    XHP70 12V not electrically isolated

    Bummer just cooked two XHP70 chips learning that when configured in 12V mode they are not electrically isolated from the base. I had 4 XHP70s in series for a mega flashlight I am putting together and when powered on it destroyed two of the 4 units. Just keep this in mind when building high...

    100+ Watt Boost drivers?

    I have used Taskled HB flex to drive my other mod http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?427550-My-New-Magmod-Project-13x-XP-L-12k-Lumens and am looking to see if anyone one else is doing any drivers as powerful? I have 3 more lights coming and am looking to incrementally upgrade...

    My New Magmod Project 13x XP-L 12k Lumens

    The original lack of recent updates was due to a failure on my charger board (but that escalated to pure lameness and lazyness for quite a few months after that). The charge board was cut using my small CNC mill with a insanely small endmill: Here is a little video of the board when I was...

    TaskLed Stat keeps led on indefinitely?

    Well I took a chance and hooked up to the Vin and STAT+...IT WORKED! Now my stat LED flashes as it should. Hopefully Taskled will update their manual to make it a little clearer.

    TaskLed Stat keeps led on indefinitely?

    I have an HBflex driver and I want to use the Stat led. In the manual it say to connect the LED to Vin to your anode, and cathode to series resistor the stat pin. Well the driver has both STAT + and STAT -. So if hooked it up like instructed to STAT -. This just keeps my stat led on...

    My New Magmod Project 13x XP-L 12k Lumens

    Thanks for for the post! The switch doesn't carry any of the current. Taskled drivers require a momentary switch that closes contacts to a set of inputs and turns the light on. The heavy current is controlled by the driver. That switch is only only good for around 2 amps. I designed for...

    My New Magmod Project 13x XP-L 12k Lumens

    A while back my old mag mod 4x XML got stolen during a break-in and have been craving a new palm sized monster. I will keep track of the project here as I progress. Here is what I am looking at so far: 4x 3-up Cree XP-L star boards 1x D-Cell Maglite modded to 4-6in length 1x Taskled HBflex 1x...

    120vac led driver 30w; Changing Current level?

    Ah ha good catch! Dude you are the man, I totally over looked those at being paralleled! Sure enough a 1 ohm, 1 ohm, 1.2ohm makes .35 ohm. I took off the 1.2 ohm one and I was at a maximum current of 512ma at the led! Perfect! The led runs much cooler now and is still bright enough...

    ~3000 Lumen Magmod 4x XMLs Build Up

    Sorry I never seem to be properly subscribed to my own threads. Anyhow I didn't actually remove the switch. Its still in there. It was substantially trimmed down and cut through to allow wires to pass from the battery directly to the driver circuit while others pass through the switch. I...

    120vac led driver 30w; Changing Current level?

    Thanks for the response! I did see that in the data sheet of the unit I linked to. I need to figure out how the chip is truly orientated and if the pins match the ones I in the datasheet. Once I can identify the pin then I should be able to backtrack to figure out where to adjust. Looking...

    120vac led driver 30w; Changing Current level?

    I purchased a led driver for my 30w led back in December and has been working great up till up burned up my led. I have a new led on the way but would like to drop the current of my driver from 1000ma to around 750ma max. I've opened up the driver and it is not exactly obvious of what to...

    30w bulb failure, Ideas why?

    I have a 30w led array similar to this: Here is the unit with failure: Awe crap can't believe I shot the video wrong direction sorry guys. I bought it back in december and was really enjoying it performance in a kitchen light. About 2 weeks ago the unit started to flicker and I blamed...

    ~3000 Lumen Magmod 4x XMLs Build Up

    Thanks for all awesome responses! This project was a real pleasure since the last time I built up a flashlight it was before I had all the machining skills and equipment. This time around I was able to really do what I was imagining. Yah I wish the optics were a little better and a tad bit...
