I couldnāt get the SRAM decay method working very well with the 85V. Things wouldnāt start to decay until about 4 or 5 seconds, making short vs long press duration checks pretty much useless. OTSM is so far the most accurate method Iāve used.
My first mod thread just went up yesterday. Iāve always enjoyed reading the mod threads around here, but never contributed one of my own. Well, now I have. Itās not much, but itās a start, I guess.
@ZozzV6,
Say, where did you get the premade a PD68 lighted tailcap board? I can find only the ones with 2 LEDs and built-in switch (from Kaidomain I think).
Itās certainly a pain to adjust the timing on the decay method. Itās probably just dumb luck that the components on a nanjg driver happen to give it a reasonably useful timing. With different values for any of its components it probably wouldnāt work. And then most of the BLF driver designs copied it, so the method continued working, mostly.
OTSM would definitely be more flexible and more accurate, given hardware capable of doing it.
I made myself. I think my english tricked you. I tried to say that I made the lighted board before the host arrive to just put them together when I get the host.
Solved my VG10 problem today.
Looks like I got a new cree star inside
Found some copper pieces about 0.5mm thick and stacked them up to fill missing space.
Soldered them together, put some thermal paste and itās perfect now :+1:
Finally built my f13 triple.
Used the 22mm MTN fet+7135 with guppydrive
32mm noctigon with xpl-2 v5 4k
Ledil cute-3
Dual spring bypass with 18 aug at the tail.
And a killer copper spacer from k-ru.
Wow. Topped out at 3070 lumens with a 30q.
This is my first light to break the 3k barrier for lumens
Really impressed on how it handles the heat. The spacer was a nice snug fit. Painted it with silver and the light can last almost 4-5 min before it gets too hot for me.
X7 triple is next!
Not sure if itās modding
I replace the faulty switch of utorch ut01, it works well now, great light for 14500 battery
I need to do this too.
What kind of switch did you use? Can you please post a link where to buy.

Bought it from taobao(digikey have , too, but more expensive)
Thanks, unfortunately I canāt order from taobao and the rest (mouser, digikey) have too high shipping costs for a sub 50 cent item.
What country do you live in? Maybe you can find a member thatās buying something from one of those places and have them buy one and ship it to you.
Have you tried looking on eBay?
Or AliExpress?
(edit) Hmmā¦ no results there, sorryā¦
Yes, tried everything else I could think of (and a desperate search on google)
I had here still parts left from a dead Klarus XT12GT and the XT11GT driver and switch going in the Klarus XT12GTS mod. The driver was from a dead XT12GT I saw that the FET was burned I tested it, just to measure the FET in the boost circuit was burned because in any case the FET got 3.3V with no modulation, so switching the FET would not solve the problem.

XPL HI V3-3C and Texas Avenger driver now inside
Narsil with full brightness when forward switch connects battery
a few days back I used my reverse lens adapter to make some nice makros
with a powerful flashlight light I got to F=18 16-35mm lens reversed on crop 1.6 DSLR
Did some photos with my reverse adapter for DSLR Used Canon Eos 50D with 16-35mm F2.8 lens @F=18 and reverse adapter ISO400 1/160s light with a 1400 lumens 5000K NW flashlight from the side First Lite On [image] http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/239/LTPL-C034UVH365%20DataSheet_Ver4_20150916-775583.pdf this LED has a electrical neutral middle thermal pad for DTP stars The active area is a lot bigger than on he Nichia LED, so it throws less my LED has a surprizing low forward voltage of 3.46V @0ā¦
Woah, you guy have a bad luck, i guess
Basically, taobao has everything( i just type name and ta dah)
Made another Texas Avenger driver and reflo 3 Nichia leds from a Kaidomain triple to a Noctigon XP20 triple.
Before heating up. I like to see the small solder balls in the paste through microscope Fun to watch them melting together.
Anyone familiar with this driver? I took it out of the TrustFire ST-80 that is running SST-50 led. Goal is to change it to one mode only but I did not expected to bi so complicated.
Other part of the driver (not shown) has 2 mosfets K3638, sense resistors and a coil on itā¦
Trustfire makes their own drivers AFAIK, and they usually look complicated. I hope someone can help you (I canāt)
