Do these new LED's that come stock without a dome solve our problem? :o

I've found that anything warmer than about 1A or 2A ends up too orange or green after a de-dome. I guess it depends on the use and what tint the user prefers to look at. Personally I hate green and...

Like these
And they're pretty cheap.
And you can chose multiple board sizes.
And the seller is very reliable.
And nothing else for now

Edit: And if you fcuk up de-doming, you have spares...

The LED you linked is great with the dome on, but if you de-dome it (like you're planning to with the stock LED) it'll turn a yucky orange colour. When an LED is de-domed, the tint (colour) of the...

My method is put the LED (on a copper or aluminium base) in the frying pan and heat it up until the solder attaching the LED to the base melts. Then take the LED and the base out of the frying pan,...

If you get the ones I showed you they have plastic inserts so will work with 1" and 30mm scopes

Hmm what range are you hoping to spot animals at? One of my Convoy C8's can probably reach >500m but its been modified a bit.. In stock form they aren't really a long range torch.
If you want a real...

The Convoy C8 by far. The seller from the link below is the legit dealer. These lights are awesome quality and you can customise what you order - look down the page a bit.

Sounds really weird! I've only blown led's by putting 5v from a computer power supply through them on accident when testing :wtfsmilie:

Chances are the problem is something real simple to fix like a loose wire and Brian will have it running before you can say fix this please. I don't own a Maxtoch myself but I've only seen positive...

Quite interesting to look through the feedback section on the M24 page to see where all the purchases have been from.. Very popular with NZ'ers!!

So if they sell a single cell body (no change of driver) the driver must have a voltage range of roughly between 3v and 8.5v?

The 'best' (my opinion, and depends on intended use) single 18650 light would have to be the Convoy C8. Awesome quality for the price and can be tuned to be extremely bright

What do they charge for shipping? You can get them on Trademe for $25 without shipping (for the unprotected ones)

They're umm.. expensive

I don't have a lux meter so I have no idea how many lux I'll get.. I'd have to make a guess based on reflector size, current and emitter type.. Yeah I've been doing plenty of reading on blf! :)

Very informative post there mudgripz and I take on everything you said! But there may be a small misunderstanding here.. Your post seems like you think I was saying that the Courui is better than the...

One of mine has a SMO reflector and it has a dedomed XM-L2 U2 running at 4.2A.. It's bright :cool:
What sort of lux would you expect from that light? Can see cows at 400m with it on a clear night

Shit they take a while to get here.. I have ordered several lights from Aliexpress.com : Buy Convoy C8 Cree XML2 U2 1A LED Flashlight,torch,lantern,lanterna bike ,self defense,camping light, lamp,for...

Unwound? Are you talking about ones that are threaded? This one definitely isn't threaded :oh noes:

So I have now got a Roche F12 (which is a very nice single 18650 light) but I want to take the driver out to put a different one in. Problem is, the driver is held in by a press fit brass ring as in...

Does anyone know if batteries would actually get to NZ if we did a bulk buy? I know airlines aren't that keen on them

Thanks mate
