Novatac & HDS EDC SSC P7 D2Flex Mods

[darkzero]

I've been wanting to revisit the HDS P7 mod I did here using a driver that will drive the P7 sufficiently. So here they are using D2Flex drivers in two not so common hosts.







-Novatac EDC U60Military
-SSC P7 DSWOI
-Taskled D2Flex PWM direct drive controller
-Modified & sputtered McR-20
-UCL glass
-Glow oring
-2.7A with AW IMR16340
-3.1A with AW 17670











-HDS EDC U60 black anodized by Laser
-SSC P7 (bin unknown)
-Taskled D2Flex PWM driect drive controller
-Modified & sputtered McR-20
-0.2" aluminum heatsink
-Glow oring














Hope the owners enjoy!

Your the best Will. Nice to know that when I mess things up a specialist like you is there and willing to clean things up.

Looking forward to receive mine

[darkzero]

Thanks fellas.

Toby - I'm not good with beamshots but ok, I'll take some of the Novatac before it sells (if it sells).

Benny - Not sure what the runtime is on a IMR16340 but with my experiences, one IMR16340 has a short runtime with high powered LED lights running on high. Great battery but the runtime sucks IMO.

dutchguy2 - It was a pleasure & I enjoy doing repairs aside from mods. Will ship tomorrow.

Beautiful work. What do you use around the driver? Is that epoxy or what??

[bluecrow76]

Yeah... that's how I saw it first was your sale thread. I wish I had that kind of money! I actually have all the parts except for a spare NT, so it looks like its off to the WTB forum!

[toby_pra]

Will, i think it will sell for sure!

What's the output in lumens?

[darkzero]

What's the output in lumens?

For the Novatac with the DSWOI:

I don't have a way or measuring lumens but I'm guessing it would be around 300-400 lumens with a IMR16340 or a 17670? Output will drop as the battery depletes.

I'm sure I can safely say that this is the brightest Novatac/HDS to date!

Outstanding work, as always

Where is there information about the D2Flex drivers? OK, just found it and read up on it. Nice. Sounds fine.

Very nice and very clean mod Will, like always.
However it's not clear to me how you get access to the different levels of the D2Flex driver?

[toby_pra]

Will have you also modded a HDS / Novatac with a MC-E yet?

If so, how is the beam, is there a donut?

Hello Will!

Now i have owned one of these Mods made by you.

Ist an awesome light and an awesome mod! Cant believe how bright a
Novatac could be...

The only thing i would like to change is the UI of the D2flex buoght. Now
i tried several options decribed in the manual to change the UI but noone works. The problem is, the i only could dim at the moment. No several brightness levels...

Is there a way to reset the UI or easy way to change the UI?

Is there perhaps something worng with the board, because nothing i tried helps...?

[darkzero]

Hello Toby,

Unfortunately there is no master reset, wish there was. PM replied.

[tx101]

Once in the menu mode, option 10 will give you "factory reset"

Oh nice, not sure why I thought that & why I never noticed that in the manual before. Thanks.

Anyways, Toby has one of the ones I made with a D2DIM & is why the the D2Flex commands didn't work.

The D2DIM board works great and everything is fine, i am glad that
it works and i am able to program the brightness levels...
