Greetings,

I've been working on several large builds over the last month or two but potter mindlessly on micro mags while waiting for parts or patience. As always they end up in one of these threads looking for new homes. This batch, like the last, feature a combination of the nichia 219c on noctigon and a single sided FET +7135 driver.


This combination uses direct drive off a high drain 14500 cell and the low forward voltage of the nichia 219c emitter to drive a triple to over 8 amps or a single at 6 amps on turbo at start up. The triple will quickly drop to around 7 amps at 30 seconds and the single will reach 5.4 amps in the same time period. After the initial quick amp drop there is around four to five minutes of run time before the light gives a low voltage warning when the battery reaches 3 volts. The battery is only providing about an amp to the emitters by time the low voltage protection kicks in.

The triple features the advantage of a dual channel driver to create a true firefly mode of about half a lumen (estimated in comparison to a D25A on firefly mode). Additional features include a 90 second turbo timer as a safety to prevent damage to flashlight/flesh, a four mode user interface (Moon-Low-Med-Turbo) with off time memory, a tailcap spring bypass mod to reduce resistance, and carclo narrow spot frosted optics. My micro mags are all built as described here excepting that I use aluminum heatsinks instead of copper. I estimate around 2000 lumens at start up and around 1700 at 30 seconds based on testing by Djozz of BLF. Turbo should still be giving a couple hundred lumens when the low voltage warning flashes.


The single emitter micro is built nearly identically to the one described here. Modes/turbo timer, spring bypass are the same as the triple. Calculated output should be around 900 lumens at start dropping to about 875 at 30 seconds.

This is the single on turbo a yard from the wall.

BTW this is what happened to my bar top when I was checking amp draw after 30 seconds. I had the light tipped slightly towards me to let out some of the heat,hence the uneven scorching.

Price includeing CONUS shipping is $63 each. The black light is sold. International buyers pay additional shipping.


First reply followed by PM gets the light of their choice.

Thanks for looking,

Brian

Hi DellSuperman,

Shipping will cost an additional $11, so your total will be $74. Some answers:

1) The optic can be swapped by removing the bezel and swapping.
2)Emitter change would entail removing the light engine, unsoldering leads, breaking the epoxy bond, reflowing emitters, and then reversing the process.
3)Modes are fixed but can be changed by removing the driver and re-flashing a new firmware.
4) Opening the bezel voids my responsibility to that light, FYI.

Hi nbp,

I recommend the windyfire high drain 14500 for my micromags. They easily beat efest offerings and seem to stand up to the abuse my lights require of them. Send me a PM if you want one of these built for you, it'll cost the same and you get to pick the color (within reason).

Regards,

Brian

Magellan,

That was extra for international shipping to dellsuperman, I don't think your location requires extra shipping $. Will square up after a visit to the PO at the requested time.

Awesome thanks, I might just do that. These are super little lights. I played with one I think you built for member Megatrowned a while back and it was very cool.

I have some Ultrafire 14500s I use a little and they have been fine cells but I don't know if they are quite suitable for a drain light like this one.

Y'all, I have been running Efest for almost 2 years in all mine. They seem to perform well. On high, it will burn wood too!!

Brian, where did you source the Windyfire? I may order some to try out. I just want to make sure I get authentic cells.

Re: Micro mags for sale (nichia 219C)

I was thinking of getting a few new AW cells from RTD anyways. I see they have IMR 14500 with a max discharge of 9A. Those would work pretty well hey?

Mountain Electronics carries the windyfires.

I would certainly favor the IMR over the ultrafires, at the expected amp draw I think the ultrafires would have a short life span.
