How time flies…
2.5 years on this wonderful forum and more than a thousand more or less interesting posts !
It’s my turn to do something for this community
Some of you know that I was an Olight reviewer for about one year, and I enjoyed modding their products
So I’m giving away my S10R II triple XP-G2 3C.
It’s a simple mod, with a triple board from KD and the optic that is supplied with.
I made a copper spacer, filed the stock pill and fitted everything in.
It’s not waterproof anymore, because I didn’t find a thin enough o-ring to fit between the bezel and optic.
Of course, the charger base is given away with the light !
Now for the rules :
You have to be a member of BLF before 02/02/2017
Have at least 10 posts (and by posts I don’t mean the “I’m in” in every possible giveaway…)
Post a picture of your favourite modded light (in your collection or not)
EU members will have free shipping, all others are welcome but I may ask a little amount to cover the extra shipping fees :email:
EDIT : one entry per member, please delete any double post to keep it fair
EDIT II : Maybe an end date would be good to announce let’s say February 10th 20h GMT
And we have a winner : CRX
Congratulations, I’ll write you a message asking for your address
For some reason it is hard to pick a favorite light……
This is top 3 for sure though:
10,000 lumens, good neutral tint (although sadly not high cri), Narsil ramping firmware on a Texas Avenger driver. It lights up everything while fitting in your hand.
Okay, I’m in! I think I have enough posts to qualify, so for my favorite modded light (at least, the one that gets used the most), I’ll post my favorite EDC:
Purchased from Manafont in its original form sometime in 2012:
TrustFire F20: Originally shipped with a basic XR-E emitter of some unknown bin, the first mod was to replace the emitter with a first-gen XM-L U2 emitter. I then replaced the reflector with one that was a more subdued OP. I have subsequently replaced the XM-L with an XM-L2 emitter, replaced the switch, and finally, removed the original 5-mode/blinkie driver with a 1.4A Nanjg 101-AK-A1 driver with the blinkies disabled. I have become increasingly attached to this light as I haven’t yet found a comparable replacement. Easily modded, deep-carry clip, no edges to catch on pockets, but good knurling for grip. It’s been lost several times, but so far, I’ve always been able to find it again. Approaching five years of EDC use has resulted in some wear to the anodizing that really gives the light character.
I’ve never given a whole lot of thought to modded lights.
One homemade light by CRX happened to catch my eye when he posted this thread about it.
Sorry I can’t put pics up but there are a whole load on his thread - I just love the symmetry of it, the cold-blued finish, the sparse switch, the fact it has been knocked together with copper tube and a few other bits and bobs. I think it is superb and I wish I had 1/100th of his ability.
So, I may be excluded from the GAW because (a) I haven’t posted a pic and (b) it isn’t a modded light, it’s a creation.
Nice light you are giving away!
thanks for the excitement and slim chance of winning it, so heck yeah i am in!
Again that question about favorite mod, dang very very hard!
all those things made by the machinists are not modded because made from scratch, that makes it a bit easier
all the wood, triples, insane builds, very tough
so I go again with the modded JM30
Edit for both bump and to say to X3 I really like this topic, cooool!
let’s say February 10th 20h GMT
