You know what, guys? I had once a few other hobbies, but only in this forum I feel a nice atmosphere.
Only change to triple led. Soldered directly to pill. I hate the original beam.
You have some sludge on your emitter domes. It may be worth it to clean them with some isopropyl. Sometimes emitters can literally melt down if the foreign object is too big
Cool, that’s what moddin’s all about Chatika vas Paus :+1:
I was half expecting a magnet duct taped to the light or something
Soldering looks better than mine too
KawBoy, that’s good for a cold winter
Still, it must have been a work to make it fit the S2+ head :o
Nice work all of you And thanks for the inspiration
Back when the Eagle Eye X6 first came out I did the first triple conversion and got hooked. I’ve done so many X6’s now with so many different configurations it’s become difficult to think of something new to do with them.
But it’s true, you start small and work up… like with most anything.
As I understand it, the S41 was a spin-off of a quad X5 I sent to Neal, back when the X6/X5 was a group buy and just taking off. I built the first quad X5 (I know this as it was a prototype I built it on) that one made 3030 lumens from the 14500 cell. It’s been used to scare Black Bear’s off from a camp-site… the forest ranger was quite impressed as I got the story. Yes, I gifted it to a friend up North.
Once you start, it becomes an addiction, be forewarned!
Awhile back (Dec last year) I modified a friends Astrolux S41 to give him a better tint (he’s a tint snob) and while I was at it, I made a copper bezel to go on the copper head section for added heat sinking. He loved it.
For soft aluminium I used a #26 scalpel blade, same for the reflector hole.
There are better tools to use for this.
I just had to put an angle on the lip of the pill to clear the components that side.
