Build thread HERE.

Up for sale is a 3x18650 triple XM-L in neutral-white, built around the amazing (and pricey) PilotPTK module. This fully-programmable powerhouse drives the LEDs to a max of 3.2A each, for an estimated 2000+ lumen OTF !

Up to 16 modes can be programmed (upon request) for the buyer, from around 2 lumen to over 2000. Current mode selection is L-M-H.

This module is also smart enough to throttle back output to not exceed the (programmable) max temperature setting. Low-voltage warning (and how it alerts to same) is also programmable, and currently set at 3.0V per cell.

The host is the 3x18650 CNQG Longrun, as it has the heatsinking, thermal pathway, and quality to sustain extended runtimes at the more than 40 Watt output of which this module is capable.

Runtime at max power is approximately 50 minutes using 3 protected Panasonic 3100mAh cells. With 3400mAh cells this is stretched to almost exactly one hour.

Here is the business end, showing the custom aluminum retention ring for the CUTE-3 optics:

The beefy threaded heatsink was machined from a billet of 6061 aluminum:

The module was affixed to the heatsink using Arctic Silver, using pressure from the screw shown below during curing for the best possible thermal pathway:

This is a true wall-of-light torch, even with the 'narrow' CUTE-3 optic. The buyer may choose to replace it with a wider version for even more coverage.

Must resist, must resist. Looks great, build thread was good reading. But still, must resist....


Me, too.

What specific emitters are they, and can the levels be programmed to ramping?

The emitters are a T5 3C 5000K, and appear as a beautiful creamy white. No overly pink or sickly green here. :)

Ramping can be programmed, as can the frequency of the strobe, if desired. You have up to 16 levels or configurations with which to play - and 1023 steps in each !

Mode memory is optional, but available.

That is my ideal "flood monster" / "wall of light" beam profile.

Excellent work.

You are building these but only one for sale? Curious about programming and changes, what would be involved to modify the programming? Also, any shots on the battery carrier and how quick it is to swap cells? Thanks!.

It is about 40mm long.

The programming is changed using a PickKIT programmer; they are available from many retailers such as Mouser or Digikey. The software for generating the code is available for free from the person who built the module.

Please check the build thread (link at top of first post) for pics of the cell holder.

I have now built three of these, but only one is currently for sale. :) I could be encouraged to sell my personal example, Cerakoted white, if asked nicely.
