Waiting for beamshots!
Just received the 3030 gaskets today, now wait for the 22mm 14x 7135 driver to put in my L21A
I made some long overdue changes to my modding area. It has moved from taking up about 1/3 of the kitchen table to this adjustable height sit/stand desk! Still a lot of cleanup and organizing to do but it’s much nicer already than what I had.
LOOOL I'm still fighting with my wife about kitchen table :) Only i have 50% of the table...
Thank you, I might try this when I get my FF E01.
Cereal_killer: Skylight:The Fireflies E01 has aux leds?!

Just be sure you request he installs the LED’s facing up, typically on the indirect boards he would solder them at 90 degrees.

Good to know, thanks. Did you change the firmware to the real Anduril or did you just connect the aux leds to the switch leds?
They’re fully MCU controlled, I had flashed real anduril literally on day 1 of owning it lol.

I hate the waiting part! but those 14x 7135 seem to work ok i have one in my Jax only issue is they seem to cycle in strange order Low, High, Medium
Hmm, we’ll see
It says Manta Ray…
Popped a white flat 1 into a SF14v2 for experimentation, no bother focusing and still impressive…
Astrolux S1 XP-L HI, Sofirn SF14v2 SST-20-W, SF14v2 CSLNM1.TG
6ft hotspot comparison
Update! cell phone tested (lux meter app) with a charged & rested EBL 14500,
15kcd startup & 13.9kcd at 30 seconds. 1.5amps at the tail, measured via thick cables and fluke dmm
It’s been a while since a mod made me grin a little like the first time I used a FET driver but this one did. Sometimes it’s the little things…
Light is a Sofirn C01S
12mm FET driver from MTN with guppydrv Rev2 (1.6mm PCB thickness)
Stock SST-20 4000K and thin AL PCB
The wires that came with the driver are around 24AWG I would guess and did just barely fit once trimmed to size. I spent more time sanding the diameter of the driver to fit than I did any other part of the mod. It’s thicker than the stock driver but seems to still work fine. 1.0mm might work but I err’d on larger, i’d have to re-measure stock driver.
Used some better thermal paste and solder blobbed a Vapcell 10440. It still made connection even with the “flat” top but I didn’t want it to rub the wrap any just in case.Turns on at over 425lm!
I suspect it can do better but i’ve never replaced the tail spring in a twisty before, any suggestions on how to get it out and fit another one? If I do that I may spend the time and try to make a kaidomain 10mm copper board fit but it would need modifying for LED wires and to be thinned out.
Really nice.
The BOSS of all lights succumb to a tiny crepe pan. This is now my 2nd “mod” that did not require a soldering iron. Granted this was much more delicate than the first but i’m counting it.
Before:
No soldering wires here. Can’t argue with what works I guess? Liberal application of thermal paste, good! Maybe too much but I wont take points away.
Sanded components, come on. AL board for a $110 driver? She’s thicc at least…
The tiny LED tower is actually super cool. The board is drilled and it’s pressed in a tiny hole. The tower has traces running up each side. It really makes this tiny LED appear to be something with much more output.
After:
Crepe ingredients: 1x 2700K, 1x 3500K, 1x 5000K LH351D 90CRI. Better refer to your pics of bond wires to figure out polarity cause I couldn’t make out markings…
One of the two tiny resistors just below the bottom pad tried to fly with his XP-L buddy. Thankfully I noticed and was able to push him back to his home before things got out of hand. Toothpick and just a touch of paste after cleaning her up.
Hey it worked, i’m a little surprised.
Adding some spectrum goodies here for future reference. I believe Oveready uses UCL lenses but this one is from 2016 Q4 so who knows. It’s a thick piece of glass so it probably is. Low (2W), Medium (6.5W), High (17W)
CCT = 3644K (Duv 0.0004)
Color Rendering Index (Ra) = 96.6 [ R9 = 84.4 ]CCT = 3680K (Duv 0.0001)
Color Rendering Index (Ra) = 96.1 [ R9 = 82.8 ]CCT = 3705K (Duv –0.0010)
Color Rendering Index (Ra) = 95.5 [ R9 = 80.2 ]
Alu weighs less than copper and if thermals are good enough it’s a perfectly fine choice. That said - I’m surprised as well.
Tool ti with 3000k sst-20. We will see if this one has less pocket activation than the copper tool with clicky.
Is it twisty or clicky with a flush button?

Unheard:Any idea how to take the head of the 2015 EagTac D25A apart?
I believe the A model has the pill pressed in from below the glass, and glued. Basically, no, it does not come apart. the D model has a bezel that unscrews but not the A model… afaik
I think you might be confusing the model names, there’s no D25D that i’m aware of?
My pre-2015 D25A has a removable bezel, just unscrews to give access to the reflector and then the MCPCB. Bit tight in there for a soldering iron though so make sure you have patience and a thin soldering tip when you come to do it. (Learnt that the hard way :D)
That’s for the Alu version though, i believe the Ti is a one piece head. Jon_slider, maybe this is what you’re thinking of?
Edit: Oh, and it’s a 14mm MCPCB.
I have a flip flop (sandal) nailed to a board for unscrewing hard to remove bezles. Press the bezle into the flip flop and rotate the body. Zero damage.
I never thought to use a flip-flop, even hand held it’s so much easier than the piece of rubber i’ve been using, top tip!
Loads of good tips and info in this thread btw, and i’m in awe of so many people’s skills and creativity, and patience! I generally refrain from commenting though else i’ll sound like an over-excited fanboy.

D25C is probably what was meant, rather than D25D.
I was told the D25A had a press-fit pill by someone, so I never bothered to pick one up. Can’t recall who said it, though I think they were talking about cracking some part of a D25A Ti
Edit: Read from here

Oh yes, the D25C would make sense!
As far as the A goes, even though Djozz is talking about the Ti version i suspect the Alu version also has the press-fit pill, the difference is that the Alu version has a removable bezel which gives some access to the LED whereas the Ti version doesn’t. (From what i’ve read, never had the Ti version to check).
Edit: Just realised Djozz mentions his D25A Ti on the previous page, didn’t see that until after i replied.
