I don’t have too much, much go to work, anyway enjoy :
Nice video!
Is that button cover glued into place?
It seems safe to say they don’t want one to open and mod this thing.
Thanks!
Nothing is glued, the button bezel and optic bezel are press fitted.
One of the reasons that this light isn’t more popular in flashlight community is IMO due to the cold white tint of the stock emitter.
The fact that it’s now possible to swap the emitter might give it a sale bump… To be continued
Nice!
I have had a PM conversation about Olght with another reviewer/modder here on BLF.
Olight had provided him hand picked glue-less flashlights to make him write prositive reviews not mentioning the downside of using glue. He hated Olight for this. So my question to you logically is, did you buy the light random so are you sure it is not another light then normal users will get?
I got the light beaten as sh*t for nothing because it also has a faulty driver (only turbo mode is working) so I’m sure it’s not a “demo” or “special” edition
Also, now that I saw how to do I plan to do the same on my own S2 to swap the emitter (219C I think)
With a nice tint, it mights become my EDC !
Cool!!
Nice job! Can the same thing be done to an s1?
S1 was not really a problem as the bezel is easy to remove :
The video is not from me but Turkeylord’s from CPF
I didn’t have those tools and was unable to get the bezel off.
I used an utility knife and a littl hammer to slowly get the blade between bezel and body.
I’ll try to do a pic tonight

X3- your post in the modding thread helped me to get into my S1 and this new video is just going to “open up” buying more Olights for me…
The CW emitter has its role, but in sweet little EDC lights like these, the quality of light from a good NW or WW tint cannot be beat by the few extra lumen a CW emitter gives…
Thanks for this from everything but my wallet…lol
I’m nearly a fanboy of Olight, shape, UI and minimalist aesthetic are near perfect to me… except this CW emitters (okay NW in Ti S1 is quite acceptable)
The fact that it’s FINALLY possible to swap them in S1 and S2 is IMHO a huge step !
I’ve put a nice WW 7A in my S1 EDC, and plan to put a 219C in my S2… that will finally see some usage !
Ahh, I’m stuck with a few Olights, two S1’s, couple more that are dead to me because I can’t open them. Yes, hate the blue cools they all have.
Pic links in post #12 are not working for me, and didn’t play the video yet (not a video fan). Am very interested though! Found from the mod thread.
+1
And my old PC can not play videos.
Pics links are fixed now.
However, they are not S1”s pics…
I’ll try to make a few pics of an S1 disassamble to show you
I like how there is no talking in the video!
I have not tried to take my S20 apart, no need to except i wish it could do more then 400 lumens
I’m French and have a terrible english accent so I prefered to shut up lol
Update on this, don’t even think of putting a Nichia 219 in both S1 nor S2…the beam is ugly, with artifacts everywhere !
EDIT from 16/07/2019 : I actually tried more 3535 emitters behind the Olight TIR.
219B/C as well as LH351B/D and even SST20 are okay. You have to focus them properly but the beam is clean with the good spacer.
I actually EDC a Lumintop tool AA with an Olight TIR and a 9080 sw45 219B
Basically, with stuck with XM-L2
4C on the left (Nitecore HC30 +TIR) 219B 4500K (Olight I3S) and 7A 3000K (Olight S2)
