This was a fun mod, Jordan,s 35mm module wouldn't fit by a millimetre, I had to bring down the back and back side for the host to thread into the head, originally the Himel 5.5a boost driver I was intending to use was getting to hot to touch at 4.5a and then I managed to break a component of so I ordered two 4.5a SXBs from Jeff, they arrived 2 weeks later and the first driver wasn't showing anything on my test load with multiple different bats, I tried heat sinked and bridged still nothing so had to use the second one, I couldnt get over 3a with my PS set at 4.8v so not much luck with these drivers, I left it at 3a for 3w disappointed since this diode is capable of 6w and now I find all the bats I purchased won't fit so I'm left with a 18500 IMR, at least I'm still getting 3w with this bat. There isn't much extra room in this host so I had to remove my heatsink on the regulator for the head to screw together, fortunately my copper module is touching the top of the regulator so I'm sure its sufficient.
I also had issues with the grounding of the host and the switch, I removed all the anodising from the threads with a brass brush drillbit. I tried many different switches some worked better than others, now it's using a modded clicky not the stainless momentary in the pics, my grounding and switch issue is resolved and now working great.
The INR Effest 26500 with Max 48a discharge current that I purchased for this build is half a millimetre to wide to slide in my barrel, very disappointing. The divergence of this NUBM06 diode with a China G2 lens looks very similar to me as the NUBM07E if not better. I really like this Led Lenser though, it's great quality nice size and the matte black anodising looks awesome.
Thanks Jordan-Jeff and LPF!
