just some S43S Lego
Not that much real mods but a busy afternoon anyway :
Hjeh. kewl!
I made ādisposableā ones that way. The wires/magnets I keep, but would use those whote tubular āfoamā (blown LDPE, I think) to wedge āem in 1-cell chargers for my 26650s when I wouldnāt want to unpack a bigger charger.
Like now, with the Cometas, I needed to charge a 26650 that I had in an F13ā¦ dug up the wires, and ā« viola ā«, instant charger!

who said the S43S is not compatible with the S42?
some generation - meeting LEGO:
I was the one who told that info on TLF. :person_facepalming: I tested my early 2017 S42ās front bezel which only took 2 or 3 rounds and then ā¦ no way to close the gap.
So maybe the newer S42 bezels will fit ā¦ ?
It is not necessary connected to the production date.
When they produce with more lathes on different lines one can be off.
Or one cutting tool was worn out and they replaced or adjusted it to late.
Iām in love. :heart_eyes:
wonderful build CRX
It lasts some days, but I have written my report with some pictures:
Nice mod Wieselflinkpro. Lots of experimenting there.
Yes, nice experimenting! The hotspot actually looks really decent through the fresnel lens!
1.6Mcd with an XHP35, very nice.
I gotta add this to my list of most powerful flashlights
Wieselflinkpro, very impressive! Thanks for posting. Would be nice if Lumintop can actually manufacture one for mass production

Thank you, M4D M4X, for doing this lego. I wondered if the colored S42S tubes would fit the S43S. Iām not very pleased about the black anodisation, your colorful version looks much better and tempting!

I agree :+1:
Where is Enderman? You see Enderman that was I talking to you few days agoā¦
Bravo Wieselflinkproā¦ Very good build.
I know Enderman would say that fresnel lens are no go but I really like it :+1:
Turned the Lumintop Tool AA into a UV flashlight.
I used a SK68 clone driver (1 mode, AA/14500), a Nichia UV 365nm from Convoy S2, and a UV filter from the S2 as well.
To make it shorter, I am using it with the magnetic tail (making it a 1 mode twisty), not the clicky tail!
I agree :+1:

I already posted above youā¦
Seems like he got an aspheric fresnel lens, which are kinda rare, as you can tell from the sharp die projection in the spot.
Itās still very low performance compared to what a normal aspheric glass lens would do, closer to 3Mcd.
Of course it has itās advantages like being cheaper and lighter.
Nice UV Tool MascaratumB! I take it that you had to sand the filter quite a bit smaller?
I tried the new Osram KW CSLNM1.TG led in a BLF D80. I made a 12x7135 biscotti driver by adding 4 chips. In the end I measured only 3.9A so 1 chips is probably not cooperating, but 3.9A is pretty nice for this led anyway.
The output is 710 djozz-lumen which is close enough to max, and I think I did a good job focussing it (I combined two centering rings, one inside the other, both sanded down on the underside until the rims were paper-thin), see the beam at 5m distance, but still I got āonlyā 140 kcd throw on max, while I hoped for 170 kcd.
It has become a nice little light though, I think this led fits very well in the D80ā¦
