[GAW] 1000 posts -X3-'s giveaway

This mod Saik SA-305 rebuild. The Fat Flooder! by bRaceR86.

Congrats for your 1000+ posts -X3- and thanks for your great GAW!

Many great flashlight mods I've seen at BLF, but with no second thought, the best imo is CRX's Carbon Fibre & Brass that I'm proud to own! It's a handmade unique piece of art!

i like this What did you mod today? mod by CRX on the X2R

Not mine but I like the concept behind this mode (credit goes to CRX)

I’m in and thanks for the GAW

This Mi7 Titanium mod by CRX takes the cake for me.

My Convoy C8 with old type xp-g2 s4 2b . Mod here . It’s now making over 190kcd …


The two EDC’s I have with me today.

  1. Ultrafire AT-007, Omten switch, bistro driver, XP-G2 S3 3D dedomed, purple Efest 14500 battery (600lm, 40kcd)
  2. Supfire S1, Nichia 219C R9050 SM353, fixed BLF-A6 driver with 470 Ohm bleeder, lighted tail with slow-changing rgb leds. (my current favourite EDC, perfect modes, tint, output, beam, the funky lighted tail is a bonus)

Hmm . . . one of my favorite and most used modded lights is my Revtronic (Nitefighter) BT40S bike light. In stock form is a 4x XP-G2 (/-4C tint) driven at/-875mA each in Turbo yielding +/- 1,200 lumens (measured in my D.I.Y. sphere). I swapped the XP-G2’s for Nichia 219C’s and boosted the driver to 4A (2A per emitter in Turbo) yielding 2,100 lumens in my sphere.

I’m currently in process of modding a 2nd BT40s with neutral white XP-G3’s and boosting that driver. I’ll likely drop max current down to 3A or so (for 1.5A per emitter) so low is more like a low and because 4A on the 1st light was overkill.

This used to be my favourite flashlight…!
(now sold and regretted…)
HDS Clicky (170 lumens, teracote)

Convoy M2 quad is my favorite.

Thanks for the GAW.

I own several flashlights
Astrolux S2 is one of my favorites…
Thanks for the giveaway

Will a link work?

This light by DBCustom:

I really like the ‘Ace of Spades’ Convoy S2+

This mod was one of my favorite.

My favorite mod: EE X6 XP-L V6 3D triple 11,3A
(by ZozzV6)

I know it’s vain, but I really liked emarkd’s lighted orange tailcap, which can be seen in this post:

I love the blue one on my x5, but now I’m already trying to justify buying something in copper just try and get an orange lighted tailcap for it :wink: (the only copper I have is an astrolux S1, and that doesn’t even have a tailcap :smiley: )

Loving multi emitter lights!

My favorite modded light (by RMM, not a modder myself):

With a cozy warm 5D tint.

I will second XXX-Man on this one.

You just can’t beat the warmth and beauty of natural wood.

In recent memory CRX’s 18500 shorty jumps out in my mind in a practicality/feature rich sense. I hope he doesn’t mind me linking his mod here. At the very least I won’t steal one of his pictures & post it up.

In terms of pure visual eye candy their have been tons(CRX of course has made a few of these gems too.)

EDIT - & FYI I was the winner of WillyD’s beauty. Despite owning more than a few lights that light lives in the flashlight carrier of my Maxpedition Fatboy bag that I only take out periodically during nighttime. It serves it’s role awesomely because that light is always visible at night no matter what I’m fumbling around with. Being a tube light it was never intended to throw greatly but so far it gives very decent illumination on whatever I needed it light up. In my mind it’s the perfect tube light to live in that tube holster of my nighttime bag. Thanks again WillyD!

This creation by CRX is not really a mod. I think of it as a full build: Olight TC15T
I have the original from a clearance-sale, and all I do is spit-polishing it (considering the listprice in NL was nearly $200).

If you think you have seen these lines before: you are right. But naming the best mod I know leaves me with two choices:
a/ pick one of the dozens of magnificent mods by one of our über-talented BLF-members, or
b/ stick by the one I have named a few days before. And thats what it is.
