What did you mod today?

Thatā€™s 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.

Not much of a mod, but it looks pretty.

I swapped the battery tube and tailcap from a D4V1 Ti onto the head of a D4V2:

It ends up around 2,400 lumens with a ~4.05V VTC6

After slicing and using a 10511 optic:

CCT is between 3978K and 4130K regulated and 4371K turbo (FET)

Duv is between ā€“0.0015 and ā€“0.0007 regulated and ā€“0.0006 turbo (FET)

The hot spot is larger and more ā€œevenā€ than an SST-20 but less intense. A little more intense than 219 in a clear narrow optic I guess?

Itā€™s kind of nice how it tracks a bit warmer and lower Duv at the lowest modes and gets a bit cooler and very close to BBL at higher modes.

Built a Shorty S2+ for a night time Snake Hunter ā€”- Tint has a slight shift to greenā€”- :person_facepalming:

!! !!

:confounded: Yes but itā€™s a lovely green.


Was contemplating a spring bypass for my little SF14v2 but decided to try this instead. :sunglasses: double springs

Just a quick Convoy S2+ SST-20 4000 K mod today. Replaced the stock SMO reflector with a 60Ā° TIR and flashed my own firmware

Original SMO reflector:

60Ā° TIR:

(Both images with same camera and post processing settings.)

Oh yeahā€¦ :heart_eyes:

Opened a stock Niteye Eye10, removed stock reflector, installed replacementā€¦

Original reflector gave 550 lumens, replacement gives 625 lumens, same battery.

the kaidomain 21514 reflector has a tighter hotspot, smaller opening at the bottom, than stock.

I like this kaidomain 23424 reflector better, the hotspot is a bit larger but without the ā€œdonut holeā€ in the middle of the hotspot)

the replacement reflectors are slightly taller, the bezel does not screw down quite as far. Although still far enough to cover the O ring on the body

thanks to moderator007 for researching and finding these kaidomain reflectorsā€¦ much better beam, without the rings from the stock reflector (especially w N219b)

Whatā€™s that tool you used to help unscrew the bezel? Looks handy!

it came from darksucksā€¦ oveready sells them too

they are made for slightly larger diameter lights, hence the bits of leather I addedā€¦

super convenient tool, that was my first test to see if they would be strong enough to break open a stock factory glued bezelā€¦ so farā€¦ winner! Its a size specific tool, dedicated to my RRT-01 accumulation

does not hurt as much when I drop on toesā€¦ plus these are not as easy to pop on and off, but they have a more ā€œuniversalā€ fit:-)

FW3 NovaTac Work Light (the final version) :person_facepalming: Maybeā€¦ā€¦

:sunglasses: :+1:

I have a feeling you really want an 18350 FW3Aā€¦

Fixed that for yaā€¦

:smiley:

sweet mod!

thats what he has now :slight_smile:
the novatac fits 18350, now that he got rid of the stock driver and signal spring

Yepā€¦Vapcell 18350ā€™s kick booty and itā€™s very dependableā€¦.never misfires, taken it apart hundreds of times, the retained style tail cap of the NovaTac is what the FW3A tail cap should have beenā€¦

Yes please :smiley: :innocent:

First of the yearā€¦
Bought this cheepie headlight from one of BigClive teardown vids on YT.

Pretty neat has the hand wave on off option. Other button is Hi, Lo & strobe.
Neat light for what it is and the 1200mAh lipo made it worth the $8.
Cut down a Noctigon XP 20mm, flowed a L1V2 4000K on it and put some real wires on the battery.
Nice light weight light and it will get used.

Yeah guess you need a beamshot too. Not a fan of a headlamp with a hot spotā€¦ might sand the clear lens to help diffuse the spot. But I just got it todayā€¦

Nice one! My kind of mod. Got a few hacked up and modded cheapo headlights myself.
