    Sold/Expired [2017-12-10] Garage sale: FiveMega Hosts - Custom parts [Europe based - US shipping]

    Hi fellow flashaholics! I'm cleaning out some stuff that I do not have any plans with anymore, so grab them while you can :). This topic will be refilled with some more parts during the next few weeks. Pretty much all parts are spares from projects which are not continued anymore. INFORMATION...

    33mm, 25A, 35V, adjustable LED driver - fits D-cell tubes! - thermally protected

    Not been here for years actually, and I am going to clean out some parts of project that I will not finish. Was quickly browsing this part of the forums, and saw this topic. Your driver, CBT140, maglite, massive heatsink and fivemega head are parts that I will keep to finish the project...

    MT-G2 hotspot artifact

    What you are discribing sounds as an LED which is moved too far back in the reflector --> out of focus. The base of the PCB of the MTG-2 should be at the same depth as the base of the LED which it is replacing. I do not know your host, but playing around with MT-G2's, I know that many...

    Setting out to do my first 2D Mag mod with modern-day parts. Need help/input!

    I would try to source DerWichtel 3LED drop-in / heatsink + Reflector holder. It has larger reflectors (23mm, maximum size for triple) for better throw :).

    SST-50 direct drive question

    That, and the higher Vf vs a XM-L(2) with a 16340 cell will never produce 5A in direct drive. Well, at least not for long (which makes them ideal for direct drive really, because it will always be safe). If you can upgrade to 18350 cell that would help :)

    BD01 with 7135 x 12: 4.2A

    To be honest, when you not compare the 2.8A vs the 4.2A version side by side, it will be hard to spot a big difference :). I do not know this light/host, but if it is on an aluminium PCB, not directly soldered to copper, the increase in current by 50% might not yield any higher output anyway...

    Sold/Expired FS/ Copper SinkPad mcpcb. XH-70, XHP-50, XM-L2, XP-G2, XP-L 20,16,10mm...

    Thanks for the reply. If the picture is correct, then your Maelstrom is indeed slightly more green than the S3 in my foursevens mini. Have subscribed to this thread, will order in the near future :).

    How are the tints on the XM-L2 U3 and XP-G2 S3 bins? I have an XP-G S3 in my Foursevens MiNi 123 Ti, but it has a greenish tint. Not that it really matters in most cases, but a nice tint would be preferred ofcourse :).

    Thermal Adhesive question?

    You have two types of adhesive, the silver based (silver colored) and the aluminium oxide based (white color). The Alumium oxide based adhesive can be used as a potting compound as it is non-capacitive and non-conductive. In retail price they to not differ a lot. I mainly use the silver...

    Cree SC5 platform, XHP LED's

    Thanks vestureofblood for the in depth feedback! Not the news I was wanting to hear, I'd rather had heard that the weird looking dome on the LED was doing its job and there was no donut :D :P. Well, we'll see. Have two coming my way at this moment and a smooth reflector that works beautifully...

    Cree SC5 platform, XHP LED's

    Have you tried to change the focus Thijsco? Or is this the best result you got from the led/ reflector combo?
