I use flickr and although it is a pain to extract the links for use in inline images, they do offer links for a variety of smaller sizes of your uploaded picture.
Thumbnail Suffix Thumbnail Name Thumbnail Size Keeps Image Proportions
s Small Square 90x90 No
b Big Square 160x160 No
t Small Thumbnail 160x160 Yes
m Medium Thumbnail 320x320 Yes
l Large Thumbnail 640x640 Yes
h Huge Thumbnail 1024x1024 Yes
Also I found ‘r’ makes 1456 x _, also keeping proportion. So even bigger than the “huge thumbnail”
And I found another, ‘g’ does 728x_ with proportion.

“What did you mod today?”
I could better say; “what did I destroy today?”
Wanted to change the LEDs in de jaxman e2l for some LH351D’s.
First I desoldered the driver and wires.
Then I wanted to pry out the board.
I don’t know what type of glue they used but it doesn’t want to come out…
I lost my patience and went on a rampage, destroying the LEDs and led board.
And its still stuck in there.
Looks like I’m going to order a host and let this one sit for a while.
Ha Thijs, since the board is toast anyway, remove the driver and heat the head up to very very hot (not so hot as to decolour the ano) and see if the glue will give in.
It is much easier to sand a bit off the new board. I use a disc sander for that, but even by hand it should not take too long, you only need to go from 20 to 19 mm.
I got the new Sofirn SP33 today, they changed up the old version to the XHP-50.2 and made some small changes, biggest of which is the boost driver of course but also an Orange Peel reflector. Mine had a horrid beam profile, so I sliced and diced the 50.2 to not only clean up the aura but also warm it somewhat, it started out very cool white, almost with a lavender hue. After removing the dome, there was still a discolored greenish center to the hot spot so I made a different centering ring work and raised the reflector about 1 mm, not completely right but much better and I can live with it. I think it’s now making a little over 2200 lumens, pretty decent.
I had put an 50.2 in a Utorch UT02, sliced and diced it this morning before the SP33 came in so it’s been a day of cleaning up flip chip aura’s.
I almost sat down to do my first proper mod – two driver swaps on my older Convoy S2 and my single C8. Unfortunately I found out (thankfully ahead of time) that I need flux to make good solders
