650 2 by side



Here you can see the size

awesome! this is the mod I want to do... 4 LuxV... i'm still trying to figure out battery options and driving options...

what board are you using? looking forward to further pics of your light! VERY interested!

ps

what optics/reflectors are you using?

[IsaacHayes]

Nice! I see you're almost done! What did you end up using for optics/etc?

[Rommul]

Whats your battery config?

I finish today the carrier to the 4 18650 Ion, with this bateries i suppose have 1.5 Hours runtime time, with 5D Alkalines like 4 Hours and with rechargables D 10000 mha 3 Hours, i have to test that when i finish the Mod, i am runing the Luxeon with a Fatman for two Luxeon in serie and i am using 4 Lens 15°. I find in a store close to my house a cheap key flashligh with a good optic, i post pics later, that is good option to test to...

Hi Isaac, i am using Lens, but maybe i use optics too, i want to test i keep with the best option...

[Changchung]

Whats your battery config?

I have this two option to use, i dont cut the Maglite...



Long run time with the D Bateries but high weight, ligh weight with Ion but less run time...

[IsaacHayes]

Aren't those D batteries 5,000 not 50,000 mah! Also, did you know there are 11,000 mah D batteries out too?

I'm not sure what you mean by "lens". Lens is the front glass of a flashlight. A reflector is metal cone, and you know what an optic is. Not sure what you are using.. I will find out when you post pictures!

Keep up the good work!!

Cool thanks for the response.

It would be cool if you had a USL type adapter that would eliminate the magswitch (don't have prob with the switch it just takes up so much space).

Those are powerizer C cells (I assume since they are rated at 5000mah).

Much better to carry 5C's in a 4d than to lug a 5D mag around.

Edit to change typo

C cells rated at 500mah?? shouldnt they be like 5000mah??

Is 5 D 10000 mah each...

My bad.

I am a pretty big guy and I don't like carrying my 4D around at all. I can't imagine carrying a 5D

[Changchung]

Some updates pics, soon beamshoots...

[jar3ds]

simply amazing! I love this mod so much... I can't wait to start my own! What kind of run times do you get with it ? Thanks for sharing and inspiring!

[DUQ]

Thats crazy. Nice work.

[Changchung]

Thanks... Let me do the run time test and i post it...

what electronics are you using in this puppy? and take your time on the runtime test... i can't wait to start building... i keep getting my attention moved to other projects

I think he mentioned using two Fatman drivers driving two Lux Vs in series each.

I've been waiting to build one of these excellent lights for some time now. The only part I still need is George's new Fatflex driver. I can't see using this without dimming capability and I don't really like the external pot option as much as the single button menu like the nFlex.

I was planning one using two Li-ion 'D's or two of AW's protected li-ion 'C's if they are available when the Fatflex comes out.

Excellent work, Changchung. It's amazing that even in your close-up beamshot that the beams all blend together. It looks like one emitter source.

[Changchung]

Thanks my friend, that is right, the light look like a single INCREDIBLE Led... I have a doubt about the Fatflex, this circuit is like the fatman but with dimmer? or is a driver who can i connect to my Fatman to do this feature???

Beamshot coming soon...

Changchung, if you use a thinner HS you can go with IMS20 or McR20 which produce a much tighter beam and nicer spill.

As for putting 2x fatman inside a MagD it's no problem at all. You can do the 180 degree opposite each other or if you have the patience double stack and provide sufficient heatsink on the opposite ends.

I manage to put 2x fatman and 1x nFlex inside a MagD head (stock) in the Sephiroth a while back using the same method mentioned above.

Hi, thanks, i think for the moment leave this mod like that, i receive this HS for free, here, were i live is not easy find something like that, the cuter job take me around 2 months in find the right place to do it, and charge me a lot...

The light throw what i have now is very well, better than before.
I dont know how you fit 3 booster, one push botton and one pot, you I try to put a dual pot for the 2 Fatman and i dont find a secure and safe way.

For the moment i am very happy with this new Magmod, but... If a the opportunity to buy one from you be great... You are the best, i am looking all your jobs for long time ago... Thanks for be there for help us...
