    Couple of Gladius mod questions

    Runtimes are the same because the drivers are not modded. Prefer the XM-L mod because it's brighter and more floody, perfect for home use. For XM-L modded Gladius beamshots see Moonshadow's pics at http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?272611-XP-G-modded-Gladius. The optics used...

    XP-G modded Gladius

    Thanks for the beam shots. My XM-L mod has the same beam pattern but with "Cree rings" on a white wall since I used a smooth reflector from an R2 drop in. No Cree rings at distances of 6 feet or more. The smooth reflector throws a bit more but not noticeable unless you compare it side by side...

    Gladius XM-L mod observations.

    Followed the mod details posted by Samuel in http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/...d.php?t=190761 and instead of the Q5 I tried the XR-E R2, then the XP-G R5 and now the XM-L T6. The R2 mod using an R2 smooth reflector from DX was the farthest throwing of the three emitters above and looks 2...

    Another P60 drop in DIY

    Thanks info. Nice current, very near the 1.5A optimum. What's the voltage at 1.43 A or what battery did you use?

    Another P60 drop in DIY

    No light meter here, just a visual observation specifically about KD's XPE empty pill I bought for my DIY R5 drop in which looks exactly like the one used in the first post.

    Another P60 drop in DIY

    @kosPap - Fixed the screw down height focusing problem by not having any wire insulation resting on the R5 star/PCB. The 2 small half round cutouts on the R5 star/PCB allow just enough wire insulation left so the soldered wires to the emitter pads do not short to the brass pill. Made an...

    driver for a xpg r5 emitter

    Thanks for the replies TorchBoy and Techjunkie. I think I'll stick with DX's 3-18v 1.2A driver at http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.26110 because it has a wider voltage range and cheaper than http://www.kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=9912

    driver for a xpg r5 emitter

    Correct. We need to have the link to shorten the search time. Yes, the LED's Vf affects the AMC7135's performance but I want to use an XPG R5 and not use an SSC P4 just to optimize the driver's performance. Also looking for a single mode 1.5A driver for the R5 when using 1x18650 and...

    driver for a xpg r5 emitter

    Thanks for sharing, much appreciated. To bad I'm in the PI so it's not cheap to buy just the sense resistor from DigiKey. What's the value of the R82 sense resistor? Maybe I can buy a similar one locally. What's the link to the KD sku S008848 buck driver? KD's link is different from its sku...

    driver for a xpg r5 emitter

    Using the 7882 for my L2m. I get up to 1.6A only from a Trustfire black and red 3.7v unprotected 16340 880 maH battery or an Ultrafire grey 16340 protected 3.7v 880 maH battery. If I adjust it for 1.5A drain from the tailcap, it overheats in 5 mins. I now adjusted it to 1A drain from the...

    XP-G modded Gladius

    Thanks for sharing your mod info. With the heat that the R5 produces, I opted to use an aluminum XPG R5 OP reflector taken from a DX XPG R5 drop in and grinded down so the bezel would fully close without a gap. The mod is worth it, the R2 hotspot was too small and the huge R5 hotspot is what I...

    Best Mod with Aspheric lense to create a super thrower?

    Two protected 16340s won't fit unless you cut the drop-in spring and/or tailcap battery spring. If you do, you won't be able to use a 18650, 2 unprotected 16340s or 2 CR123As.

    Various Flashlights FORWARD Clickie Mods

    I have used this switch in my forward clicky mods for my other SolarForce L2m with stock tailcap switch, Piritlight SG-L8, Ultrafire WF-008 and Ultrafire WF-502B flashlights, including a "fake" SolarForce L2m tailstanding switch forward clicky mod I did for a friend. Many thanks kosPap for...

    Cree Q5 in a Gladius

    Used the Gladius' aluminum reflector spacer or tubing cover shown in the third pic of the first post in this thread so that the R2's smooth reflector would be easier to center while closing the bezel. Also grinded the smooth reflector's opening two weeks ago so the bezel would fully close...

    Gladius tail

    Many thanks for the pics, much appreciated! I put white Silicone thermal grease in the Gladius body slot/channel so that when the tailcap pin is inside, the grease provides electrical contact too. Any conductive grease will prevent intermittent operation but one needs to put grease in the body...

    Overdriving the Cree R2 @ 1400mA??

    We use aluminum foil tape for roofs sometimes called roof flashing tape (Sello brand from New Zealand). It's as wide as duct tape but made of aluminum. Just cut to about 7 inches and about the same width as the flat portion of the R2 drop in reflector. Peel off tape backing and stick aluminum...

    Gladius P4 Issues

    My SSC P4 from DX is also warmer than the original Luxeon III in my Gladius which had a a very slight greenish tint when at its lowest setting. The AW 14670 3.7 volt batteries will fry the Gladius circuit sooner or later. Still looking for the post and another website stating that around 7v is...
