Recycled a dead Imalent Light
Mod thread
Tailcap driver removed and replaced with reverse clicky
modded tail cap the hard way
Contact board modded to accept unprotectec cells, sanded down
basically wow factor that they spell their own brand wrong, chineese engeneer who cant speak english?
Tube shortened 0.5mm so unprotected get more spring force, but also fits 70mm long protected
TA Bistro driver connected to contact board
I finished the Convoy C8 with Texas Avenger driver and XP-L2 led, AR coated lens and OP reflector. It is astonishing. In turbo it draws 9,3A and with OP reflector I really like the beam too. The Kaidomain DTP led base need a little filing because if you tighten the screws to head, it blocks almost the wire holes in shelf. The Bleeder resistor needs a little fine tuning because of short and medium taps timing take too long. Sorry for the beamshots. All pics created with phone.
All pics of building process can be found Here
Control shot
Bam! 
I have built yesterday one too. On a distance from 6 meters I have measured 68.400 Lux with dome on! How many lux you have measured?
greetings
I’m at work now. Tonight I will measure it.
great
I measured 58250 Cd.
Did you mean Cd at your measurement instead of lux?
Lux at 1 meter = Candela
Ok but he sait 68400 lux at 6m
I’m looking to replace the driver of a Skilhunt H03. Any tips on how to get the light apart, from people who have done it?
I think he ment 68400 lux (cd) measured at 6m and calculated to 1m.
It will require a vice and heat but it is possible. I have done 6-7 now. I use an old leather belt with channel locks as a strap wrench. I oil the leather to keep it from ripping.
I have done it as well used wood to protect the light in my vise, best to put a snug fit protected battery in the tube, as you may overtighten it and ruin the tube
Then remove the switch cover and use wood and a smaller vise to twist on the head
heat up the connection between tube and head to about 100°C
from there its really easy to twist the head off
Ok, thanks for the tips. 100C with the cell inside?
Dont boil the light
Just focus with heat gun and narrow head or a small gas burner to the point where the glue is
The whole light with battery will heat up when settled maybe by 10K
I have unused zippo and rarely made fire with it, so I will turn it into real “light-er”.
This is initial mod, nothing fancy yet, battery must be detached to turn it off.
I will add reed/magnetic switch in the near future.
Cool idea!
I made a Lumintop IYP365 nm…
SEE WHAT I DID THERE ? SEE THE JOKE ? AHAH ! I’M FUNNY ! :person_facepalming:
I used this LED from Ali and a ZWB2 glass from Simon’s store
Along with my UV collection :
I think, yes, but we will have to wait until my xhp50.2 arrive and see
Today i did yet another led swap in my Convoy M1, this time sliced XP-L2 V6 5000k led. It makes about 1500 lumens and 28500cd. To be honest i expected a bit more.
At least the beam is very nice, no green hue around the hotspot at all.
How much current is it getting?
How did you dedome it so cleanly?
