Nice little swap on parts. One of the quickest ways to spruce up a house is to change out old door hardware for shiny new bits, makes a difference in every room you see.
Planning a major mod to my waistline. Happy turkey day. :face_with_monocle:
Happy Thanksgiving!
Waiting for the game to start, feeling like I’m gonna explode! 
I stuffed me more than any Turkey even managed…
Mom modded my waisteline so I worked some of it off setting up her living room after she moved a couple months ago.
New 55in 4K TV, no cable. Hard wired for internet with her Roku on the side with my shared Netflix. Recently I went over her home PC with a new Vid card and SSD. Have it in the living room on the new TV with some entertainment stuff like Kodi and Exodus to get her anything she could want. She is 70 years old and gotta be proud of her to cut the Cable for the past 3 years.
I needed a small 100uF cap for a driver prototype but haven’t one at hand so I “modded” 10x 10uF SMD caps to a 100uF one:
Now that’s dedication !
I haven’t even try to solder any SMD component… I can’t imagine how much of a hassle it would be to solder a dozen side by side
Wasn’t too difficult. I used double sided adhesive tape on a flat surface to fix 5 caps side by side. Soldered them together and built the next group of 5. Fixed this two groups again to the tape, soldered them and connected the wires. Maybe 15 minutes of work. Most of this time used to locate caps which fell down to the floor.
Clever.
Small parts falling on the floor (in the carpet, so much better) is something I can rely on
“relate” ?
Yeah… you can’t rely on my English skills :person_facepalming:
I liked the first version better. I can rely on small parts falling to the floor as much as I can rely on the sun coming up.
Haha it’s ok 
now you know
Thrunite T20T titanium
MTN 17mm FET+1 driver
XP-L HI on Sinkpad
15mm x 7mm round aluminium heatsink in head
Potted driver
6mm x 1.5mm green tritium vial in lanyard hole
Fixed squishy loose switch cover
Black aesthetics
Brushed finish for improved grip
That looks sweet, was just looking at buying one of those from illumn.
That’s where i bought mine, not many left on the market.
I’m getting to where I like the smaller lights, I’ve got a T10 and a T10T that I really like.
Yeah i bought the T10T a couple of years ago and thought i’d get the 16340 version while i still could.
Happy with it now after the tweaks or should i say total rebuild.
I received this “Solder bridge” style S2+ copper pill from Hoop long time ago but just used them today.
IMO this is the best driver retention system, it secures the driver very firmly and the ground has a true direct path to the pill. The solderable part is very cleverly designed like a bridge (hence the name) so the heat doesn’t immediately dissipate when applying the iron. Black S2+, NUV FET+1, XP-L HI and smooth reflector waiting to be used with pflexpro’s MT glass.
Built one of my Titanium triples from Rey. XP-L HI 3A, Mth Fet+1 Bistro.
Very nice!!
