Courui D01 mod - my way (picture heavy)

Winner! Mod of the Century, no, Millennium!

Man! Bravo!

Let me be the first to shake your hand. Just incredible handy work there!

Any interest in selling this?

great work!

waiting for the beamshots…

first, WOW :open_mouth:
second, how much extra weight did you ad there? looks like it could be used as a blunt weapon now.

Thanks guys for your comments :beer: .

Did some current readings but unfortunately with only two Samsung 25R-s. So the final result should be slightly better when the third one kicks in.
Levels from 1-6:

This great mod is now added to this thread’s consolidated mod threads at the bottom of the op: COURUI DO1 'Big Head' (Black/GRAY NOW AVAILABLE) $29.99 @ Gearbest ( use coupon: gbcourui) A long-throw modder's light!

It’s great to see another person’s take on a light that you are familiar with.

A lot of work went into this one, that’s for sure!

Well done, Cula :beer: :beer: :beer:

Wow, just wow! Great job!! I too love the look of polished copper! Shame to hide it in the light...

Does anyone know how well the Courui responds to a MT-G2? Primarily I am interested in maximum throw. I know that the mt-g2 is a very large led and can be difficult to get to throw well.

Everyone's already said it, but that is some great work. Lots of time, care and skill went into that one!

Fantastic work, Cula :smiley:

I am mightily impressed by your work. It’s super!
(…wish I had one, too :slight_smile: )

Artistry in Motion!

Found myself saying "Wow!" out loud at least 5 or 6 times as I read your post. Amazing work!!!

Thank you for your offer, maybe in near future. I have to get my hands on something new to work on before selling this one.

I Didn't weight it before but now it is 560g without batteries. It's heavy in hand.

This really took a lot of patience to finish. Like 2 months of patience .

Yes, it's a real shame. But it is now posted here on BLF where people will appreciate this kind of work. Good comments and a killer thrower is all I need.

Thanks Old-Lumens, I learned a lot from your posts and You tube videos. You are one of the reasons that I got myself into this great hobby.

It must be really satisfying when the solder traces polish out and just disappear 8)

Wow that looks awesome! I love heaps of copper!!

First dibs if you ever sell it! haha

Hmmm. Another one infected by OL. l guess we have something in common.

I one tried to solder 3 thin round pieces of copper together, but failed miserably.

Lots of air in between and places the solder didn't flow.. also I have no real vise. Just a cheapo from eBay. (Max do a is about 4- 5cm)

Are yours totally connected with solder? And how did you do it?

NO!!! I asked him first if he was selling it!!! So I get first "dibs"!!!
