Emitter swaped two Thrunite Ti3âs. 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 doesnât 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 âborderâ of NW to CW, and specially itâs colour rendering! I would say it looks like a Nichia 5700K 90 CRI (although I donât have mine installed to compare).
As seen in other experiences, this led creates a slight âdonut holeâ, 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.
Iâve been thinking about something like this, but I donât know how to sand a shelf that is âhiddenâ.
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.
Went to just throw the stock emitter in my modded D10 for now. Screwed on the tailcap and⌠instant 100%. Whoops.
Started troubleshooting and found that LED- was shorting to ground. Driver being bypassed completely. Eventually found the culprit was sloppy soldering at the LED- contact on the driver. Re-did the LED- and LED+ at the driver. Next issue was the light was just completely dead. I wasnât getting ground contact from driver/charger board to the body tube. Threw some solder blobs on the ground ring in a strategic spot and did another test-reassemble. All good now! The use of 22 gauge wire throughout, a probably crap-bin XM-L2, and rather long LED leads mean turbo isnât anything special on this - but thatâs not what this lightâs about.
I love having on-board charging for an Anduril light thatâs also a nice compact headlamp. Iâm tempted to, at some point, order a D25S and another of these driversâŚ
Edit: forgot to add, it has a nice sub-lumen minimum output. Must be the 1x7135 channel.
Second edit: went to turn in for the night and the red switch LEDs were bright. I decided to find out if they were proper Anduril-controlled aux LEDs. Googled up the user manual. Put the light into lockout and suddenly the LEDs are blinking (off, low, off, low, high, repeat). Awesome!
Good stuff Scallywag, glad you breathed new life into the Olight! That was one of the first lights I tried to mod, with my very limited knowledge at the time, and really could have chosen a better light to start with
