This should be interesting... 
i see a bright future for them ;)
:-)
Work Fast I want to see.
Hehe, speed is relative to age…
Hey old, check again on the heads. I picked up the same 2 lights from HD and their heads are indeed 2 pieces. The reflector will drop right out after you un-srew the parts
Well, I will do that. I saw what looked like a seam, but I beefed on it and couldn’t budge either one, so I figured it wasn’t really a seam. I’ll try it when I get home.
Thanks
EDIT: I tried at home and the head did come apart, but the reflectors and lenses are glued in tight. I didn't want to pry or force too much, but I can see the glue line in them.
Updated the first post.
These come with XP-Cs
Updated, Mods are Done!
Nice work, Justin. :)
Great job, I love it when cheapo lights can shine bright.
Great video of making the heatsink, O-L !
The title of this thread sounds like something a plastic surgeon would say...
I love the way you do stuff without machine tools. Your creativity is impressive!
Patience is something I've never been good at. You obviously are very, very good at it.
I like the care that you put into it O-L. That is really something.
And AA for gluing. No cheap stuff here. Good job(s) :-)
I actually like the thrower best, I wish we were on the same continents. But I do hope someone will pick up on these little babies. Sure thing is they will surprise anyone who knows anything about flashlights because they wont expect to get that kind of performance from that package!
Me too. Any plans to move to Europe Old L?
You'll be very welcome here.
Would you believe that one of your videos enabled me to spot a Texan accent the other day? Well it did. I'm no use at identifying US regional accents - except Texan.
The doctoral classes I'm doing just now are 2/3 American and the only accent I could place was Bill the Texan. Whose accent is stronger than yours. He was impressed that I guessed he was a Texan. Most of the rest of the class are from PA or thereabouts apart from one ex-Canadian who now lives in PA.
Everyone, Thank You for the kind words. I really do appreciate it. I enjoy doing the mods and I also enjoy sharing what I do with others. In some small way it makes me feel useful again.
That is the exact same way I feel and the sole reason I do it also.
Don,
Hate to tell you, but that accent I have is mostly Yankee.
I have lived in Texas (off & on) for 15+ years, but a natural born Texan can tell me a mile away. I don't even have to say anything. They can tell from the facial features that I am not a Texan. There may be just a little TX influence in my voice, but when I watch the videos I can tell the Yankee is still all there.
New York State, Yous Guys! Western NY (Rochester, Buffalo area).
That will never go away, as well as the NY attitude & mouth. I am surprised you could pick up on any of the TX accent at all.
I always wanted to travel, but as it is with the majority, I never got out of the US (except for Canada, eh?). Niagara Falls!
Anyhow, thanks for the kind words.
