What did you mod today?

Yep, Aurora it was :slight_smile:
Some of those old lights are still in stock at dx btw, but not this Aurora.

CRX, why didn’t you show it from the start?
Amazing. :slight_smile:

Well it’s a bit of a mess really, but it works :smiley:

So we finally get to see the ugly side of a CRX mod, he isn’t perfect!

Certainly not :smiley:

To me it’s beautiful. :slight_smile:

The outside is about beauty, the inside is about function. Both are outstanding (but who am I to judge).

I’m just giving him a hard time because of how refined all of his finished products look. However, if you look at hot rod car types or some other hobbies I assure you the inside is not always all about “function” to some :slight_smile:

I stuck a Samsung LH351D in a Zebralight SC64c.

I’m jealeaus!
:+1:

I bet THAT was fun Bob! Nice work!

Today my Uv LED arrived (and a few really nice leds are on its way to me) so i wanted to work out a way to solder the LEDs to the MCPCB (My selfmade hotplate with modded PC Powersupply was damaged because of a broken waterpipe that flooded my workbench a few month back). But i had a few spare heating elements, my old Aluminium Block (i grinded it out of a Amplifier Cooler) and i could revive the temp controller. Using a car battery for the ~10Amps draw and my vise to hold it in place. The right side is cold enough to touch when the left side is above 200°C. Worked like a charm Temp set to 198°C (overshoot to only 203°C with hysterese set to 5°C) . Now i should get a new Powersupply and some kind of case to make it nice.




That’s awesome Docc! Really good work on improvisation, you’re all set to go into the re-flow business now! :smiley:

Grinded down the zwb2 filter and removed most of the rough machining marks (where the MCPCB is placed).
Today i reflow the UV led and then i have to wait for the driver.


TOD’s hittin’ the mods fast & hard :+1:

Nice work Docc! Really cool what you can do with the glass lenses, neat set up for sure!

Twas a hard mod, TCLO on my zanflare T1!

Changed my D25c (again) to a sst-20 4000k and A6 fet driver. Pretty decent throw for the size of the light.

Putted Luxeon V in a GT mini. measurements coming in the morning. I hope it is around 9A and 2000 lumens.

Start with this:
2226 lumens GT mini

This is a Lumintop GT mini with Andúril firmware and a Luxeon V 4000K led on led4power DTP MCPCB.

GT mini driver:

Needed to grind the New MCPCB because wire holes didn’t match up.

Filed the 3535 centering ring to fit 4040 led


Left is a stock CW GT mini, and right is the Luxeon V GT mini

No picture but I bypassed the driver spring with a 22 AWG wire. Finally it draws 10,4A and puts out 2226 lumens.
