Could I cut a piece of aluminum stock such that one end is narrow enough to fit through the boot hole in the tail cap and the other end threads in to the switch retaining ring threads, this to enable mounting an assembled light in my lathe. (all parts removed of course) then with it spinning up, hit it with a map torch being careful to distribute the flame evenly. Would probably be quicker and stinkify the house less as I’d be out in the shop. lol
Well there’s no active plan to produce a built L6 shorty but I did just talk to Simon about the single cell short tubes with the block style knurling. Simon is going to have the factory make some. These will be available as a stand-alone item in the Convoy store. The single cell short tube will work with both the L2 and the L6 for anyone that want’s to build a short L2 or L6. I’ll add an update and a link the OP and a note in the L2 and L6 threads when it becomes available.
I used the highest power of the oven. Complete disassembly is required. Do not forget any o-ring or you will get some smoke. Before baking I wash all parts thoroughly with soap and water.
I used the same time in all pieces, ring included.
Teacher, remove batteries, remove reflector, unbolt mcpcb and pull up and off head, so no contact with host, install batteries and try it. Do it fast not to overheat emitter.
You guys were right, I contacted Simon regarding the problem with driver in Convoy L6 and he immediately jumped in to help and sent me a new driver for free.
I can not brag enough Simon will for assistance and support in everything related to his products.
Right about here is where I’d be stripping all the components off the driver that’s acting up and piggybacking an Zener modified FET driver on top of it for a tail-clicky-only monster XHP-70 build. (actually, I have a ramping firmware from TK that does the side switch… tail would lock it out and the side e-switch would ramp it up and down. Lovely firmware for a monster light!)
Thanks Glenn, I’ll put a new driver in it if I we can’t sort it out. It is just kinda the principle of the thing right now. I want to know why it isn’t working.
IF I knew what I was doing I’d probably be doing something like that too…….
But those skills are still in the development stage. :person_facepalming: . Any direction on how to shorten that learning curve would be appreciated. :+1: …
Otherwise I may just have to take it out and send it to you DB and have you “hot rod” it for me.
This type of thing is one of the reasons I do what I do. Simon truly cares about his customers and resolving any problems properly. I love hearing stories like this.
