thanks guys!
i am sorry for the bad quality as i only have my mobile phone for videos…
i have to find another lightsource - the LEDbulbs i used (IKEA) seem to flicker a bit
i will do the S70 in a similar way (hopefully with less silver Fingers…) soon.

Hey mate nice video thanks.

You could try an R1 or R050 SMD resistor to lower the amps a little.

Everything was great except for the silver fingers. You should amputate them right now.
Hey, good review. I like that light, it seems like a solid build.

Does the solderblob have effect on the lower mods? Or just onthe high mode? Does it still have the stepdown timer?

Whoops, I’m a dummy, I did not notice that. I thought it was just manufacturer specs. Thank you!

Martin,
Does the turbo step-down kick in at 3 minutes or does it step down sooner?
How hot (subjectively) does the modded S50 get when it reaches step-down?
Does the modded S50 continue to heat up, even after downshifting to the high mode? If so, does it step down a second time (from high to medium)?
I wonder how well the turbo step-down works for the modded S50 and whether the flashlight will overheat when left on high.
Great work, BTW!

Did you measure the KCD/throw before the mod? Interested in this with the great price of the group buy, but i want to know how much throw it has.

Hi, does the S70 use the same driver, so it is moddable in the same way?
Cheers!
