Does your tri-XML reflector work in both C and D maglites?

Edit: never mind I see your post where you state it only fits c mags.

Hi download,
Would you offer the service of modding a 7135 driver by slaving extra chips to it for higher than 2.8amps high setting? Maybe closer to a 4amps high setting?
 
simplec6, why don't you diy? It is a simple job only.

I may not be as good at soldering as I need to be. I suppose I could give it a try. I don't even have any 7135 drivers currently. Maybe I will order extras then in case I ruin them
 
This post may help.

Hi beam,

Basically what you need to know is this. The pins on the chips have to be linked one to another. If you look at the chip with the fat single pin facing down that is the ground, the smaller pins from left to right would then be Pos, ground, neg.





You need a wire going from the - leg of one of the chips on the main board to the slave, then a wire from one of the + legs on the main board to a + leg on the slave and then one for a ground. For ground you can use the outer gold rim of the boards, but I use the tail piece for a better connect.

Then once that is done just wire up the main board to the battery like normal.



If you are going to use a slave replacing the factory leads with some thicker wire is a good idea.

Also when you do that in order to keep from tearing the little + LED pad off some thing I ALWAYS do is this.




I strip the + wire a little longer and solder it directly to both the + pad as well as the top end of that chip next to it.


As for the modes and soldering stars it depends on what you want. If you have the shining beam driver the default setting is 3 mode. If you have a variant of this driver from another source its probly 5 mode by default.

If you want to change the mode group on the shiningbeam driver you will first have to unsolder the 2 legs on the controller board that are soldered together, dont detach them from the board, just get the solder out from between them.

Next take a razor knife and cut the electrical path to the board. You can see it under the green. The one you want to cut is the 3rd one. You can see its path just above it running to a hole.

Then make a solder connection from the star you want to the outer rim of the board ( I use a piece of wire)

Star 1= Low, Mid, High,Strobe, Sos. S2= Low, High, Strobe. S3= Low, Mid, High. S4= Low, High.

Here is a picture.

Finally its not a must, however in most cases when using these boards with a slave/s for some reason they require heat sinking to stabilize the current. I usually make sure all the wires will lay perfectly flat so that I can stick all of the 7135 chips to a chunk of copper or aluminum.

If you are only powering the light by 1 li-ion or 3x nimh you may get by without it, but if the voltage is any higher than that you'll need it for sure, other wise at about the 1-2 min mark your current will fall like a rock.

Hello Charles

1 x 8x7135 driver

With registered shipping

Paypal on the way


Thanks
 
I take two Tri-XM-L Mirror Reflectors (50mm x 18mmH). :wave:
 
Hi download! I'm looking at a triple XM-L build. Do you know if 3 XM-Ls mounted on individual 20mm PCBs work with your XM-L tri-flector? Will I have enough room to move the LEDs close enough together to fit into the reflector? Thanks!
 
Triple XM-L reflector is 20mm center to center.
It will fit 3x 20mm star board directly.

Hi there im new to the forums tho not to flashlights, ive just purchased my very first mag light, a 3 D cell variety and i couldnt believe how bad the standard bulb works so instantly decided on modding it, i thought about having a heatsink made or doing it myself but upon seeing these fab heatsinks decided to post here.

Do you still make and sell these?

Im located in southern BC canada.

I will be posting some of my Creations over the next few weeks.

Thanks
