D36 LED Drop - In modules - Red & Green DD available (For Surefire, Pila, Wolf Eyes)

[nailbender]

How much current would an MCE D36 be getting?

Hi

They are wired 2S2P so they are then powered @ 1.4maps.

Thanks

Dave

Hi Bill (wmlafferty)

Your GD+ shipped Friday

Thanks for your patience Bill

Have a Great Fourth

Hi, sorry if I missed it but are you offering a single mode D36 drop in with a P7 led? I want the most lumens possible out of my M3 and I assume that's the best way to go about it. I am a bit out of touch though so if one of the other options is better I am happy to be corrected.

I am not at this time because I can't wire them 2S2P. It is very hard to find a 17mm that produces 2.8 amps of current @ more than 6 volts. I have ordered some of the KD super P7 drivers as they are now 17mm and even though populated on each side I am hoping we can use them. I have not received confirmation they have shipped so it is still at least a week. That is the only 17mm multiple batt. driver I know of. The MC-E can be wired 2S2P and then it is fully powered at 1.4 amps which I have drivers for.

I have plenty of solutions for a P7 at 6 volts or under. I have one member that is running a dummy cell and 2X cr123 primaries

Cheers

Hi Dave,
Cheers for letting me know, i will hold out for the new ones. Can you let me know when you get it worked out please?

what sort of output are youseeing from the other LEDs? I am not up to speed on the current technology so please excuse my ignorance!

Hi Marc

I carry most common leds available so you leave the door open there. As for quad die leds such as the P7 the Cree MC-E in K & M bin is producing about the same lumens as the P7 is producing. TheMC-E allows me to wire it differently so that I have driver options at this time.

Most single die leds are in the same general area of 200 to 300 lumen.

Thanks

Hi Marcoc

You Kbin neutral MC-E shipped today.

Thanks

Does this module only work with CR123's in the Pila GL4? I was hoping to use this set-up using two Pila 600P's.

Hi Dudemar

I am ignorant when it comes to that batt. tell me a little about it. The D36 are set up to use rechargables up to 3 li ions or 14 volts. That is why I don't have many with levels because of the lack of high voltage drivers with levels. I hope to have this solved in a couple of weeks but if you can do with one level then you are good to 14 volts.

OK I looked up the pila 600P and since it is a 4.2 max batt. yes these drop ins will work @8.4volts.

Hi All

I have put two new neutral binned MC-E in stock for the neutral tinted fans

They are KF5 bin 5B tint 4300k
and KE4 bin 4C tint 4500K

These join the ranks of our cool white & warm whites that we already had.

Thanks

So, does that mean you have or will have drivers available to push more than 1.4A to an MC-E? I would be interested in an warm MC-E if the drive current was higher (hi/low would be good too).

I have drivers that will push the MC-e @ 2.5amps now but only up to 6 volts. That is why I wire the D-36 modules 2S2P which only requires 1/2 the amperage but twice the voltage. This means that @ 1.4amps these are being run at full power but will take at least two rechargables and preferably 3 li ions. When wired 2S2P it takes @ least 7.2 volts.

I will have some new drivers that are being modded right now but could be at least 2 - 3 weeks before I get them. Again these will run @ 1.4 amps so that means a MC-E wored 2s2p but these will have probably 3 levels but at least 2 levels.

I have not found a high amperage driver that will accommodate multiple batts for the P7 and still only 17mm in form factor.

My wish is a warm MC-E D36 (WE M90) to be hi/low, using 2 or 3 li-ions and push 2.5A to the emitter on high. I guess I will wait to see what you get in.

Hi

Just let me know if I can help you when you are ready. The MC-E will have to be wired 2S2P unless someone in the near future comes out with a high voltage driver in 17MM form. The MC-E is made to be wired 3 ways Parallel @2.8amps and 3.6vin - 2S2P @1.4 amps with a 7.2vin and series @700ma with a 12.8 to 14 vin depending on VF of led. Any of these configs give full power to the LED.

Here is a good chart for MC-E

Will the MC-E work in a Surefiire M4 with 2 Pila 3.6 volt batteries?

It should, it is on the lower limits of wiring it 2S2P, three or four cells with work better. I use 2 x 18650 all the time but they have stay charged up properly.

Hi Brian

I am sorry I had trouble getting the length right for the Turbo head but have it now and it has shipped.

Sorry for the delay

Dave

[nailbender]

I have a few

Red Diamond Dragon one level

Green Diamond Dragon one level

I am running these @1.4 amps they are very bright. I was quite surprised at the brightness of these colored DD.

Thanks

Hi James (depusm12)

I received your M3 head today I try to get the R2 installed tomorrow and mailed back on Wed.

Thanks

Nailbender,
I received my sst-50 D36 drop in today and i am very impressed with the output from this module! Thanks for all your help Dave, this is the best purchase i've made in a long time.

Hi Brian

I am glad you are pleased with this. I worried over this one simply since I had not built many for a Cabelas Turbo Head. I expressly bought that size modules for that head since my regular modules won't fit that turbo head. I am glad I got the length right for your L2, that was what I was worried about was getting the right length.

Have a great week Brian

Hi,
I'm really excited about these drop-ins!

Planning on an MC-E in the warmest tint you have. HOw far from the wall was the light in the beamshot (first post)? I'm thinking I would like this adjusted for a little bit more flood if that's possible.

It should, it is on the lower limits of wiring it 2S2P, three or four cells with work better. I use 2 x 18650 all the time but they have stay charged up properly.

There's a few different configurations I'm planning on trying this in, and was hoping to run 2x18650 in one of them. Can you give a rough idea of how long you let this run before recharging?

The other potential ways I'm considering powering this are:
3x or 4x 123a li primary
3x or 4x 16340 li-ion

From what I've read here, doesn't seem like there should be any trouble with these?

thanks!

Hi Evan

The distance from the wall is about 10 feet. I can adjust it towards flood a bit but I have to be careful are else the dreaded doughnut hole will appear.

There is no problem using any of the listed battery configs.

Depending on the flashlight you are running them in heat will be more of a problem than runtime will be with two 18650 it will run a long time. The driver is fairly efficient when running 2 x 18650

the warmest tint I have is the JE6 which I am sure you will be happy with.

Thanks

Dave

Hi Evan

Your warm white JE6 MC-E has shipped along with your D26 diamond dragon.

thanks and have a great weekend

do you ship these to canada?
if so how much more will it be to do so?

Hi

Yes I ship world wide, Israel and Russia last week so Canada is not a problem.

PM sent on shipping

Thanks
