Heavenly work from CRX again! And descending back to us mere mortals: nice job pc_light, good to see that all those 5mm lights lego with each other. I still hope for a C01 host version soon.
Built a light engine for a Crelant 7G5 and used a new 90.2 in itā¦ totally forgot about the high power glitch in a Bistro driver and didnāt address the driver Iād built for it years agoā¦ it glitches going into level 6 of 7. Ugh! Going back in this morning to correct that memory lapse.
Be careful! I donāt think you are supposed to operate on yourself 
New CFexpress card installed through left ear, memory and read speed greatly improved! 
Ok, so for the Crelant 7G5 SBT-90.2 build I got the new driver built and the fix for Bistro on it, rebuilt the light and am very pleased with the resultsā¦
A big part of the choice for using this light was the tail end, as it holds a heavy duty Tofty switch. These were built in England some years back and were $25 apiece! Worth it though when you need a quality switch that carries serious power, as this light now doesā¦ A Samsung 25S cell gives 23.2A at the tail for 4240 lumens out the front. Lux is 352.5Kcd for 1187.43M throw. I Like It!
I built a light engine/heat sink to replace the emitter shelf area and I made it about an inch longer than there was room for, bored the end of the battery tube to accept this extra length and tie the heat sinking into the battery tube. 
I needed a spacer as the tube is still longer than an 18650, so I used a .458 Hamār brass soldered onto a switch board, the board keeps the spacer centered and the heavy BlueSword spring contacts the brass screw in the Tofty switch.
In the Crelant 7G5 the reflector has a 53mm opening and is approximately 55mm deep, this yields an excellent hot spot that is fat and well defined, the beam profile is a tube/column of light much like a very fat laser. Will get beam shots later tonightā¦
What with multiple interruptions it was somewhat of a hassle to build, but well worth it in the end! A great update to a nice old light, very happy with itās performanceā¦ I just need to find some more Samsung 25S cells now. lol
Ooh la la 
Very nice! If the upcoming FT03 with this leds performs similar I will be a happy camper!

CRX DQG Titanium 10180, 10280, 10440 Pocket Charger/ Spare cell carrier.
This titanium spare cell/ pocket charger, being modular can carry and charge 10180, 10280 and 10440 cells.
It has a 100mA charge rate.
Made from a DQG titanium pill capsule & extension pieces plus a charger unit from a 10180 rechargeable flashlight.
The section with the brass rings can be removed & used to extend the laser to use a 10440 cell and the remaining sections will still house the other 10280 cell that the laser normally uses.
This is made to accompany my:
CRX CuTi Osram PLTB450B 450nm 1600mW - OFBD 1.6A - 10280 - Mo Tail Sw - 1600mW Laser.

I also made another couple of wee titanium gadgets for my keyring.. :)
CRX Titanium Magnetic Extendable Keyring Pen

CRX Titanium Magnetic Extendable Keyring Toothpick
Nice stuff CRX! Have you already seen your designs nicked and produced in China? Maybe start the CRX Gadget Company.
It was sort of the other way round this time.. :D
I always had the True Utility telescopic pen but wanted a titanium version, then I saw the toothpicks when searching.
I think I did invent the worlds smallest extendable titanium ferrocerium rod though :)
Since I had another Luminus SBT-90 Gen 2 to do something with, I modified my scratch built 124mm reflector light, DBC-07.
A write up on it HERE.
So now itās the largest BLF Q8 ever! lol
And it easily hits a hay barn at 1.02 miles distantā¦
I tested it with Samsung 18650ās, both 35E and 25S, it makes from 4300 to 4800 lumens and a quick 5M test (too close I know but it was still daylight) shows 1.71Mcd!
Edit: Worth mentioning that the beamshots here and on the write up were done using the 35E cells at lower output. I have new 25S cells arriving todayā¦ the ones I tested with have been, well, Hamāred!
Today I put a Oslon HX Boost HL in my GT Micro. I had bad luck getting a good focus, but it still more than doubled in throw compared to the XPL-HI NW.
It out-throws the FT03 with 50.2.
Before with stock XPL HI NW:
After Oslon HX Boost HL mod
I think thatās the HL.
Yes, Boost HL.

Another Jet II MK. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is my very first reflow 
Some time ago I modded my C8 (SMO to OPR and XP-L Hi to XHP50.2, A6 driver) and was left with a very nice XP-L Hi U6-4C MCPCB. Now this LED resides on the original board of the Jetbeam. Iām really proud 
.
Edit: Yeah, I see itās not centered 
Looks good to me Unheard. Congrats on your first reflow!
Thanks . Now I know why I ordered some 219B .
Mine was worse. Congrats!
