This is the mount I made for my light out on the trails, it holds it well on the rough trails and the sling works well when we are on foot. 20180411_192529.jpg20180411_192624.jpg

I'm asking here only because this thread's at the top... Could someone educate me about the 50's battery pack? I presume it's propietary, but am curious as to voltage/cells used, as long as it's not an industrh secret. If it is, my apologies...

You can PM Dan XeRay and he will give you answers!
As far as I know, the 50, 70 and the 70 superpower all uses same battery pack with different head reflector.

Yes the battery is the same on all their light's. Just the bulb and reflectors are different on the lights.

Lemax uses 2 different wattage ballasts as we also do, but we use military grade ballasts (35/50 or 50/70).

Actually we use 2 different bulbs and different Igniters for the 2 different lights, while Lemax uses the same OSRAM or Philips D1S 35 watt rated bulb/igniter assby (1 piece) for all 3 lights, even 70 watts.

We use a 35 watt GE D2S bulb made in Hungary (best in class) for the 35/50 and a XeSparQ igniter / socket (patented) for fast bulb replacement 1 to 2 minutes (no tools)
vs 20 minutes and special tools needed for the Lemax bulbs.

We use a special high power and very expensive (3X $) Philips bulb for the 50/70 or a Superpower, Philips DL50/740 (not a "fatboy")

For our proposed "Ultra" (80 but more likely 85 watt) Superpower or standard (LX70) head our XV-85 ULTRA (60/85 most likely) we use the same XeSparQ Igniter/socket and the Philips DL50 "Fatboy" to handle 85 watts.
