Thanks,
Button cap is from the OTR M3, as is the clip. That sucks on the clip. Would hate to loose mine, use it on my hat brim a lot.
I mentioned earlier I wasn’t going to repair/replace the charge circuit that failed on my Clone. I really had no idea how to do it.
What got me going on this was seeing a magnetic charger connector, IIRC on an Amutorch?. Seen a few others since.
Found some tiny self contained charger boards and figured “I CAN fix this, make it even better”. It was a challenge and that made it fun to do.
Wow wow wow!Impressive amount of work, skills, knowledge, will and steady hands there! Your work here is representation of what BLF is and why it’s different. It doesn’t matter how much original price of light was. It’s about challenge and will of pushing limits. Your mod is very inspiring.
Working on this flashlight is like listening classical music. From hiting it multiple times with big hammer, soldering tiny pars to again hammering it a bit more and than cuddling it after it’s finished (or is it finished? ). Please don’t stop there. We want to see triple, we know it’s doable! :heart_eyes:
Thanks,
This one is DONE.
Has had several phases of mods, last was the charger.
No triple on this sad little battery. I use this light the most.
Should still be under $30 total in parts and light. Count in my time it would be close to $400.
I was gonna quote The Miller’s ” It’s done when it’s done, ” in the previous post. But just said it’s Done
Well, it’s pretty much a smaller D1 with a charger. Wish it was 18350 but the 1100mAh are NLA.
Someone may have asked this already, but on the Ali Exp page it says:
“Chocolate rolling flower, feel fine”
Is this a coded message, or does one get a chocolate flower with the light? If the latter, I am keen to get one. I have never tasted Chinese chocolate.
Yeah Emisar D1. I thought the “1” was single emitter, “4” was Four emitter. Thats why I said D1. But my thoughts were D4 size single emitter. Short bezel, short reflector inside. May as well go small on the head OD too.
Shhh, don’t tell where the Aspire 18350’s are! I just got 8 from IMR last week. But the 1100mAh Aspire and Keeps arent made anymore.
LOL, guess I shouldn’t tell you that I am using some Old Trustfire 700mAh bought back when the XR-E P4 was New. 6 years old? Still hold rated capacity. Have been UN-protected and re-wrapped recently. If I were to buy more today, I would get the $4 red Efest 700mAh sold by IMRbatteries, Li-IonWholesale or Mountainelectronics.com Made with flat or button top.
I just got my M3 clone in the mail today. The finish and overall quality on the exterior is very nice. It had a charged battery (3.6v) in it and came on as soon as I pressed the button! Good thing it didn’t get bumped during shipping.
I was trying to see if it had LVP, but I’m not sure. At around 2.9v it would flash the main light 3 times and keep doing that every minute or 2. I didn’t see any switch lights come on. Finally at 2.6 volts I decided to stop testing.
From 2.6 volts I charged it on my Miboxer C4-12 and got a capacity of 537mah. Compared to the 670mah to 680mah of my yellow OTR M3 battery.
I dont believe these torches shut of at low voltage. When the low voltage flashing started I kept the torch on for an extended period and it would not shut off just kept giving the low voltage warning flash. Also it would not charge the battery in the one I tested at much below 3 volts. I had to charge mine in a charger to up the voltage before it would charge in the torch.
Thanks, hmmm…Do you recall seeing this photo description in the listing before? I’m wondering if it has been upgraded since this is the very last thing at the bottom of the the listing.
I sent the question to JAXMNVE, awaiting answer (hope I get a reply)
If I recall correctly, the modes where differently advised in the photos, so perhaps they did change the UI.
L-M-H seems much useful than L-H-Strobe!
If you get an answer from JAXMNVE, please let us know
