Thanks for the tip. I was able to reuse the plastic washer and installed a forward clicky with spring bypassed. Much brighter!(and more useless as it heats up even quicker)
I was wondering if XP-L will fit under the optics? Or you think I should stick with XP-L HI?
I was wondering the same, the new XP-L2’s might fit but i haven’t looked at it properly yet.
I did buy an extra optic so will probably install some higher powered emitters even if the optic needs modified a little :smiling_imp:
Hmm…Now I might wait until XP-L2’s available and wait for you to mod it first! :+1:
I guess if they do come out with XP-L2 HI then it’s a no brainer for me. No need to worry about the optics dedoming the LEDs.
This has been my dream light for a while now and I finally got one! I’m following your lead on some of the mods I’m doing as well. I hope you don’t mind. Acouple questions though. How do you like the forward clicky with the way the modes are set up on this light, and WHERE CAN I GET A TAILCAP LIKE THAT!! HAHA. Sorry but you took what I thought was a work of art and turned it into an absolute masterpiece! I’m serious about the copper tail cap thoughlol. Is it a one off or something? great work man. my hat is off to you.
Thanks friend, the tritium tailcap has a forward clicky in it and the 18500 tube has a reverse clicky.
I changed the driver to a MTN fet with guppydrv1 so it works nicely with either.
The 18500 tube I made from an 18650 extension tube, switch and copper wire.
Can you show us how you did the copper on the bottom and on the tail cap? I’d like to build one myself just like yours so any help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks
Ridiculously sexy
CRX,
The last picture (down-right)…was it there before? 
Yes it was there, I just re-arranged stuff.
Oops, I fail to remember that then, sorry :person_facepalming:
Anyway, that “all black” version is quite nice :+1: 
Any chance on showing us how you did the copper rings & tailcap??
Persistent aren’t you 
I can’t show you, some experimentation is required on your part but I used an 18650 tube, cut some of the threads off to suit the cell and switch length then made up some copper circles of the correct size and soldered them.
I placed them on the end of the cut down tube with some JB weld and spacing them with 1mm o-rings , removed the o-rings once hardened, applied more JB weld and smoothed off.
Another smaller copper ring from 1mm wire for around the switch boot.
Yeah that was done with cold bluing solution.
Can you provide a link to the 18500 tube you used? Anybody else familiar with it? I have a lot of 18500’s.
New tube and tail looks awesome 
What model# clicky switch is the black one you upgraded to? Tks!
Thank you!
Apparently they don’t fit the convoy lights so I’m SOL.
What model? You can usually fit these in lights with rubber boots that have a reverse clicky switch, it just requires a little work like cutting the nub off the boot, maybe a different washer and sometimes sanding down the retaining ring a little.
I put one in this S2+.
You just need to equalize the heights.
