Let´s go military - 1D now with 4xMC-E + 2xR2 and one SST-90

[mash.m]

hi,

i wan to show you my new 1D military host done by jo@britelumens. the anodize quality is perfect and hard to lathe.
my mod includes four mc-e neutral white from cutter, one cool-white mc-e and two r2 for the center filling. a selfmade heatsink and seven mcr-16xr reflectors by the shoppe.
i used a two setp driver to get the fully power. first setp is a little dx boost driver so i get 10volts for the seceond step. second step is a five mode driver from kaidomain. removed the org fet that only drive 2.8amps and replace it with a logic-level fet that can drive up to 50 amps. the gate voltage is about 8 volts, so i get the lowest possible resistance. the power for the emitters goes only through the fet not through the little drivers. i think i will replace the 5 mode driver with a d2flex cause i like the uinterface.
the flashlight is driven by one lion d cell from saft. these are capable for 11 amps continous discharge and up to 21 amps pulsed. with a fresh charged cell a get a little more then 11 amps.
i think this flashlight is very efficient, cause there are 22 cree emitters 😉

here now some pictures:

and a comparaion with daylight:

thanks for looking,

markus

Hi Markus,

This looks very cool. Any idea on the run times, and is this brighter than the purple torch you made previously?

Me like :twothumbs:twothumbs:twothumbs

How many lumens are you getting out of that lightsabre ?

Hi,

just did another Mod to it, permanent glowing of all emitters.

I will do Some Tests later. Then i can Figuren out how man Lumens IT will be.
Also the runtime.

Looks so hot.I want to see some outdoor beamshots please.:naughty:

How much whould it cost to do that with my 1D?

I would also like to see some outdoor beamshots.

Out of curiosity, why didn't you put the R2's in smooth reflectors? They almost seem useless with OP reflectors when compared with all of the MC-E's. Actually, something aspheric would be neat also...

hi,

if you wish i can mod your host. you can pm me 😗
problem are the expensive reflectors. there are some cheap out from dx, but then only five will fit in the stock host.

hi,

beamshots will follow next days.

the r2´s are to fill up the donat-hole that the mc-e produce with the shoppe reflectors. with the two r2´s i can´t see a hole in the middle. the mcr-16xr are produced to work best with the q5/r2...

Nice build!

How long can you run for on high without it melting into molten aluminum 🙂

Those glowing emitters are getting 100 microamps (.1 milliamp) each? I never knew LEDs would glow at all with such a small current flowing through them. So they stay glowing "permanently" by giving them a constant source of 100 uA? Very cool!

Hi Marcus.
Ich denke das ist sehr schick, nicht wa ?
I like it a lot, just getting in to the modding scene myself, but think you've done very well there, can't wait for the outside beam shots.

+1 A single P7 driven at 2.8Amps in a 1xD gets hard to hold after 10minutes or so - I can't imagine how this might get :naughty:

Re: Let´s go military - 1D with 5xMC-E + 2xR2

hi,

no, all emitters together get 0,1mA. they stay always on when you insert the battery. if you calculate then they draw 800mA per year....

Re: Let´s go military - 1D with 5xMC-E + 2xR2

i know this. i get hot at high level after 5 minutes or so, but this is ok. i need the high mode only for short time. the med and low are more practikable.
i still hope that my d2flex arrive shortly, so i have 5 brightness modes.

Awesome mod...these mods gets brighter from day to day...

Re: Let´s go military - 1D with 5xMC-E + 2xR2

I'd love to see how you drive all those emitters, and still fit it behind the heatsink!!

Great Job!

nice build.good job :thumbsup:

what battery you use? ma/h?
