For sale:
*Again for sale on CPF custom! *

*SOLD*

My latest build: Fivemega Elephant II with 7* XM-L U2 on copper-PCB, driven by a taskled HBFlex driver @ 3000mA.

Link to build-thread

Selling to free up funds for new builds.

In short, this light is very, very impressive in output. Built with some of the best components available to create a high quality light, which is actually usable. Not really happy to see this go since it's my biggest build yet, but some things just have to be done :).

- FiveMega Elephant host
- 7 * XM-L U2 on the more than excellent Led-tech.de copper boards
- Taskled.com HBFlex driver, to drive the leds
- Huge chunk of aluminium heatsink
- Momentary maglite switch
- 7 Der Wichtel reflectors

For sale for: 899$799$749$719$699$669$599$549$

This includes insured worldwide shipping.
This includes the custom batteryholder for 4*18650 cells.
This excludes the batterypack. Add 50$ for the battery pack.
First I'll take it in this topic with prompt payment gets it :).

And the 7* XM-L U2 Light of this topic :D :

So due to it's shear power, it outtrows the very impressive Mag2D Rebel :D.

Size vs Mag2D:


One note I would like to make is that the tailcap has an imperfect finish and is not the same color (greenish tint). This can be seen in this picture:

To me it is not a problem, since it is barely visible in most circumstances and I use it to set the light down :), but have to note it.

What are the dimensions and on full blast how long can it run continuous before getting too hot?

Re: WTS: 7* XM-L U2 in FiveMega Elephant II host: 7000 Led-lumen power

Added temperature measurements (and calculated them to DegF while I was at it).

So it will run continuously from room temperature for 5 minutes easily. I think that the TaskLed driver has a temperature cut-off, which I can program in if it has :).

edit: Added picture vs Mag2D for size:)

May I express appreciation for your most impressive work. I would really like to see this design implemented as a marketable production supported by an established manufacturer. Some confidence for safety are reliabiability are needed. I could personally justify funding at the 500 USD point for such a prize possesion!

Stay well,
Captain Brock

Thanks you :). 500USD would be sweet if they made it available for that price indeed. But sadly, the parts on this build alone exceed this amount heavily :(.

Just as a cautionary aside, you shouldn't be mixing cell brands in that pack, especially with that much of a power draw.

Good luck with your sale!

Thanks for the reply :). You are absolutely right. I didn't have 4 identical cells for the picture so used some cells I had lying around.

Thanks :).
