What did you mod today?

Neither of those two, after cutting a circle that fit in the bezel reasonably well, I spread some super attak as thin as possible on a sheet of paper and rolled the edge of the circle on it, then put it on the light (I made a quick representation so it’s clear ).

This way it sticks strongly, there is no glue between the filter and the glass interfering with its optical properties, and it should be easy to remove without leaving much residue.

I highly recommend UV hardened Display glue to glue the full area of the filter that way there is no gap producing losses reflecting light back inside the flashlight

xp-g2 is a led i really like , especially for pocket rocket mods .

Today i had my modded ut02 (dded xp-g2 , 300kcd) with me , every single time it amazes me :slight_smile:

Unforunately took a sh**ty pic :

This is the cheapest way that I know of to get some good lumens out of these cheap SRK's The copper disks I use come from "Metals Direct". I then work them down to the right size with an angle grinder and a file, finish them off by using a disc sander, working my way down to fine grit. I use a good thermal epoxy to bond the two together. Do this first and then you can drill out holes right where the holes are on the original MCPC.

You can then piggy back a BLF driver with a low resistance FET. If you want to go whole hog you can mount noctigons but I find that as long as you are not using super high amp batteries this works fairly well. Because I build my own drivers and the copper is fairly cheap it's just about a $6 mod. This light I did a little more and added three High CRI neutral XM-L2's to the mix. I found them too dark to use on their own but when mixed with cool white emitters, they are really nice. Someone had them on sale a while back and I bought a bunch of them. So altogether this was about a $14 mod for me and it's now hitting about 4,000 lumens OTF and the tint and beam are superb. Ramping driver and although it does have parasitic drain it locks out easy enough. (Need to start doing Tom's driver instead). I won the light on evil bay for $11. So it's a total of $25. Not bad for such a nice finished product.

Did you preserve the on board charging?

Built a little brass light

Modded a Skyray King with 3x Nichia 144 90CRI. Kaidomain DTP-Boards. I used Terminal-Pad for + and scratched the - Pad a little bigger. Battery+ is now on the Flashlight-Body.
3x 4,2A AMC-Driver.
Used tripple Optik from DX: http://www.dx.com/p/48-16mm-3-led-reflector-for-cree-emitters-glass-like-plastic-1916
I got round about 4300 Lumen.

I have to add some AMCs, 2 per Emitter/Driver.
And I have to mod the Battery tube to 6V. Now I have used my Tube from my 3x XHP50 SRK.

Sounds really nice.

I have old maglite magcharger. I tried to disassemble it and then I managed and yet I had no clue how to modd this light so I give up. That is something completely different to modd than classic lights.

my friends,i cant remember,but i think,somebody put xhp50 into convoy s2? sadly search doesnt help.anyone rember where is the project??:slight_smile: thanks

Should be a very simple mod. Zener mod the driver and swap emitter. The orange peel reflector should give a nice smooth flood.

okok but probably on two 18350 right-not one 18650

My first attempt at de-doming
Did it on X6 BLF edition with XM-L2 by lifting LED of aluminium heatink, then I turned on flashlight for 10s to heat up LED and peeled off dome with some toothpick :sunglasses:

It went easier than I thought. Unfortunately NW became warm tint

UTorch UT02 Mod. My very last old school XP-G2 De-Domed nice Neutral Tint, 30mm T/A Lexel built Narsil driver Powered by Sanyo 20700A or IJoy 20700 cell made in Japan? Both batteries drive it hard and I have seen 6.45amps at the hit.

Changed out the e-switch button, heavy copper braid rear spring bypass, 2mm thick copper ring driver retainer, cleared the ano off the driver pocket shelf. 6.32amps at the tail cap both Sanyo’s and IJoys read real close to the same.

Really like the Narsil ramping in bigger XHP70 lights, but it works out well in this torch too!

6.32 amps on xp-g2 ?? :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

Never seen one over 5.2-5.4 amps

Despite the change in tint, are you happy with the throw now?

Kawiboy is translated as WOT. :wink:

(That’s Wide Open Throttle for those that don’t recognize the term.)

@NeutralFan I was happy anyway, now it is perfect for my taste.

Yep old school XP-G2 got them back in the day at IO during my TK61 XP-G2 Mods. UT02 board after re-flow hooked directly to a 3 year old Red Efest 26500 test battery on the rock. (sink) Flux smoke 6.12amps at 30seconds. De-domed it, in the light, upside down sitting on a thimble of Imron thinner.

Those 20700’s kick it up a notch! Just over 7+ amps in my XP-LHI V3 lights too! :+1:

Awesome kwb !

Would love to have older xp-g2 :wink:
