What did you mod today?

Thanks for the link. The description says Boruit. Is the lens glass?

ha, you reminded me that I have a glass lens from a project years ago! found it, and was excited to test it, but it did not work out well. the focus was lost mid way thru extending the tube.

the stock lens is in the middle and is not glass, it is the biggest lens of all my zoomies.
I like most everything on this host except for the pill, the thermal path needs a lot of work.

Made a new “walking the dog” flashlight.

It has a nice wide beam and still puts out some lumens, not as much as a quad or triple but is has more “throw”. It pulls 8.45A from a fresh VTC6, settling @ a mere 3.22A after stepdown.

I also swapped the emitter in a Sofirn SP31 to a XP-L HD 5A3 :

Djozz killed Darth Wader light, There is no fun in that any more :slight_smile:

So Djozz said: Wader… You shall not pass!

Anyway fantastic mods guys…

How about making one for your dog? Kodi loves his! :smiley: :+1:

This is why I’m a bit concerned about the FW3A’s optic and emitter choice. It risks making an ugly multicolor beam with lots of artifacts.

Great picture, I do have a Sofirn SF10 that could work.

Finally had the time to test the amps. It draws 8.45 at the tail.

cheers

As probably most of us I was always using 1D’s or 1A’s for dedoming. As I have replaced the 3D xp-g2’s in my Emisar D4 for 5D I had some 3D’s to play with.

I dedomed them and really like the tint. Put one in my otr i3 and one in my B158. Liking this much much better :beer:

No green?

This is what I did last nite.

Swap stock LED from Thrunite Ti3 with Nichia 219x from Fasttech. Pics taken using same setting and manual white balance, hopefully they show the actual tint colors.

Before:

After:

A little on the lowest mode, but none at higher modes. Less green than other dedomed leds and less than my domed 5c L6.

Very nice pictures :+1: , where did you buy the emitters ?

Interesting. I also have four 3Ds from a D4 that I didn’t like. So I’ll probably try it as well.

The XP-G2 3D is my favourite for dedoming, the resulting tint is rather yellow, but I can confirm without green.

That’s great to hear! I’ll take yellow over green anytime.

nice tint.

Hard to find again.
