5W kit for 2D

[Stingray]

I was checking out the LED Lenser line of lights and came across this product at the same site. A 5W kit for a mag 2D.

Wow; a 5W drop-in for a 2D Mag. Someone finally did it.

I wonder if it's resistored, regulated or DD.

 

[Stingray]

I dunno, I think their 1 watt drop in is DD acording to Craig's site.

I evaluated the Diamond 3 watt drop-in, not the 1 watt or the 5 watt.
My page about the Diamond 3 watt drop-in is right here if anybody is interested.

 

[markdi]

the 5 watt drop in would have a boost circuit in it right ?
It could not be direct drive on 3 volts

 

[tylerdurden]

It's probably direct drive or resistored, it comes with a 3x123 adapter.

 

[LEDagent]

For that price i think you might as well buy a Streamlight TL-3 or a similar 3x123 5W LED Flashlight. (You will miss the focusing aspect though)

 

[LEDagent]

Or the Surefire L5...spend 80 or so more dollars and you got a similar product that is regulated and runs on 2x123 (and much better quality).

Started reading this thread and thought great I`ve a 3D maglite begging to be modded and fancied one of the 3 watt mods. Regrettably they want £26 uk/$40ish for postage for something that shouldn`t cost $10 to post. Sigh

The L3 diamond module is very poorly designed from a thermal management standpoint - according to Craig's measurements, the module reaches about 100C after 20 minutes - the junction temperature is at LEAST 40C higher than that - so after 20 minutes the junction temperature has exceeded maximum specifications - meaning light output will diminish, and LED life will be drastically reduced.

Who wants a 5 watt that big????? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif Nuwai has plenty of models with 3 123's real small ( I reviewd several). If it really worked off 2 D cells it would be cool. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon23.gif Nuwai lights are also way cheaper than $100. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

"100,000 hour"
I thought 5W were 1000-5000 hours???

 

[NikolaTesla]

5 watt? 100,000 hours? Lets see!!!
Turn your 5 watt on for a year (8000 hours) and tell me if it still lights. I have a voltage indicator panel thats been on for 13 years with the small old 3 mm LED's and not one has burned out- plugged in and on for 13 YEARS!

IMHO, that would only be interesting if it actually ran of the two D-cells. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

 

[markdi]

Ya I hoped it ran on 2 D cells
