Wolf Eyes Sea Lion Hunter SST-90 green mod

ashwally · May 9, 2012

Hi, new to this forum so bear with me ...:wave:

I currently have a Sea Lion Hunter using the Cree XM-L T6 and want to mod it to use a green led.

The only one I could find with any decent output is the SST-90G.

Would it be possible to remove the XM-L chip and install the SST-90???

I'm not really after getting the maximum output out of the SST, something similar to the original output would be fine.

thanks

Further to my last post, did some research on the XM-L T6 and the SST-90G:

	XM-L T6	SST-90G
lumen @ 3000mA	975	[email protected]
mA Max	3000mA	9000mA
V typical	2.9V	2.5V
V max	4V	3.9V

Wolf Eyes specify 1000 lumens emitter output so I assume the current would be near the max @ 3 amps.
Driving the SST-90G @ 3.15 amps has the emitter output at around 855 lumens.
My question is would the original driver work with the SST-90 led chip?

As long as its a decent constant current driver and not something cheesy like just a resistor inside, it should work. (which it appears that what they are on their website)

Thanks... possibly the main issue will be fitting the SST-90 10mmx11mm chip as the XM-L T6 is only 5mm x 5mm. I think will disassemble first to see how much space there is .....
