BLF style 18650 1s thrower( poor mans Olight M2X)

Hi, what is the diameter of the reflector hole? regards!

Sorry, I would not know anymore because I reamed the hole a bit to fit the centrrpiece that I had

I’d end up forgetting all the work it took and open it, screwing everything up. lol

Nice job!

I fixed my old Olight SR-90 Intimidator to take two 32650’s. I put a clicky switch in the tail cap for lockout and used an 18 ga lead through two pcb’s to contact the tail end of the cells. This all went together very intricately, the inside pcb had to be able to spin in order for the tail cap to screw on. Not long ago, forgetting all this, I cranked the tail cap off and broke the 18ga lead from the negative (and the additional 18ga lead to the battery positive. UGH! I only just fixed it again, need to get some glue in the threads on the tail cap so I don’t do it again. (Or engrave Do Not Open on the tailcap… so forgetful)

If it is same to HD-2010 (I guess), I can share drawing with you.

In post #149, Mitko said a T20 pill fits - it's very different in size from an HD2010 pill - see my picture in post #78.

Nice to see you hop in here, kariba-ru. I have searched your work on Google.

It would be fantastic if you could help us all get by this hiccup with this mod candidate :)

I am new to the mod scene. So will listen and learn more than comment

Here we go :slight_smile:

Actualy T20 pill fits better yet we do need a CU pill in there, what do you think about that matter?
If so, i could give you some thoughts about it, it should be actualy something like the t20 pill yet with a flat emitter plate in order for it to be capable of 26+mm pcbs carrying

I got 320cds out of that body folks, nearly the same as a very well modded M2X: with everything needed for a good mod but the ar glass

For the money, one of the best thrower budget deals atm: its the reflector equivalent of B158

Im short-sighted so Im not into this throwers :wink:
If you need some copper pills, I can do them, but I dont want to have one more useless host on my table. If you can send head with stock pill to me, I will return it with upgrated pill :beer:

If you accept i will buy one in your address … It will be around the same cost wise as sending one to you from here

:slight_smile:
Lets wait Mitko`s reply

Of course :slight_smile:

I will be buying 2 pills if you produce copper pill for 26mm mcpcb (depending the price) .

I also have good old G2 S3 2B(which should be even better than Mitko S4 1A, and only about 10% lower performance than S4 2B) so now when I saw Djozz result I think even 350 kcd should not be any problem and all that with just 4,5A current draw :slight_smile:

Nice results guys. Djozz managed to get through :+1:

Mitko I don’t understand this.

This what I will mention below is real T20 pill cause I’ve done couple of them with 20mm mcpcb’s so I really don’t understand how it don’t fits for you?

This is real T20 pill that I bought at fasttech and fitted to couple of T20 :
this is

So if T20 pill fits I really don’t get how this particular T20 pill won’t fit? :smiley:

Folks over at TLF have taken a closer look at the Black Flat than we did at BLF, and found that they vary quite a lot in voltage, output and current handling. But if you strike a good one that handles high current well, the illuminance of the die and thus throw can surpass the best dedomed XP-G2.
So if I was lucky with my led (that was driven to the max in this mod), 343 kcd may be harder to beat than you think.

Probably the T20 pill that takes a 20mm star is problematic as the reflector still touches the pads. If it had a flat emitter surface then a 26mm mcpcb could be used, this would put the contacts outside the reflector base and allow a deeper set of reflector onto emitter for proper focus.

I’ll sure report my results when they come with slow boat from China.
The best single cell reflector thrower I have is lumapower with turboforce head and it is also throws around 350 but with s42b.
Mitkos thrower(I’ll call it that :slight_smile: ) seems to have even wider reflector so I am very optimistic.

Solder filling the gap on brass pill should be easy job? Even for direct soldering to pill(if someone wants) of big 26mm mcpcb?

Despite the modding challenge of this light I ordered another one to see what the XP-G2 does in it. At least I know what to do now!

That’s the spirit!

Imho the harder it is to modd the greater pleasure of of final result it will be

Edit: Do you have old s42b?

No, I don’t, but I like dedomed 3D better anyway :slight_smile:

Wow, you guy’s are getting sweet throw numbers from such a cheap light. I remember seeing the OP but never came back until djozz showed his light in the ‘what did you mod today’ thread. Still not sure I’ll buy one though.

Any cheap 26mm mcpcb (dtp , copper) with XP footprint ?
