Man thats Nice! Holly Molly!
I just changed the optic on my triple sw45 from pink panda. It now has the narrow clear and is making 410 lumens on a 16340… it was 360 with the diffuse optic.
I really like the narrow clear.
I also added a touch of nyogel 767a to the control ring assembly, and then sealed it up with some blue locktite, after swapping the driver to one of the new 2019 RRT-01 drivers, that has strobe.
The ring feel is even nicer than before… can be fine tuned with one finger, but has enough damping that it wont move unintentionally.
There is still the slightest grinding feel of the detente ball moving in the track but the rotation is nice and smooth. The off detente is snappy too. I can really feel it lock in, and it takes an intentional effort to turn the dial on. Then it rotates nice and easy, without being too loose nor too tight.
Im super happy to be learning how to lube the control ring for a good “feel”, to my taste.
Major respect to pinkpanda for this triple sw45 Original RRT-01… what a beam!
And thanks to CRX for the glow gaskets… I like the AcquaMan!
What a beautiful Light! thanks to all my friends on BLF for helping me get here

I was thinking about this, from another thread:
Good idea!
fwiw, when pinkpanda built those triple RRT-01, he also modified the optics to fit the RRT-01 head opening, which is smaller than necessary to fit a stock optic.
Im not sure if pinkpanda also reduced the size of the triple mcpcb to fit… seems likely… he did a ton of work without mention of reward, out of kindness towards the BLF community
.
I just stopped by mtn to see the size of the triple mcpcb, but I dont know yet what the size of the opening is in the head of the RRT-01
I note mtn also has spacers… wouldnt it be cool if one of them fit the RRT-01?
maybe someone (pinkpanda or moderator007) will chime in with some measurements on spacer size for RRT-01, compared to what mtn offers
I dont mind doing a bit of sanding… lol
like I did to fit the glow gasket

and for an encore, I would like to see trit slots through the fins of the Eye10 head. So that finned piece can be moved onto my PandaBuilt Triple sw45, Original RRT-01.

Trits would be groovy…
