What did you mod today?

I gotta take up fishin. Between the wife, my mom, and BLF, my Honeydo list is enormous!

A crude mod today, a hanging hook for my BLF-A6 bare 18350, made from a piece of iron. This light gets beaten up against my keys all the time, the finish does not have to be or stay pretty.


that’s pretty neat. How strong is it against deformation?

I can probably hang on to it, and if not, the aluminium will go, the hook will not deform.

How/from what exactly did you make it?

Really? How’d you do it?

It was a stiff iron pin from somewhere, chromed at first, but I heated it to orange colour with a blow torch to make the bends, then the chrome flaked off. Actually I think I could just as well have used a common nail.

That is one neat mod djozz. So simple but to me so creative. Love it.

Would that make you a chandelier? :sunglasses:

DQG Hobi UV & ZWB2 filter.

Xhere did you get your ZWB2 filter ? I can only found one cheap source for 20mm ones on GB…

That’s the ones i use, i carefully grind them into shape with a diamond wheel to fit.

I could use a 35mm, anyone know of one? I’ve got the Nichia NVSU333A in an X6 at ~ 3.6A.

Tonight I revisited my Jax X6 Hunter to fine tune focus from the MT-G2. Pulled the brass pill, removed the 20mm Noctigon and re-flowed 2 copper discs under a 25mm MaxToch mcpcb while mounting a new MT-G2. Using a tab off a large Omten switch, I extended the pads away from under the reflector. Now the reflector (having already been modifed with a square aperture to encompass the MT-G2 substrate) sits flat on the mcpcb and the hot spot is tight and clean. 11.5A at the tail from a pair of Basen 26650’s for 4571 lumens out the front. :slight_smile:

I have bought a 30mm ZWB2 filter on Aliexpress (for a UV led test rig), but have not seen 35mm yet.

djozz that is one crazy tailcap. Love it as psychedelic as it is. :slight_smile:

Thanks! It is not going to stay on my daily EDC, a bit too intrusive. I need to figure out a dedicated psychedelic mod for it :smiley:

Four color leds out the front?

hmm, you make me think, I like the idea of a quad light with a random bunch of coloured leds and the simple intl-outdoor colour driver, how about one nice high CRI white led (that is the practical boring me), a 365nm UV with small ZWB2-filter in front of that sub-TIR, and a weak-driven PC-amber led for the cosy illumination, and a cyan led, just for the colour?

nice Jos! love it! Now you’re making me want to build a crazy tailcap…… :stuck_out_tongue:
