What did you mod today?

:person_facepalming:

Language barriers, Aaaaagghh!

My favorite flashlight of all time. The Streamlight SL20X.

I think I finally did it right. Direct drive. XHP50.2 5700K

Raw aluminum version

Original Incandescent vs LED Drop In. Camera on full manual, same settings.

For 18650, VTC5D and 25S... The Best!

I got 30T's and 40T's - need to compare head to head.

You milled the adaptor?

Yes. On my new-to-me 1996 Milltronics Vertical Machining Center (which is really pis*ing me off) . Anyone here know Java Script? I need a translator. This old dog only has a couple of tricks left to learn and Java Script is NOT one of them.

Orsm video Bucket. Thanks for posting it up. Your enthusiasm is infectious and ability amazing. I have no doubt you will be on top of the programming soon. Maybe it will be a xmas present to you. :stuck_out_tongue:
You are seriously in a class above the rest of us here. :slight_smile: :beer:

I knew you would like the video :slight_smile:

Bucket’s the only guy I know that can carve a reflector out of bar stock without using a CNC machine. :wink:

Ok guys, my forgetfulness has me stumped on this one…. I have a little X5 with an AHorton aspheric on it, it uses Bistro with a 14500 cell but I can’t identify the emitter! It’s on a mtnelectronics 20mm MCPCB, sliced and diced, the substrate should clue y’all in as to what it is. I don’t recognize it to save my life…

Can anybody tell me what emitter this is?

No bond wires, no dot’s like on the Cree or Luminus emitters, it’s not a Samsung LH351D, it’s not a Nichia 219C, I just don’t recognize the dark grey/black substrate… ceramic no doubt but what is it?

Is it a luxeon V? I don’t have any of those but that is another recent flip-chip LED.

Edit: no, looks like the luxeon V has phosphor covering the whole package where in your it looks like it stops at the die.

I probably “diced” it when I sliced the dome off, when I do a vertical cut to remove phosphor from the substrate around the die I call it dicing, as it’s reminiscent of dicing onions or whatever. :slight_smile:

Slicing and dicing :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t remember ever having bought a Luxeon V though. I know I got my first mtnelectronics 20mm stars not all that long ago (ok, could have been a year or even two, my memory, you know, but I don’t think Richard has had his own MCPCB’s that long…. I could be wrong about that too.)

At any rate, this emitter being on an mtnelectronics star kind of dates it… to some degree.

I thought the substrate would give it away, need to look through the multitudes of emitters that CRX has documented I guess…

Any pictures of your home made threading tool?

The LH351C or LH351D looks like it. The lower right corner angled like that appears to be a good match.

I’ll have to take one next time I’m in the garage.

Wow! I watched some of the vid but not sure of your Java script problem. I haven't done much in Java, yet alone Java scripting. I've done some mods but never full development. Java scripting though is usually easier/simpler than the full implementation. I work in C# every day and Java and C# have a lot in common, least the language but the package/support stuff is vastly different.

Good video, I need one of those :slight_smile:

Very nice W, big time. The stuff dreams are made of… so, now, if you could only … (where to start)

LH351D would be my best bet too.
