Just to confirm the Maxtoch 2X will be available dedomed ex factory shortly - in production now. Depends what led its running but output likely to be between 250-300k lux.
Won't make alot of difference for kiwis as gadgetman has done hundreds of dedomes, but will be very useful for overseas buyers.
There will also be a remote pressure switch for the 2X so it can be scope mounted.
Been reading this thread for awhile Thanks to "mudgripz", "gadgetman + others for the great info.
Got a m24s & some panasonics last week tried out the torch on some wallibies works great & good battery life, got a question for you guys is there any difference in battery life between the U2 & the U3 leds?
Also got a Fandyfire STL-V6 torch is there anyway to get rid of the flashing/strobe functions, the torch also stops running & I have to slap with my other hand to get it running again, any ideas?
Thanks
The torch still uses the same constant current driver so the increase in output of a U3 over a U2 is efficiency. Batteries will last just as long, just produces more light.

Worth blowing $20 on y'think?
Was the LED fried or just de-soldered Brian?
All the ones that I've fixed have just been desoldered due to piss poor reflowing.
The Fandyfire STL-V6 above needs stronger springs and/or the switch replaced.

LED definitely kaput. Applied power directly to LED and there was nobody home. Looked a bit cloudy too.

Thats pretty random. Havent seen that u2 or even a u3 at stock current
Sounds really weird! I've only blown led's by putting 5v from a computer power supply through them on accident when testing![]()
Are these available, if so is that with the pezel switch, batteries charger, would like some pricing if you could PM me.
I have one, but a mate who's not on here wants one but won't buy in from oversea's.

Out of pure curiosity (nosey), is Our very own gadgetman the official nz based agent for service/repair on Maxtochs, or as I suspect, simply a bloody good bloke ?

Both. If you contact them with an issue you will get my details. I put my hand up and said I'd help out on a voluntary basis. They sent me a few spares which have only been dug into twice as there are few that seem to stop. I'm waiting to hear from @BRADS.
