10.31.11 Update
I have finally perfected my Direct Drive Custom Made PCB. This board give very clean and better solder joint compared to the ones used before. I also found a new material for thermal injection that does not have any risk of leaking and making a mess. All DD drop ins from now on will use this board. All drop in will use this new material for thermal injection.

11.23.2011 Update

Warning for FIVEMEGA COOLY USER!

For anyone who is using my drop in in a FiveMega Cooly please be sure to wrap aluminum foil tightly. Use regulated Drop ins only as direct drive XML can't handle 26650 excessive current. I bought a cooly myself and the heat transfer is terrible unless you wrap the drop in tightly with aluminum foil. Just because the host is beefy with fins it doesn't mean the heat will get to it. If aluminum foil is too hard for you to wrap I can send you FREE aluminum adhesive tape to ease with the wrapping. Just post your request here and PM me your address and I will get the aluminum adhesive out to you.

If any other buyer wants FREE aluminum adhesive because aluminum foil is too hard to wrap then just request here and and PM me your address. Thanks!

:)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting right now until Monday midnight if you buy two XML-U2 DD it will only be $60 instead of $80. I only have 3 pairs available. Thanks!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11.27.11 Update

- Free Diffuser Vynl and Aluminum adhesive upon request from now on.
- 2.8A current regulated 2.7-6V SINGLE MODE available now

Thanksgiving Special Ended. All 3 set sold!

Update:
For those of you Running my Regulated 4.2A Drop in. Using HIGH on 2*CR123 Might go BOOOOOOM due to the high current drain. 18650 is the safest way to go!!! Consider yourself warn. You may run it for a few minutes and touch the CR123 to see how hot it is.

Update:

*****Many people are still very confused between several topics below when inquiring one of my drop in:

  1. Direct Drive VS Regulation
  2. Thermal Injection
  3. Solder Filled
  4. Heat Transfer
  5. How and why we wrap aluminum for our drop in
  6. High current and switch
  7. Safety high current and batteries type
  8. Reflector types and it effects on light focus.
I will discuss all of the topics above to the best of my knowledge in a separate thread over at CPF which I will link to post 1 of this thread. However I want to show real quick what solder filled look like and share how it really help heat sinking.
I have been experimenting with SST-50 and SST-90 lately and these LEDs are HOT! A SST-50 will easily turn blue at 5A in a P60 pill if heat sink is poor. Heat transfer is similar to water current flow or electricity flow. We do not want bottle necks as they create resistance. And usually resistance wastes useful energy. When I melt solder into the pill of the P60 it allows the heat from the LED sink into the chunk of solder like a water reservoir before it have time to flow into the reflector and then the host. Without solder the heat does not have enough time to transfer away from the LED and into the host thus making the LED turn blue which the LED will die in about 10 seconds. I witness this effect clearly with an SST-50 and a pill with and without solder filled. For XML the solder really seem to keep the light brighter longer. For Direct Drive application, solder filled works great for P60 design. J

Hey vinh, do you have any warm tinted XM-L's? and if so, how bright do you think they would run in Direct Drive?

You might want to add a link to this new thread from your closed CPFMP thread. Is purchase required to be in the drawing?

I do not have any warm tint. Although I can order and build upon request. I am guessing it's probably around 800 LED Lumen.

How big of a difference between your OP and smooth reflectors? From the pics you really can't tell..

Modes have to go through a driver chip, and the point of a direct drive is that there is no driver chip. In a DD setup, the positive lead on the LED is in direct contact with the positive side of the power source, and the negative LED lead is direct to the negative side of the battery source.

Re: vinhnguyen54 Custom P60 1000 Lumen Drop in

:paypal:
May I have another ..... :devil:

1) $40 Direct Drive 4.2A XML "Warm" Smooth Reflector with Thermal Injection please.

Hey Vinh, this will be my 4th drop purchased from you. These are killer. I really like my 2 mode 2.8 amp. These units crank out the lumens. All my Vinh drops have excellent beam profiles. It would not hurt my feelingings if this one was for free. Add me to the drawing. Many Thanks
Will
