Mine works exactly like yours.
But I thought “stepless dimming” means that the PWM can be ramped, E.G. like the Boruit RJ-02.
5 steps via press-and-hold are still steps, aren’t they?
Now I’m confused… 
“Stepless dimming” is literally the 5 different brightness levels. It is not like ramping or like the RJ02. It’s misleading, but no big deal.
Thanks to both of you for clarifying, I edited my post.
Yes the stepless dimming is NOT what you think it is . It's a pure poor translation on their part and has confused everyone who ever entered this thread .
It isn't a bad User interface and it's pretty simple to use .
- first click is medium mode…. so from Medium you have 5 basic options
- #1 wait a second or two and click again to OFF..so- [ med...then WAIT ….OFF]
- #2 don't wait at all and make a second quick click to high.....so - [ click click is med. then high .]
- #3 CLICK CLICK CLICK ... med / high / off /...bang bang bang /simple as pie . 3 normal clicks .
- #4 Click the light on to medium … and then holding down the button will cause the light to start cycling thru the lights 5 modes.(downward)~ med/low/moon?/high/not-so-high/med/low/notreallya moon/high/ etc etc etc . cycling works from any mode if you hold the button down .
- #5 Two fast clicks from any mode/even from off ...takes you into nasty Strobe /two more fast clicks into SOS mode /and two more into a nice slow beacon mode .
Thanks, Boaz!
I got my D10s direct from Boruit just this week. It’s a fantastic little light. I got a few as spares for modding and I’ll be putting an order in with MTN today for a TIR 60.
I’d like to grab a few warm LEDs on 20mm boards. Should I go with the Nichia 219C or LH351D? Will the stock driver be capable of driving both? Thanks for the input.
@CarbonCrew, if you want more flood/a bit more lumens than the 219C, get the LH351D.
If you want more throw and even better color rendition, I would advise buying the SST-20 4000k from Kaidomain.
@blueswordm Perfect. I think I’ll an SST-20 as well. 3000k with 95+ cri sounds great.
Can anyone advise me on removing the driver? I’ve got the threaded retaining ring out and have exposed the driver. I’m afraid to mash on it too hard. Does it thread in?
Why are you removing the driver? There’s no need to.
I’ve been experimenting with my D10’ with TIR’s. I tried the LH351D 4000K 95cri and I thought it was a bit too yellow for my tastes. The LH351D in 5000K was pretty darn nice. Nicer than the 219C in 5000K. Yesterday I tried a 319AT 5000K, wow it’s nice. I’m going to guess it was below the BBL because there was no green or yellow at all. It might have a tiny bit of pink or rosiness to it. Color rendition is the best I’ve seen. Anyway, I just thought I’d mention it.
I wanted to remove the driver in the event that the existing leads are too short. I’m not a fan of adding extensions and would rather just replace the entire wire. Removal might be unnecessary but I’m curious as well.
@quadruple That looks fantastic. I’ve got a TIR 60 coming, lh351d, 319at, and SST-20 on the way. Is that your video?
Changing the driver is easy, sorta. The real challenge is in keeping the built in charging.
The stock driver seems to be pretty darn good in my opinion, so I have not messed with it.
Charging board is untouched and works as usually 
That is nice. If you have any pictures of the driver install, it would be appreciated.
So, what size MCPCB does it use?
I’m tempted to put in my last SST-20 3500k inside of it, so buying one would be very nice to swap it in.
A 20mm with positive and negative wires on the same side. A 16mm fits fine, though.
He was asking about the mcpcb. That is the metal core printed circuit board that the LED mounts to.
could someone explain the differences between the 3 linked lenses? im after a pretty floody beam. seems like 60° is what people usually get… saw that there are 90° and 120° options for a couple of them.
at a couple bucks a piece, i can get a few different ones.
this will be my first light “mod” if you will. do i need anything else? o rings, etc? assuming im going to have to sand a bit off of them, and it will be obvious what needs to be removed. thanks!
Forgot i had bought this light, that just came in the mail.
With a little modding this really is a great budget light.
Comes with a horrible XM-L2 angry blue LED. Swapped out the star with KD 20mm MCPCB. Due to the layout i had to extend a wire.
Reflowed a XP-G3 R4 8A3 2700K on to it. Oh my rosy goodness that emitter has a nice tint 
And with a little sanding, the Convoy optics fit perfectly.
Mine came without a magnet, so i glued one on.
The anodizing is as expected from a ultra cheap light, very thin. And the machining has left some sharp edges round the bezel. But me being me, it was in for a sandpapering anyways. So those edges are now round and soft
For a light it’s pretty good. And with a few mods it’s absolutely awesome
I finally got a Boruit D10 from the official Boruit store on AliExpress: Boruit Official Store.
I received it quickly considering it came from China and was impressed right away. I recall reading all the (mostly) good reviews about Boruit and my expectations were surpassed. It was very bright, the head strap and headlamp attachment was comfortable/secure and adjustable, and the firmware was easy to use. There are enough levels for various tasks and the strobe modes are well hidden. The output appears to be constant, certainly much better than my cheapo Rayovac headlamp where the brightness annoyingly changes based on battery level.
I bought it planning on replacing the LED and lens, but after receiving it, I would’ve been happy as is. The LED was good and bright, but a little too cool white and narrow for what I wanted. I replaced it with a Nichia 319AT D440 70+ CRI 5000K and a 60 degree TIR lens.
Getting the LED out of the headlamp was very difficult due to the thermal adhesive, but eventually it came out.
The Nichia LED seems to be as bright as the original, but with better tint and color resolution. And the 60 degree TIR lens does a great job spreading out the beam with no hotspot. I am very happy with how it turned out. A great headlamp for around $15!
