I like to have the Lumintop Tool Copper with the electronic switch from the Tool Ti, here it is.
The whole story: Lumintop Tool Copper with electronic switch
Built up a tiny10 7135 driver(2 chip stack) with guppy drive and installed it in a BLF 348.
Modded a DQG26650 with one of Everett’s colour drivers. The only thing left is to order a lens for it.
Glad you saw the post. Was thinking of sending it to ya.
Wish I could program a driver… Still learning basics. I was proud of the resistor mod on that one because I was flying by the seat of my pants and generally copy what others do on electronics mods. May do 2X 1R0 stacked on the next. 0.25 ohm may still be under 2A, shooting for 1.5A to be safe.
It’s really easy to get into flashing firmwares .
If you want to , just send me a message and i think i will be able to help you .
Did another 18650 rechargeable. Added 2X 1R0 resistors and get 2.0A as I guessed. Some pics
Sanded the spacer and fitted
Double stacked resistors and the driver. This one had a hot glue Booger between the SW and charge port. Made it miserable…
Used a Jaxman Nichia 219B 4000K high CRI on a 20mm DTP aluminum.
Bypassed the driver spring… because I was in there and the iron was on.
Another…
Eagle Eye X7 XP-L HI 3A got some boost today. Killer 26650 light IMO.
MtnE 20mm Fet+1 and bypassed SW spring. Didn’t check amps because the tail switch assembly ring is difficult to get started and scratches get worse on the tail finish.
Ceiling shot of spot
I stripped for the first time today.
Stripped a flashlight, that is. I got this grey S2+ for like $6. But upon getting it, I couldn’t stand the color so it’s sat in its box for a month or so.
But I got inspired by vwpieces to strip and polish it. It’s not perfect, but much better than that ugly grey.
I like it. :+1: :+1:
Mine WAS Blue. Got it for the metal SW but couldn’t take the color any more. Tried to bake it and really got ugly, not changing color. So I went bare naked.
Most of the time I take pics of a polished light and see that I need to do-over. Back to 2000 wet and usually harder polish cause it’s late and frustrated. Worn 2000 paper will help also.
Grease the threads, and I usually wipe a thin coat of oil inside. Sometimes the Lye is not rinsed off good enough and white oxidization forms in a few days.
Thanks for the tips 
I really like the metal switch, but that’s OK. Having the silicone one on this just means that it’ll get an illuminated tailcap soon. I’m thinking white or white & blue on this one, should go with the bare metal nicely.
Coffee is working this morning… Tiny parts.
SF348 got a new emitter. Yeah, another 219B 4000K High CRI.
Cleaned up the pill, removed burrs and flatened best I could. Opened the reflector a bit too much and got a couple scratches, but oh well it fits the emitter. There was no thermal paste on it. reflowed the emitter to the original 8mm aluminum MCPCB.
Bought it cause it was $4.50 but never used this light because it was an awful color. Now I may grab it on occasion.
Got tired of the SF348 screaming “Polish me, Polish Me!” Hope the voices will stop now.
Locator switch light on the S10R II i got from - X3 -
Sweet mod !
You like tinkering with small LEDs don’t you ? 
TA driver, Bistro
Eagle-eye X7
XP-G3 5000K
more incremental work on my “scratch build” DIY-USB microscope project…
melted zinc, cast it in into a short piece of round stock, 3 or more inches in diameter… for inexpensive “practicing” making the general shape of something i will make later out of aluminum stock.
practicing the shape on aluminum would be cost prohibitive, lol…
Nice Project. I want to do it similar with XP-L2 and BLF A6 Driver.
The Driver is very nice solderd, did you done it yourselfs?
Have you reworked the driver retaining ring? Or what is the right ring in the 6th picture?
Yes, Rework with the original ring.
Driver soldered by hot-air gun.
If you order the thin .8mm 2OZ boards from oshpark I have found they clear most retaining rings without the need for modifications. The retaining ring will just sit on top of the 7135’s. I do this for all of the 17mm drivers and any 20mm driver that might need the extra clearance. Larger then that and total strength can be an issue.
On the road M3 LED locator switch. Green light is on constantly, turns brighter red for low voltage warning.
