What did you mod today?

Similar to DB but used the U4 1C on a 20mm Noct in an eagle eye x6. Replaced the faulty switch and tried an LDCH LD29. As above great throw and good color. It almost looks like a 1A cross B tint. White with a faint yellow ring.

A friend of mine wanted to have his little bike light repaired. Here in Holland we have those tiny 2xCR2032 5mm led bike lights that are strapped around the handle bars. His one went dead and it appeared just a bended battery contact. Bended it back and it works fine again. :slight_smile:

This was too easy so I left a souvenir inside…

The annoying rgb led is conquering the world!!!

:smiley:

Modified a KRONOS BLF Limited Edition Aluminum X5 into a Quad Nichia 219C, 2960.1 lumens out the front on Turbo, 0.24 lumens in moon.

I used a 1 1/2” dia 6061 bar stock to re-create the reflector into a heat sink for the quad mcpcb. On this one, I even threaded it so it screws in just like the OEM reflector does. Replicated the ramped shelf up top for the o-ring to maintain water proof specs as well. Very little difference in weight, a LOT of difference in output! The Bistro UI still works fine, so it has the police strobe and bicycle strobe in the hidden group. I used larger ga wires throughout, 20ga Turnigy including spring bypasses top and bottom.

Love it when a little light kicks butt! The AA size Efest purple IMR14500 is a really capable little cell, for sure.

A work of art for sure! Beautiful!

That’s nice work Dale. Is aluminum sufficient in that application?

A very nice quad you made! That threaded dedicated heatsink should be made for sale somehow! (but adapted to the thickness of the new Cutter quad board because Dsche’s copper quad boards are not available anymore)

Where do I get the Cutter quad boards?

Probably from Cutter.

This must be the most amazing thread on BLF!

OK I am eyeballing this

I hate the color, would it bake to a nice gray or would that childish camouflage still be visible?

the camouflage finish is probably painted (like the camo sk68’s a while ago), so the paint will probably just burn.

Dedomed 219C

I put together my first triple :smiley:
Blue S2+, illuminated tailcap (blue), BLF A6 driver, homemade copper spacer, triple Nichia 219C on Noctigon and Carclo 10507 optic. Both springs bypassed.
Incredibly bright, even with a Samsung 26H (tested at 5A max current on CPF).
I didn’t measured the tailcap current, my ammeter is not reliable at high currents.

Well done

I bored out the battery tube on my Xeno Cube triple to accommodate an Efest 16500 effectively doubling capacity.

Rofis JR20 triple

Still working on upgrading most of my EDC lights to triple XP-L HI

Jetbeam RRT-01 triple, Eagletac D25C Ti triple and Sunwayman V10R Ti triple

Really sweet mods !
That Xeno is sexy with its triple emmitters !

Love the lighted tail cap in the Convoy S2+, awesome!

Just installed the mcclicky kit that came in the mail this morning into a maglite tail cap.

This should be good enough right??? Haha time to make a cup of tea and head downstairs to play lathe.

Thank you, I made it with some 3mm LEDs (dremelled down ), and standard resistors. It’s a tight fit and had to try many differents values to find the compromise between good illumination and working modes (backward/forward is tricky when you add some resistors…)
