My current favorite mod is a Convoy C8 (shelf,) with a sliced XHP50 and semi-functioning A6 driver from banggood, powered by a SolarStorm, 2S battery holder. Current is about 3A to the driver. This is my long, night ride/ no streetlights, bike light!
(UGH, yes, I do see the annoying spec of solder on the LED! It’s driving me nuts just watching the pic! lol)
One of my all-time favorites was OL’s 12-up from simple Maglites. Probably because I grew up using those on Scout trips and it’s always fun to see them modded to shine like the sun. Also bc OL is an awesome person, RIP.
I am an aficionado of high CRI and neutral tint. The Nichia 219B is one of my favorite emitters. Unfortunately, the 219B is not all that bright. That's why I like the mods that put 3 or 4 together, making for lots of floody, high-CRI wonderfulness.
The triples and quads that BLF member ven uses at work and home are some of my favorites. Built around the P60 host, they are useful, work-a-day flashlights, perfect for close-range viewing both indoors and out.
Random.org choose number 46, that makes CRX our Lucky winner of what will seem a stock light for such a great modder lol !
Now to think about what he’ll make of this one
