Note of appreciation;
Due to an honest mistake with the build, which I did not catch and should have the Light Engine has been changed from the NG750 TXOJ to a DB917 TWOJ.
It's apparent that the constructive comments made by others were indeed correct concerning the use of 2x123's with the NG750. Thanks to all who helped, we have a good community of folks who always will lend a hand here at CPF.
Wayne & Cindy Yamaguchi graciously supplied the new DB917 which has made the Aleph 3 a very good build, thanks to Wayne & Cindy :thumbsup: .

I want one of these (or something similar) so bad I can taste it!

(Mmmm... anodizing...)

But I just can't swing it right now... someone is gonna get a great deal on a great light!

Are you sure about the specs? Can a TXOJ run safely using 2x123 and an NG750?

The TW0J I played with had a TW0J or TW0K at 917 so I'd think 750 would be fine...

Yeah but the question is.....NG converter on 2x123? Didn't think that was something even thinking of. I don't understand.

I think there must have been a failure to communicate at some point. Near as I can figure, unless things have changed, the maximum V-in with a "J" Vf and 750mA V-out would be at best ~4.2V, which would make the NG right on the edge with a single R123 hot off the charger.

I wish I knew more about how this stuff worked, but the above seems pretty clear even to me

Hmm, I just noticed it also has a 15ohm low, which I doubt very many would want on a 2x123, especially the A3 head, but is sort of the defacto standard with a single cell.

No offense to Barefootone, but it almost looks like the light was spec'd originally as a 1x123, and for some reason he's selling it on a 2x123 body without realizing the driver consequences :shrug:

Hmmm,

My brain cells are totally faded on this build.

I don't recall doing this build this way. I'm wondering if I built a 1X123 using the NG and possibly a 2X battery tube was purchased later???:huh2:

This really is not a recommended solution I sanctioned. If this was a wiz2 converter board on a 2XCR123 it would be ok. You could run this configuration with one li-ion ??17500??. One of the li-ion cells is the size of a 2X123.


I never recommended the NG beyond 4V with a Lux3 configuration and you'd have to twist my arm on that voltage. (not that I can recall...)

I think I got an M1 Abrams and he got the Aleph 3 as part of the bi-lateral trade agreement. :lolsign:

Re: FS ALeph 3 with brand new DB917 converter.

Ah, cool, I was wondering about that. I thought it must have been a typo, but I guess not as it's now fixed to a DB Free bump for you!

Re: FS ALeph 3 with brand new DB917 converter.

another free bump

this setup with DB917 is perfect for 2x protected R123 li-ion.

Re: FS ALeph 3 with brand new DB917 converter.

Good thing it was a shelf queen. Turning it on with the old LE would probably have been disastrous.

Guy's, Honestly I can't make the price more appealing. Surely someone needs a new Christmas present :santa: out there.
Merry Christmas to all & keep-em bright in the night :candle: ,

Keep-em bright in the night :candle: ,

"Paypal sent"...(to coin a new phrase)!
