This is my first thread, and I don’t speak English, so please be gentle.
First, I want to thank the BLF Forum and all members here, I’ve learned so much from you all, I’m an active reader here.
I’ll share my mod here, I’m a fan of e-switch light because of it’s Firmware (Narsil & Anduril)’s due to its rich features, and a built-in rechargeable light.
Here’s one of my latest mod, Inspired from a thread by CRX , and this took me almost two weeks to finish and I’m very happy with the final result. I call it SLMicro Clone, or SLMicro II (CRX will sue me)

- 9.8mm diameter glass lens and OP reflector (taken from Singfire SF-364 AAA Bullet Flashlight)
- handmade 12mm brass reflector bezel ring
- M2 brass removable nut screw (for lanyard/keychain)
- PC-Clear Epoxy, Dextone, & Superglue
Parts (Driver, Charging Circuit, Switch, & Emitter) :
