What did you mod today?

Oh so you just wanted more flood and better tint. :+1:

Couple of tritium switch mods

And a couple of lighted switches.

Nice mods CRX! I have a weak spot for that Ultrafire zoomie, ultra-cheap for what you get, well made and they have put a lot of thought in the design, only draw-back, for the size it should house a 18350 cell.

Is that RVS light an old-school light from dx back in the days? Fandyfire perhaps?

Yeah the Ultrafire zoomie is nice, compact chubby :slight_smile:
I modded that one for an Efest 1200mAh 16500 cell so thatā€™s much better too but I had to hack together the lighted switch from scratch.

Thatā€™s an Aurora SH-034 stainless steel with the blue lighted tail, cheap mans sinner :smiley: Think I bought it from Manafont maybe about seven years ago or so, one of my first lights, very well made. Iā€™m in the process of tarting it up for sale.

Yep, Aurora it was :slight_smile:
Some of those old lights are still in stock at dx btw, but not this Aurora.

CRX, why didnā€™t you show it from the start?
Amazing. :slight_smile:

Well itā€™s a bit of a mess really, but it works :smiley:

So we finally get to see the ugly side of a CRX mod, he isnā€™t perfect!

Certainly not :smiley:

To me itā€™s beautiful. :slight_smile:

The outside is about beauty, the inside is about function. Both are outstanding (but who am I to judge).

Iā€™m just giving him a hard time because of how refined all of his finished products look. However, if you look at hot rod car types or some other hobbies I assure you the inside is not always all about ā€œfunctionā€ to some :slight_smile:

I stuck a Samsung LH351D in a Zebralight SC64c.

Iā€™m jealeaus!

I bet THAT was fun Bob! Nice work!

Today my Uv LED arrived (and a few really nice leds are on its way to me) so i wanted to work out a way to solder the LEDs to the MCPCB (My selfmade hotplate with modded PC Powersupply was damaged because of a broken waterpipe that flooded my workbench a few month back). But i had a few spare heating elements, my old Aluminium Block (i grinded it out of a Amplifier Cooler) and i could revive the temp controller. Using a car battery for the ~10Amps draw and my vise to hold it in place. The right side is cold enough to touch when the left side is above 200Ā°C. Worked like a charm Temp set to 198Ā°C (overshoot to only 203Ā°C with hysterese set to 5Ā°C) . Now i should get a new Powersupply and some kind of case to make it nice.




Thatā€™s awesome Docc! Really good work on improvisation, youā€™re all set to go into the re-flow business now! :smiley:

Grinded down the zwb2 filter and removed most of the rough machining marks (where the MCPCB is placed).
Today i reflow the UV led and then i have to wait for the driver.


TODā€™s hittinā€™ the mods fast & hard :+1:
