What did you mod today?

MascararumB, reflector works great with the led. But that’s me not being a beam profile snob. It throws nice though with a usable hotspot.
However I didn’t perfectly center the led.
I filed down the noctigon asymetrical and it was a snug fit to the pill. So the led couldn’t center very well. But for me its okay.

I looked at the luxeon V as well. Nice led, but I had this one still lying around. Also I don’t know if it can mess with the illuminated tailcap.

Yes I would call that extreme haha. Nice, I hate all these cold blue lights.
But 260lm at 2.5 Amp is a bit steep for daily all round usage… But nice for nights at home! Where’s the wine bottle? :wink:

Here’s the led & beam at 2.5mtr MascaratumB:

Thanks for your answers and pictures Dutchee! I guess that being XPL-HI doesn’t create the “rings” that I saw in mine with the XP-G2 and the Luxeon V, before the TIR.
Even not being completely centered as you said, there is not much “noise” in the beam! Nice work once again :wink:
I am tempted to get another Tool AA to do something similar to what you’ve done :wink:
Unless LT releases a differente version of the light with some corrections (UI, Driver, LED :p)

Thanks again mate :wink:

Two Cafe lights from used materials (except the drivers and the LED module):

More Info:

Swapped out the led in my T20T with an old dedomed sst-90 4500k. Results are not quite what I wanted, the tint seems a bit green to my eye’s. Plus the firefly mode doesn’t light up the new led. I think I’ll try a different led. The led shelf had a step in it so I lathed the shelf flat to suit the larger led.

Haven’t seen one of those for a while.

An SST-90 still looks cool!

Yeh, I actually like the look of the led itself :sunglasses: but in this situation not much of it can be seen.

Simple mod today. Installed 219C 4000K into Lumintop Prince. Also added spring to the driver, so flat-tops work now.

Album with pictures

^ nice pictures!

Got a really neat little Thorfire TK05 in the mail yesterday, a friend liked it so much he sent me one to play with so he’d get a better idea how he wanted me to mod his own. lol

So I pulled the XP-G3 and replaced it with an XP-L V6 3D on a Noctigon sized to fit, that helped a lot but it was still somewhat anemic. So I build an FET+1 driver and flashed Anduril and now it does 1386 lumens out the front. :slight_smile:

Anduril allows controls on the floor and ceiling of the ramp so it’s easy to set it up for the high end of the ramp to be more gentle on the cell and not make so much heat, a quick double click yields full Turbo if needed.

And lightning/candlelight modes make it exceptionally sweet for EDC! :smiley:

… DIY Hard Boiled Egg Patina on my Copper Lumintop Prince …

Hard Boiled patina ages nicely. I treated the top CU a year or so ago and bottom CU I just treated overnight.

^ pretty. Is there a way to keep it that way? (a coating of some sort?)

Sure. You can use many transparent spray-lacquer.

Olight Prince sure is an unknown model :innocent:

Oops … yea uh I mean … Lumitop Prince.

Cool lights nonetheless … :slight_smile:

Used Sugru (an uncured Silicone from the UK) to make a silicone sleeve on my Emisar D1s. Had the blue Sugru left over on another project and had to use it somewhere, rolled it out and wrapped it around the tube of the D1s and rolled it like a pastry roller on the bathroom counter (little bit of water helped keep it from sticking to the counter and roll out smooth)

Nice move Dale. This is the kind of thing that this light needs to keep a grip on it. Still wish it had a hole for a lanyard. I’d really hate to drop it in the river.

I wanted to use my Skilhunt H03 shorty with Andúril firmware So I ordered 22DD-m fet+1x7135 driver board which designed by DEL and grinded down to 21mm diameter to fit the H03. Built the driver:

Removed stock driver:

Test run:


I couldn’t make the switch indicator led run so I soldered two blue leds between switch legs and they draw 0,2mA current so it is good for me. They are always on except when button is presed. And don’t mess with the firmware at all. On the left it is the stock red led. Maybe later I will use it for something.
