Tear Down (and upcoming mod) - Boruit RJ-02 Headlight (Pic Heavy)

ImA4Wheelr, what tool did you use to remove the pressed on cap? it’s very tight.

I carefully held the body in the vice with soft jaws and tapped the cap off with an aluminium drift. Yes they are very tight.

Thanks for the sharing man. After you put it together is the cap still able to fit tightly? Did you just hammer the cap back onto the light?

Interesting light, thanks for the teardown :+1:

Sorry for missing the above question. Thanks MRsDNF. Not really recalling at the moment. I think I did similar to MRsDNF, but used a wood dowel and hammer to knock off the cap. It does go back on quite secure. Pretty sure I used a piece of a 2x3 or 2x4 to smack it back in place.

The cap can also be pressed back on with the vice, Make sure the cap goes on straight though.

Hello, simple change of led, that had leftover from a convoy c8, a hpl-hi u63a, to part more difficult the re-flow led, only missing a new tir ……., greetings !!

Thanks for the tips guys. :slight_smile:

You guys have this n00b curious about this cheapy head lamp to replace the purple-blue cheap ones I have from 15 years ago.

Have any of you considered sticking the assembly with end cap in the freezer and slightly warming up the friction-fit cap afterwards to help expand it relative to the cold tube? Might come off really easily and save you some damage.

I'd buy one or two if the flash sale came back.

Ask Fin17 for a coupon code?

See GearBEST's Sale . Rovyvon A5 $15.99 . Convoy S21 $15.99 .

I loaded up when I saw they were <10bux. :smiley:

Still, compared to the price of even an entry-level Skilhunt and such, 11bux is downright cheap. Waiting for it to drop a coupla bux might not be worth the ag. Buy it. Buy it now.

My wife is not fully employed. I'd rather save the 3 dollars. Maybe even the 11 dollars (for now) until she is. Let's all hope that she gets the full time position and out-earns me.

Plus there's no guarantee it/they would get here before we leave on our vacation (eclipse + yosemite) so I'm in no rush.

pinging Fin17 for a code might be the way to go. I'll need more 18650 cells too.

$8.89 at Aliexp.
But if you need it quick, free shipping won’t help you much.

Boruit

3wks seems about on par vs GB.

Had 2 packages due from GB, 1 came today. so still waiting for 1 last one (and the priciest, figures…). From July 11th and 13th or something like that, so yeah, about 3wks courtesy of Azerbaijan Air is about the norm.

well would you look at this...

Go crazy… :smiley:
