What did you mod today?

I have a couple m43s laying around. Reflowed one from 219c to 219b. Amazing rose flood.

I replaced the XP-L Hi star in my Klarus Mi7 with a SST-20 (4000K) from Simon/Convoy (had to reduce the diameter of the star a bit).

Ultra-basic beginner mod but it’s where I’m at :slight_smile:

Brass lighter mod I did yesterday.

Wow nice build! You make the spacer?

Super nice!

I am contemplating a similar build with the M21A.

Beam shots??

Stunning!
You give me idea for my unused zippo :+1:

Is that a switch (the cylinder shaped stuff)?
I’m thinking about using reed (magnetic) switch for my future build.

Yes .
Yes, but only for myself, it’s just a hobby …
I’m not going to make money on it.

Yes it has three switches, you can see it working in the linked thread :+1:

I used a Sanrenmu knife clip and put it in one of my Convoy S2+ :wink:

Switch PCB is modded back to 2P battery. In the past i removed the copper layer on 60% of the switch side. So i had to fix it. Used a 0,1mm copper sheet, soldert 2 layers together and glued it on the pcb with thermal glue. Then i were able to install the new switch and the new metal button. Needed a spacer to make it work nicely. But i did not have the right material on hand. So i had to make one brass spacer 2mm and one copper 0,5mm. Soldert both together and made it fit to the aluminium Tailcap. Now i am waiting for some GITD powder to fill the space arround the metal switch button. And the new pill from Kirill that seems to be stuck in customs. But untill then i will remove the red marked area on the pics to make the tube more flat on both sides.

Put some magnets on the Sofirn C01’s I have. Bought here (Convoy Store):
Used a drop of super glue to fix the magnets in the lights!

Rebel Lime in a Convoy C8+ on a LD25 3A driver. I wanted to use one of my old D80. But the 17mm driver was not a good fit. Even with almost empty battery the rebel lime is pulling the full 3A. It is still not 100% centered. But it is looking fine as it is now.

So… what is Rebel Lime good for? I mean, is it an aesthetic choice, or is there a practical purpose?

To put out a lot of lime colored light :sunglasses: Kidding! I really have no special use for it. But i find it more interesting to work with a led i never used.
And i like the green/lime colored leds. So i had to get at least one Rebel Lime. To bad that the MCPCB is a Aluminium board and not a Copper DTP
Waiting for new boards from Neven to complete a few more color light mods.

I have a load of (20mm) Rebel Sinkpads doing nothing, I can send you some if you like.

With the rebel does the star have to be a little off center to properly center the dome of the LED?

Reminds me of my Quarks and Jetbeams… :smiling_imp:

Tint is almost as bad as some white CREEs
