Very impressive, how did you drill the holes in the light?
I always like modded lights from CRX but this one looks extra well done (if that is even possible.)
Such polished fit n finish on this light & it’s so practical too. This light needs to go into mass production.
Thanks, i just used a battery drill with 1.5mm bit, drilled three holes and filed out the slot with mini diamond files. The charging indicator is a single hole filled with UV setting glass glue.
Thanks very much mate :+1:
Nice mod, your hand-made work is impressive!
Still practicing, but getting better Thanks.
I’m amazed you did not break many bits and could drill 3 holes close enough together to bridge them with a mini file
Me too! :laughing: That was the scariest part of the build and went much better than i had anticipated.
The aluminium is really quite soft once you get through the ano. I tried a new trick and cut a small line with a junior hacksaw on this one first.

Interesting, interesting, i had a thread about the soft aluminum a few years back, i’ll see if i can find it
CRX,
Well Done, Love It.
Liked the Lateral Thinking with disconnecting the circuit to reveal the charging port.

Yeah nice mod
But seriously an Eagle Eye X2R might be a simple solution

Thank you

Thanks, but i fear you are missing the point
I have an Eagle Eye X2R on order, should be an interesting light.
Very cool mod, CRX!
Nice
I have been planning a similar mod for a while but haven’t gotten there yet. I laid out a charginging circuit with the components of a commonly available circuit. I have the parts on hand but haven’t worked out how to order the boards.
It seems like integrated charging has been showing up on more and more lights such as the convoy BD0 series of lights. This is a great feature, but makes it hard for modding as a driver change typically means the charging feature will be sacrificed. This leaves the feeling incomplete especially when there is a hole in the body where the charging cable used to go. I think it would be nice to get some discussion going that would help us modders advance and be able to offer our own charging circui…
Wow well done! :+1: Your skilz and builds are amazing! You must have been a watch maker in a previous life!!
Clever build
Ingeniously done!
(The pictures are kind of dark. A bit of lighting will make the details more visible i think.)
Very nice work again, you clearly spend serious time tinkering what should be possible and have most of the build thought out before even starting.
Inspiring stuff! I might well make something like this myself based on this build, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the inspiring comments gentlemen
Added a couple new pics to OP.
Very nice build, I’m really impressed!
