Ah…not that interesting then. 
Yeah, I like your idea better 
You can now enter your modded lights in the Old Lumens Competition too.
Not much of a mod, but here’s what I just did. We’ll see what it does tonight.
A $0.59 bowl from Target. I think it would be better if the bowl was a little more translucent. I drilled it out with a 2-1/2” hole saw and trimmed the edges a little with an Exacto blade.
LT1 on level 3, getting a little darker here….
You’re right (and you’re not). A white or translucent bowl would reflect more light, and maybe even let some light through. On the other hand, the green gives it that good old times appearance. In daylight it looks very pretty.
Totally agree here. I've done 1 or 2 mods in somewhat similar fashion but they never come out look'n as good as yours, Catnap! It gives me ideas though of using straight single strand wire instead of the coated 30 AWG multi-strand wires I had been using.
I sprayed the underside of the bowl/shade last night. That does make the illumination on the table worksurface brighter and removes the greenish cast. I have picked up a couple of other colors as will drill them out sometime today. Photos later.
One of those 3 for $1.80 flashlights, pimped with rngwn’s warm LEDs
Direct driven, three AAAs. 110mA each LED 
Nice, that must be about 200 lumen of extremely pleasing illumination.
Yes 
But I’ll see where I can add a resistor.
Sweet :sunglasses:
Simple mod last night.
Lumintop EDC18
- Swapped out the Nichia 219C high-CRI LEDs for three 4000K XPL HI taken from an Emisar D4. The Nichias have great CRI and tint. Unlike the SST-20, the 219C doesn’t become greenish at low power. Unfortunately, the Nichias just aren’t that bright and have little throw. I find I prefer the extra punch of XPL HI.
- I also replaced the stock one-piece plastic optic with a Carclo 10507 and glass optic.
- I swapped the stock tailcap for one from an early model black Emisar D4. The thread pitch is the same and it fit nearly perfectly. There was a slight gap at the bottom which I bridged with a piece of solder braid bent into a c-ring. I swapped the tailcaps since I don’t like magnets for pocket EDC. I don’t want to demagnetize my wallet if I put the light in the wrong pocket.
Sawed another hole in another bowl.
My wife likes this shade better than the other. But as Henk4U2 stated, I think the darker green looks kind of nice in room light. The shade is easy to swap though.
^ I like that! 
What KB said. 
Nice bankers lantern .
If you recall my 14500 fw3a from last week (a modded Nitecore D10 with custom fet+1 driver running anduril) I’ve now completed the mod with aux leds.
Add on aux board? We don’t need no stinkin aux board!
Installed and wired
Finished. Pic was taken hastily so it’s not directly head on, the main led is centered but because of how I had to do it both aux leds are offset to one side
This light is for sale. I’m also building one additional that’ll be for sale too.
I know it’s nothing fancy but I’m new to modding and I wanted to post my mod. I still have a lot to learn and this thread is a fun read. I know this is a pretty simple mod for a lot of posters here, but I feel a sense of accomplishment with this build. Removing the factory solder from the pill was probably the hardest part. Lol

Nice job, and much better than what I made when I started modding.
