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.
^ 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. 
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! 
… 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 …
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.
I got my M2 quad together (I stripped the black anno off to the bare aluminum). It’s running LED4Power 12A driver, 4x Luxeon V on his MOSLED board, and his lighted tail switch. Spacer is from Kiriba-ru. First time using any parts from either vendor, impressed with both!
Ceiling bounce numbers:
Constant Current 12A setting: 4,000 lm
Direct Drive setting: 5,385 lm (@ turn on)
Moon is just a little brighter than my D4 Nichia.
It does 4,000 lm for about ~75 seconds before stepping down to 1,000 lm. I let it run 5m total and it never stepped down from 1,000 lm but the body was not comfortable to hold at this point. Somehow the entire body transfers heat, not just the head/copper spacer.

Nice mods above!
I have done a C8F mod today but flickr does not want to upload. If that works again I will post a what did you mod yesterday.
Thanks!
Just finished my C8F too. I disassembled completely three times because of one faulty led.
Now it works. Tomorrow when I get home I will measure the output.
FourSevens Atom Triple XP-L HI.
I reworked my keyring flashlight with a reverse tail clicky switch.
The detachable magnetic holder is made from an old steel strike bezel which has a through plunger so the lights clicky switch can be operated whilst still attached to the holder 8^)
Also changed the driver to an LD-4 3A with external NTC.
