I havenât been around to know it, so I ask: this is an incan, right?
Iâm very interested in seeing the result as well.

Yes,mit was an oldschool mini-incan bulb. Probably cheaper than a piece of circuitry to boost the voltage of the AA-battery for use with a led.
I fixed my old bluetooth speakerâŚthe stupid microUSB charge port broke off the mother boardâŚ.so I opened itâŚsoldered in a tp4056 module, cut end off bad USB cable and wired inâŚclosed it upâŚyayâŚcan charge the battery and listen to my audiobooks on my drive to work
Thatâs the only thing I have modded latelyâŚ
I guess this counts as a mod
Iâm at the proof of concept stage, testing layout.
Iâm building a:
Itâs gonna have 9 x 18650 LG S3 2000mAh cells loaded when itâs done.
It has a 3A charge circuit, the 1A micro-usb took forever charging this many cells at once.
Iâm still considering adding a second emitter choice, so it can shift from orange to perhaps a warm white.
Itâs running on a Emisar D4 driver, flashed with the latest Anduril 2019-06-02 firmware. So it has all the blinkies.
The 4 leds are salvaged from a Orange Beacon light. All I can find is that they are â3Wâ. Have 4x XP-E2 P3 amber LEDs on order, for MOAR OUTPUT!
Still need to find something to cover the leds, to act as a diffuser. Something that can fold, or fit in the case when closed.
Looks impressive. Mind not to go through customs with that suitcase.

Haha, imagine that

Anyone know if it possible to buy a luxeon V 4040 gasket anywhere?
Tried M21A (stock 6A driver) with dedomed SST-40 from kaidomain. I didnât like the result, so after beam shots I put 4040 white flat instead (and it is awesome now)
One more build post for now.
Itâs C8+ and SST-20 4000K from kaidomain (fb4?). Throws almost as good as GT mini with low CRI emitter.
Led4power driver with thermal enhancement kit for Convoy S2+:
Beam shot - GT mini WW (measured lux: 38), 4040 white flat M21A (lux: 100), C8+ SST-20 (lux: 33%)
Moded a deodorant cover to make a GITD diffuser for my Wuben T70.
I applied some Montana GITD spray and a piece of GITD tape in the interior for a better fit on the bezel!
Changed the outter ring of purple peds to orange on this E07.
I fixed my sw45 triple RRT-01!

replacement driver from Jetbeam
my first mod ever
woohoo!
and now I own all sorts of modding tools and suppliesâŚ
I feel like dancing!
major thanks to pinkpanda, CRX and Clemence for the inspiration,
and to moderator007, SKV89 and pol77
for all the support and encouragement to learn to roll my ownâŚ
First mod? That is worth dancing about! Great job JS. Something tells me this may just be a beginning⌠(modding is addicting!)
Today I modded my PulseLabz Guardian Series Signature Gaming chair.
I'm not a gamer and I'm not a small person. Actually it was more of a repair than a mod. The gas piston failed after the first week. Two weeks later I had a new piston in hand. The kind people at Pulselabz also provided some written instructions.
"The first step is to separate the piston from the tilt-lock mechanism above. To do this, first raise the chair to the highest position you can with the height adjustment. Then find a friend to help you, both with one leg pushing down on the metal base and the other leg on the ground, wiggle the chair upwards and downwards in a rhythm, with one arm holding the height adjustment lever in the open position and the other arm holding the backrest until the piston separates from the top.
The second step is to separate the piston from the metal base. As your old piston can go in the trash, the method we came with will damage it but its okay. What you can do is take off all the casters/wheels, and then find a concrete parking spot block, then holding the metal base, hit the piston really hard against the concrete parking block and it should pop out upwards
Let me know if there's anything I can help with."
I chose another route:

Worked great.
Too many mod threads so now iâm re-posting to my favorite one, sad day:
Got one of my dark blue 0.3mA aux boards installed today. Compiled a hex file with aux support and the latest Anduril features like manual memory, two level lockout brightness, soft reset, etc. The version with MCU support isnât the most simple option but I did want the ability to turn it off.
Itâs sliced LH351D 5K 90CRI LEDs also.
Dark blue board looks great Do you have maybe beam shot comparing sliced LH351D 5K with other 5000K led?
This one is the longest build with many failures so far.
Long time ago I ordered S2+ CU. The plan was kiriba-ru triple with Luxeon MZ 5700K. I wanted patina, so coating was removed, not ideally, but itâs not bad. The light was nice, but kinda green and extremely floody. So it went to rebuild box.
New idea was 4*E21A 4000K & 5000K mix and kiriba-ru pill. Wiring those little boards is quite challenging. Tried four times and finally destroyed MCPCB. Thankfully I had one spare. So I reflowed those little yellow guys to their new home.
I wanted to use 60 degree optic. Some time ago in another build I glued the plastic holder (which came with the optic) to the MCPCB. This time I couldnât do it. Does not matter how hard I tried, the glue was all over leds. I cleaned the board and decided to use gasket for XM size leds.
Next day, finally:
Album with all (not many) pictures
Picture with beamshots of few lights (wall is not perfectly white):
Thatâs an interesting mod g_damian!
Which flux bin did you use for both the 4000&5000K?
And how many lumens does it make?

I used sm503-D220-L2-R9080 and sm403-D240-M1-R9080 from virence.com. According to 4x E21A 9080 CRI output test by Texas_Ace - Amazing tint and good output those leds should make 1585 @5A, so probably around 1200 OTF.
