[MOD] no-name $1 keychain light

This is my first flashlight mod ever.
Host: no-name $1 keychain light.
Emitter swap: 5mm 3200K high CRI Yuji.

I think the result is fantastic.
Words can not describe the difference in light quality.

Big thanks to Djozz for the Yuji led and to Parametrek for the inspiration.

Nice work! I’ve carried Photons and fauxtons before but I don’t like buying coin cells.

Whatcha gonna do with the other 999 LEDs? :laughing:

Seriously though, where’d you get the Yuji?

I did the exact same mod, nice LED’s :+1:

Would one of these emitters work in a Fenix E01?

I’ve seen a thread about E01 swaps on ‘the other forum.’ :wink:

Cool mod, or should that be warm mod? :stuck_out_tongue: :+1:

I think it is cool mod. :wink:

Much better tint! Welcome to the world of modding. What are you going to mod next?

Do these led are sells somewhere in smaller quantity

Perhaps Clemence from http://wew.virence.com could sell these yuji’s. Or there could be an unconditional BLF group buy similar to the Nichia 219B 4500K 9080. I myself would order 50 or so 3200K Yuji’s from him in a pinch. Price is not the problem; the minimum order quantity of 1000 is the limiting factor.

Idea for my next Yuji 5mm mod

:sunglasses:

Unfortunately these lights are out of production and somewhat difficult to find second-hand.

Goshdogit: Thanks for sharing the CPF link, great find and inspirational.
Personally I think the Fenix E01 is great in all respects, except for the atrocious tint, beam artifacts, too high color trmperature (purple!) and low CRI of the Nichia GS. I would love a Fenix E01 with Yuji led.

Would it be possible to ask Fenix if they are interested in a group buy?
