268w is up there. Depends on how much voltage droop youāre getting under load. Still, itās big Power for 3 cells 
I discovered that my original inside-the-spring 20ga wire bypass on the switch as broken so I did a through board bypass with 18ga wire by modifying the large switch and itās housing to let the fat wire fit into the tail cap assembly.
Now, with freshly charged Trustfire 32650ās Iām seeing 14,628 lumens out the front. Iām going to have to call that success, being as how itās a little more than 10,000 lumens more than the stock light was making with itās 12 XM-L emitters. 
That is a great flashlight, Dale! It must have been tough for you not to put tons of copper in it, even to the point that I like it now :heart_eyes: 
From me not a mod, but an observation. My first triple build, back in 2013 was a Convoy S5 with Nichia 219A 4500K high CRIās on a Illumination Supply triple non-DTP board (Noctigon triple DTP boards were not there yet) and a Qlite driver with 4 extra chips (there were no BLF developed FET-drivers). It is still my most used light, I use it attached to a small stand to illuminate things all the time, for hobby and photography, but also on trips it goes in my luggage. But it is never been mis-treated or anything. It is also one of two triples that I made without glass lens to protect the optic. And look at it now, scrathed, bended and cracked (still works fine though), Iām glad that all my later triples have glass lenses, to protect the optic from bending and scratching, it keeps the light more waterproof too.
Thanks Jos, can you imagine how heavy it would have been with a 3ā Copper heat sink? OMG! lol
I ādowngraded ā my Convpy L6 from :
XHP70 1C shaved dome
To :
XHP50 J4 5B
I donāt have any means of measuring Lumens or Lux, but to my eye the spot looks more intense.
Nice work Khas, the spot does indeed look more intense and defined. Cool! 
I just got through messing around with an old 3D MagLite that Iād modded before. I put a press fit copper heat sink in the top of the battery tube quite a while back with a COB on it. Using 3 26650ās to drive it from a Zener modified 7 mode driver the COB didnā t like level 7 and would go blue very quickly. The tint was warmer than I like anyway, so today I pulled the COB and put 3 XP-L HI on the big copper sink, wired in series to run the 3 big cells. I used a Ledil Laila 50mm triple optic, kind of a bugger getting everything lined up but the beam profile looks nice so Iāll take it. 4400 lumens out the front.
Not a flashlight but LED light none the less.
Made some bayonet bulbs out of some T10 (194). Cant buy the Warm White tint I wanted in that BA9s base so I made some. 8X 5730 SMDs 12V DC in WW.
Will be City lights inside the European spec headlights in my 1983 VW Jetta. Oh, the ā68 bus will get a pair too.
Interesting. And what part did you modify?
Isn't it obvious?
Today, PhilipSmith modified the concept of this thread to SPAM a Tank007 photo. 
Eight out of nine posts from PhilipSmith are Tank spam 
and the other one is only two words that have nothing to do with the thread topic.
hmmmm, what did I mod today, nothing flashlight related just put together a holder for welding glass to go on the front of my camera lens for long exposure photos :sunglasses:
Cheers David
Did my first mod last night. E bay cheap zoomie with lattice brite.
Put in a xp-g2, 3d tint with qlite driver.
Now brighter than a lenser p7.2 for less than half the price. Pleased with the result, will try my hand at something bigger at some point.
That sounds like a great start of a healthy modding career!
Yep, sounds like youāre hooked Mstevens113 
nice.
I got some 26350 cells yesterday. I modded a supfire L5 with an LD-2 driver and xhp70. Havenāt finished yet, I screwed up the switch retaining ring trying to remove it. Also you might note the led is off centre, I did this intentionally to reduce the donut hole.
A few days ago I modified my Ultrafire LZZ F13, I put in a XHP35 HI with a suitable driver; a whole other world! Very satisfied.

The next item on my DIY driver wish list is an Attiny conversion for the ax2002 buck driver boards. HQās boost boards fill that other side already. That would give us an inexpensive 1A boost and 1A buck driver both with programmable modes.
Installed a17mm MTN FET driver in my Manker E14 and used the BLF A6 driver in my Trustfire mini 02 triple XP-L.
I also modified an Xtar MC1 Plus with a voltage indicator and changed the sliding internal current switch to an external clicky so i can control whether it does the 500mA or 1A charge rate.
Normally this charger only charges cells longer than 53mm with the higher current setting.
I find this useful if i want to charge a 16340 or 18350 IMR cell a bit quicker.
CRX, your mods are the coolest IMO.
Simple, yet effective, useful and always well realized !
Your passion for epoxy glue, neodymium magnets and tidying everything up really reminds myself
I wish I had more free time (well I used to) to keep modding everything like you do.
I recently read why you got so much free time, so it helps to put things in perspective.
Keep modding, you give me ideas that I may have the time to realize one day
XP-G3ād my Lumintop Tool. Mounted on a 11mm copper sink pad with a little bit of MX4 for thermal compound. Just love it now. Does seem brighter and nicer tint then what came with the Tool.
Going to use the original xp-g2 from the Tool mount it on copper and use it to make a P60 @ 2.28 AMPs
My first flashlight mod in 3 years so I thought iād start with working on my smallest lights. Seems my soldering has improved lol
Had to Trim the Plastic centring ring on the sides because they covered the wire pads
Stove in the background is my official new reflowing station LOL
I modified a piece of Gr 2 Ti into a Skunk beacon Saturday.
(tempting to leave it at that for curiosity sakesā¦)
Working on an upgrade to a Ti flashlight I built recently I was removing the large piles of Ti cuttings and placing them behind me. The Ti has a way of staying in one piece throughout the cut, sometimes going below the cutting insert and sometimes curling around and piling on top of it. Luckily I had dumped my catch box and only had a small amount of shavings in it, as some of the Grade 2 Commercially Pure Titanium stacked up on the cutting tool and caught on fire. I knocked it off the work piece and it fell into the box below, only to catch itās contents on fire as well! My cutting oils and a gallon of WD-40 were right there, so the box had to be removedā¦ singed the hair of my hand as the flames rose to about 2ā tall with the new ti cuttings catching fire but I got it out the door onto gravel where it could safely burn itself out. Moments later, flames still going and smoke drifting, Iāll be danged if a skunk didnāt walk right past the box and come into my shop! It totally ignored me (must be related to my wife), wandered back behind me towards the front door. I had no choice but to vacate.
I guess there were some copper cuttings in the box as well, the flames got low and the box burned away, leaving some small orange flames with a brilliant emerald green flame mixed among it. Beautiful really!
Crazy stuff. I wasnāt even using oil or cutting fluid at the time so it was pure titanium overheating and catching on fire. Who knew?
How remiss of me, can at least show the finished light even without pics of the fire or the skunk, right? lol
