What did you mod today?

My Fenix TK11-x mod: 10507 carclo, Nichia219C with noctigon thermalpad and forced original driver (up to 800lm)

Nice mod, Hemionline! Looks very robust and balanced, with good output/runtimes.

Emisar D4 anti nut-burner recessed GITD switch & bezel

How did you get the switch retaining ring out? What did you have to do to make the button recessed?

I used a very thin flat head screwdriver to slip under the bezel and twisted to raise it a bit then pryed until it popped off, gotta be careful not to press on the switch when prying.

For the recessed switch I cut three pieces of GITD tape to size, punched two in the centre with a 7mm punch and stuck in the hole then placed a 1.5mm round piece of gorilla tape on the momentary switch and put the last GITD disc on top, filed down the underside of the steel bezel a little then put some silicone around the inside edge of the switch well and pressed the bezel back in place then finally an 8mm disc of black stickyback plastic in the centre to create the glow ring.

Nicer feel to it now with the excess play removed and your thumb sits nicely in the bezel to operate the switch.

Very nice CRX!

Ordinary cheap SK68 clone + AL adapter + 17650 battery = almost 3x 14500 working time.

I know of two threads that describe how to post photos...

but the threads themselves all have PhotoBucket photos...

which are down.

Maybe you can figure it out from the text?

Thank You!

You're welcome, and I'm glad you figured it out.

Chinese:

Lot of nice working going on around here these days. :wink: Nice to see…

And, feeling like a kid again, it’s so neat to watch as this lil beauty converts the energy of a light I built through photosynthesis on a daily basis, growing like the proverbial weed.

And soon, the glorious result… the hottest pepper in the world! (technically the dragon breath is hotter, but it was cultivated for medical use and is not available to the public)

Don’t it just make your mouth water gazin at it? :smiley: :smiling_imp:

Oh, and more technically, it originated with Pucker Butt Pepper company as a cultivar, TP22B.

Finally

Thanks for Tom E, JasonWW……

18x219C、XHP70.2、XPL Hi (L2)

Inspired by this thread :smiley: not as neat as made by everyone here but very happy with the result.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

I made a triple Nichia VG10 and Convoy L6 XHP70.2 TA fet with SMO reflector. The measuremebts are in my google tables.

Ooch, is it an Oslon square ?

No, those are nice 4000K 80 CRI XP-L2’s. I still have to find out if one just burned, or that the tight fit in the Carclo decapitated it. I can’t recall having put any pressure on the leds and once the legs of the optic are well in the holes there should hardly be any movement possible. Still got 2300 lumen out of the two remaining leds :person_facepalming:

I thought you were individually switching them on. :slight_smile:

Fixed that for you.
