Video series - Modding the HD2010

Top notch detail. Definitely needs a sticky! This looks to be the start of a great series of a mod walkthrough with tips/pointers. :star:

Justin, that's a really good video! Not that I have'nt tried to do the stuff before, but you manage to explain just everything needed to understand. Your speed is just right for non native English speaking people and at the same time I was never bored. What impresses me most is that you can always find the right words to say every moment in front of the camera.
I look forward to seeing more videos from you and - don't change anything (I don't mean the flashlights).

Is there a way to make a light like this a twisty? Then put a TIR with an XP-G2 in the tail cap, such that light would come out both ends when twisted together for a connection? Or possibly one end in mode 1, the other end in mode 2?

A prank. :stuck_out_tongue:

Part 2 video is in the OP now.

EDIT: Also Part 3 is up and the rest will be up in an hour or so.

That was good for a nice laugh when you held the copper braid in your fingers and soldered the other end in place! :slight_smile:

If you hold the copper braid just above the point your going to solder with the needlenose pliers, it keeps you from burning your fingers and also stops the heat from climbing in the wick…which would allow solder to climb the wick and make it stiff.

Of course, Justin knows this but it might help someone new avoid a blister on their fingers. :wink: Once you’ve done it for a while, like Justin has, it’s not easy to burn a blister anymore.

All 5 videos on the first mod are up and ready.

Second mod to start soon.

Wow . What an informative and entertaining series of videos !

Thanks , man .

I like you way you commentate . Mmm Hmm .

OL, that is one of the best tutorial series I've ever seen. Clear, concise, and inspirational to say the least.

It just might get this old man to do his first ever extensive mod!!

I'll be watching for the group buy on this one.

KUDOS !!

PS: yeh, gotta solder those emitter wires before you turn it on...LMAO

All the videos are done.

That's it folks.

Wow! Thanx OL. :slight_smile:

Has the group buy for the HD2010 started already? :stuck_out_tongue:

Nope, not yet. I am waiting to hear back from tmart on prices. Should be very soon.

Very nice tutorial for beginners, nice job :slight_smile:
Now, about the GB, any prediction on the price?
61K lux translates to how much meters of throw?

Thanks again, I am eager to see GB terms :slight_smile:

Thanks for going to the effort on the vids. One question. How did you earth the 7135 driver to the copper pill?

Great videos, thanks for taking the time to record.

Glad the copper pills are being used, sorry they’re not completely smooth where they contact the PCB.

I am now ready to try a mod after watching your excellent video on how to mod.

I’ve just ordered two C8 Convoys for modding. Thanks to your videos it might go as planned and very smooth.
:bigsmile:

I would guess price at about $20-$24, but I am not sure till I get confirmation back from tmart. My concern is if they have enough lights to fill the requests. I told them from 50 to 100 at most. I should hear something more definite in another day or two. I got an answer last night late, but it was the wrong answer, LOL.

:bigsmile:
Guess they were like “What the… 50 to 100?

I’ve watched it all and I must say that I enjoy in your voice and the way you presenting and sharing your knowledge and experience. Very informative tips for beginners :slight_smile:

Great videos!
Can you post a link to the soldering station you are using? I am looking for a decent affordable one, and if it is good enough for the great Old Lumens, I’m sure it’s good enough for me. :bigsmile:
