vinhnguyen54 D26 P60 Dropn Ins All Copper Bonded PCBs even XP-G2s, MT-G2 ;-)

[vinhnguyen54]

Got a box of drop ins.... will inspect and test today/tonight. ETA on the others?
also how many mA can I run through the stock SF tail caps?
And thank you for running such a smooth service.

I don't know anything about surefire tailcaps but I havnt gotten any problem running the cheaper soalar force 3A rated tailcaps up to 5A.

[vinhnguyen54]

So at 3A it should throw even better. Nice!

The new thick copper PCB can take 3.5A with XPE2

Got my xml dropins today. Wow. Exactly what i was looking for. Somehow brighter than i was expecting. Great doin business with you.

[psychbeat]

I had Vinh swap some XPE2 4000K emitters into a few of my lights &
I just had to post & let everyone know that the tint is AWESOME. Not too yellow or orange.
It's like a slightly warmer 219 & I actually prefer it to the 219.

Oh yeah and the throw is great even in my quad & mini123

[vinhnguyen54]

Nice :-)

How long can I stay on high mode with a 18650 and a drop-in XM-L2 6500K 4.5mA?

Until the light is too hot to hold with bare skin. Low long really depends on how big your host is and the surrounding temperature.

[DAN92]

vinh,


Thank you for the answer, I use a 6P bored (Oveready).

[vinhnguyen54]

Tightly wrapped with AL foil I would say you can run it for 3-4 minutes during room temperature. Please test to be sure. I wouldn't worry too much abotu the componets burning up as it's hard for them too. I am more concerned with the light burning you.

vinh,

[DAN92]

I'll stay a very short time on high mode, then move on medium.

Sure but likew I said DO not worry too much abotu hurtign the LED or electronics. They are not that easily damaged as others might think.

[DAN92]

Okay, It is clear that your drop-in are quality.

Thanks vinh'.

And if any of my drop ins ever break just contact me and I will help you with it. Noone should ever feel like they bought a crappy product. But if they do a refund is always available.

Vinh - can you get xml2 s6 7a2 high cri?

If you can find where they sell it I can get it for yah.

they have them at mouser, but the wait is like 14 weeks lol.

[vinhnguyen54]

If you order from me. Copper PCB and Solder filled is done by default. You do not need to ask for it. Unless you prefer aluminum PCB and no solder fill to cut down on weight :-P, then do let me know. :-)

Hey Boss did you get my e mail with the final 2 drop ins, from my last order? "one speeds"

I have an XM-L S6 7a2 Hi CRI (first XM-L version) and I'm not all that taken with it. It's very warm, a bit murky with none of the clarity of the 219 and seems under driven to me. On the other hand, the XM-L2, 5000K @ 3.6A in a LOP. reflector has the most beautiful tint I've ever seen, lots of light and a great Moonlight mode and, of course, it's made by Vinh. I'm sure one of the above mentioned XM-L2's would give you more joy! Maybe one at 4000K, if Vinh has any left.

I don't think that the CRI. of the XM-L is any different to the standard warm XM-L; to these 'old' eyes, anyway and it is redish, moreso than a 6P incan, in fact.

Good Luck!

I have 2 drop-ins with the S6 7A2 3200K 90CRI emitter; a D26 and a D36, and they're right up there with my favorites. I love the tint! Of course, I had my old eyes rejuvenated with new lenses recently, and see things more clearly.

IIRC, there's a new XM-L2 Hi CRI emitter coming soon.

[vinhnguyen54]

Thanks for the info! :-)

I agree that it does look a bit orange - but when I shine it at my wood floors and objects with a broad range of colors (paintings on wall etc) I can tell the colors have more depth and appear to be "true"

its really not that huge of a difference.... its just kind of cool to have one in my collection

but of course nothing can come close to a nice wa1185 or osram 64458 with 100 cri

... 4500K ...

Yes, I'd like an XM-L2 4500K, LOP reflector, 1250mA max drive current, 2.7-6v driver, UI = HML (+memory), fully potted, for a SolarForce host.

Regular "low", not moonlight "lowlow".

Needs to be able to run on 1x 18650 Li-Ion (3.7-4.2v) OR 2x CR123A (6v).

Please let me know when this will be available & when to pay ....

Thanks!

[vinhnguyen54]

Pay whenever you want :-) The LEDs will probably be here on Wednesday.
