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:
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:

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

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
