Hello all,
I received my new xp-g r4 led's a little while back. I put one in an r2 drop in and replace it with one of my r4's. This modification I wanted to make something from scratch.
1. Flashlight host is the DIY kit from DX.
2. The 5 mode boost/buck circuit from KD.
3. The xpg is from cutter mounted on the 10mm board.
4. The lens is an upgrade ucl lens from flashlightlens.
The mod went pretty well and is fairly straightforward.
I used some dx thermal epoxy to attach the led to the heatsink.
Indoor approximately 20 feet away from the door. The focus is alot better than my last mod I did. This reflector that comes with the kit works better with the xpg than a typical xre r2 drop in reflector IMO. Much nicer hot spot.
It is drawing 1.3A from the tail on high from a freshly charged trustfire 18650. I have run it for 15 minutes continuously and it only get warm. Also it brought the battery from 4.22V down to 4.08 in that same fifteen minutes. Well, thats about it. Hope you all like it.
