Emitter swaped two Thrunite Ti3’s. These are very easy to mod, nothing is glued.
First one is a shaved LH351D 3500k 90cri from digikey.
Second one is a XP-G3 photo red.

Factory NW Ti3 on the left and LH351D on the right, set at 5000k white balance.
The NW has noticeable green around the cornea that the pic doesn’t show that much.

White balance set at 4500k.

Drver uses resistors for modes that can be changed to acheive different outputs.

modded SK98 clone with nichia 219c 4000k
2mm spacer for tailstand
GITD tape hand cut
beam shots with fixed focus&exposure
zoom
high
medium
low
auto focus&exposure
artifacts i believe are due to bad cut of GITD tape and the small footprint of LED and big hole of the brown spacer (KDlight text is projected on zoom)
soldered the tail spring to the brass cap/cup
Today I modded my original Convoy S2+ Desert Tan with a LD-x4 7A-9A driver and a Luxeon MZ 5700K 90CRI, both from led4power!
I kept the original pill with the Biscotti driver and XPL-HI led, and use another pill with a kiriba-ru custom retaining ring. The gasket is typical 3535 gasket filed to accomodate a 4040 led, like the Luxeon MZ
I like the tint, that is on the “border” of NW to CW, and specially it’s colour rendering! I would say it looks like a Nichia 5700K 90 CRI (although I don’t have mine installed to compare).
As seen in other experiences, this led creates a slight “donut hole”, even with OP reflector. However, that is more noticeable in close range. At distance (+5m), no problems!
Ugh now I ordered a few more just cause I know you are tinkering with the driver. Hope you ordered some extra resistors so I can ride your coat tails, lol.
YLP X1 xp-g2 > 219b 4500k
My first keychain that have an integrated pill. The bezel is glued, but can be unscrewed without the use of heavy equipment.
Mcpcb is aluminum and glued, but something very weak. Easy to clean. The driver does not need to be removed to replace the led.
Yes, this is the driver that was in this flashlight by default. That surprised me a bit too.
I’ve been thinking about something like this, but I don’t know how to sand a shelf that is “hidden”.
Besides, I prefer to power small lights with aaa, because I usually carry these with my keys and I do not have to remember to charge the battery.
I think I got you covered. :+1:
I ordered 20 of each value I picked. At digikey 10 was .15 cents so I just ordered 20 of each value. I could probably save some money buying one of those 172 value assorted resistor books from Ali.
You will like the ease of modding the Ti3 if your going to use the original mcpcb, if you go copper mcpcb then it will take a little more effort.
