What did you mod today?

I don’t care much for cold bear either, they’re too grumpy when they’re cold and won’t stay in the mug.

I changed up this week. Got Newcastle Brown ale instead of my usual Warsteiner Dunkel.

Right out of the freezer…

Newkie Brown used to be my favorite beer when I lived in England for a year in the eighties. Nowadays I can buy it even here in Holland, in fact I believe it is even brewn here.

I’ll shine a light on my beautiful bottle of Imperia Vodka any day, coupled with Kahlua it’s the perfect Black Russian.

That’s pretty sweet. I imagine it would look amazing if someone could make (3d print?) the center piece of the switch out of a clear material.

I love lit tailswitches and the metal switches, but have never been satisfied with just using the clear gasket on the metal switches. It just doesn’t let enough light through.

Not really modding, but did some polishing

g_damian · February 12, 2018, 9:07pm

What have you used to achieve this effect?

Yokiamy · February 12, 2018, 9:14pm

I have used an old cotton T-shirt together with Brasso

The finish of this flashlight is not 100% smooth, as you can see on the image
It came that way actually, but it is not very well visible on the first picture with the patina on it.

Xiaomi 10000mAh Powerbank II hack.

Built in short micro usb lead and 3W warm white cob LED with reverse clicky switch, acrylic window.

I usually do the lead mod with my powerbanks but noticed there was maybe just enough space for the cob and a switch, so why not ;)

The MBI HF was among the first custom direct drive lights, these from Japan and running on custom made high discharge Li-ion cells. I was very into the MBI products when The-Guy-With-No-Name was first getting started, have several HF’s, a Torpedo and an aspheric head for a Ti HF. They’re very compact and tweak all the output possible from a small cell.

As the story goes, the inventor worked for a large Japanese company that dis-allowed the employees to have a public face, hence, the-guy-with-no-name. His packaging is incredible, especially with the Torpedo, really way over the top…

Stuck a Quad-5D XPL HI into my grey D4 last night.

It’s bright, but something doesn’t seem quite right. The 5D emitters that came with my cyan D4 and Titanium D4 are both considerably brighter on turbo mode and heat up considerably faster. I suspect my grey is outputting about 1000 lumens less on a fresh VTC5A. Not sure what’s causing the loss of output, but I don’t think it’s the emitters as I had the same issue with a previous set of XPL HI emitters in my grey.
