Cree recently raised XPG max current rating to 1.5 Amp, stated up to 493 lumens @ 1.5A. http://74.125.93.132/search?q=cache:...&ct=clnk&gl=us

So I decided to make a XPG light that is driven to max spec.

I have one XPG R4 left which was purchased from Nailbender,
it's a better tint than the 4Seve's XPG R5, it's pure white, not nasty green tint.

The light uses 2 Li-ion with 2x800mA constant current driver wired in parallel to deliver 1.6 Amp total current to LED. I learned to use this driver from the original DEFT thread here (See post #1 for the driver):
http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/...d.php?t=183261

This will push the XPG R4 to roughly around 500 emitor lumens.

Spec:

  • Brand New Mag 2C in Titanium Grey/Gun Metal color
  • Powered by 2x Li-ion.
  • Nailbender XPG R4 on 14mm board (Pure White tint)
  • Brass Heat sink
  • Dual 800mA CC driver delivering 1.6 Amp to the Led.
  • Custom Sputtered mag reflector
  • Shortened Spring for reduced pressure on Li-ion
  • Estimated around 500 led Lumens from a single XPG R4
  • Perfect beam, Thanks to the nice sputter job (not by me)
  • This will blow away the new Malkoff XPG drop-in
  • This will give you 4-6 hour Run time depends on what Li-ion you use.
  • Perfect & intense hot spot
Price is $69,
add $10 for Shipping & PP Fee. USA Only.Batteries not included, the light is currently running on 2x AW 18500 Li-ion with a PVC battery sleeve.

I will include the battery sleeve for free for 18500/18650 use.

There are many ways to run it, the light will Run on:

  • 2x18500 protected Li-ion with the included PVC battery sleeve
  • 2x18650 protected Li-ion with download's Mag Ring (to extend the mag a few mm longer) & recessed spring mod
  • 2x18650 IMR 18650 with recessed spring mod, no need for the mag ring
  • 2x18650 unprotected li-ion with recessed spring mod
  • 2x DX 25,500 C-lion, unprotected version (The protected one is too long)
  • 2xAW IMR 26500 if bore out the battery tube to 26 mm
I do not recommend using unprotected Li-ion, it'll work but it's not as safe as the protected Li-ions or the AW IMR.

Hi ma_sha,

Another great build! I'm planning a similar 2C mod. Great form factor and long run time.
