What did you mod today?

Thanks Don!

Really cool. Do you have more details? I’ve googled the charger circuit, but what magnetic port charger adapter and so on? I’m interested in replicating this in one of my lights.

I used this cable
Detachable Magnetic Charging Cable Lightning Type-C Micro USB 3-in-1 Charger Cable with Indicator LED Light
Tore into the USB C connector and soldered wires to the back.

Very Nice :+1:

Thanks Stevi

Thanks!

Cool! I see Amazon has several magnetic adapted cables. I’ll have to have a look at them all later 2nite

Great mod vwpieces :star: :star: :star: :star: :star:

There aren’t many that use the round end. I suppose the flack given by dumb buyers saying my PC it doesn’t see my phone… It is Charge only.
I searched hard, ask CRX :smiley: PMs were flying for a couple days.
That one was the best deal for getting 3 connectors to hack up. Depending on the light I guess you could just insert the adapter and seal around it to get same result. I wanted a close fit so I tore into it, removing the connector from the back and soldering wires direct.

Welcome mike C.

Thanks PP!

I never knew they existed. My wife would probably love to have one attached to her phone too. :slight_smile:

There is a company selling Patented “breakaway” connectors for laptops. I think this is making various adapters scarce and expensive. I would like some 5.5mmX2.1mm magnetic power connector adapters.
But doesn’t seem to have affected the phone market for such things. I tried the round to Micro USB on my phone but I could see it causing more stress on the connector in my pocket than using the micro port only. Huge benefit is the super fast and easy connection while driving. But newer connector types that are reversible are already much easier than dealing with micro USB. Hard to say that the 5pin oval types are going to be better or not. Definitely need a flush fit.

The OD on the adapters and wire connector are 8mm, for some perspective.

Like the others said vwpieces. Terrific mod. :beer:

CRX, are you using GITD powder + resin or the GITD tape on the K03?
Nice one! I’ve been thinking to grab one of these small lights (Sofirn or not). Does it take 18350 batteries?
Thanks in advance! :+1:

I used tape for under the LED centering ring and the switch.
The K03 accepts 16340 only :+1:

Nice! Thats makes it glow “naturally” on the led! On the tail it will have to absorb some light then! Thanks for the information about both things :wink: Wish it could take 18350s…

BTW, some time ago I put a bit of GITD tape inside a transparent switch and it works quite well (after putting another flashlight glowing at it some seconds)!
It can glow all night in the bedside if one needs to grab it! It is my improvised “lighted switch” so far :smiley:

Are these your new Daytime Running Lights (DRL)?
And if so, in what brand/model car?
