What did you mod today?

@CRX

CRX CuTi Zoomie - KW CSLNM1.TG - FET 17 - 18350 - Fw Clicky Sw - 609lm, 209lm, 59000cd.

Ufff….

I like this very much CRX! 60 KCD for small zoomie!

For White flat fans. Seems that we all getting all kind of different results in our mods. But I am pretty sure that sweet spot for last 2 I build is around 5.5-5.8A.

Someone says 6 and someone says 7 which is freaking lol And Djozz says 4.5

[The_Driver1 (The_Driver)]

I say 4A for small lights.

I agree

Machined/Modified the Copper (press fit pill) Quad 4xXP-L HI V3 5000k of a KRONOS X5 to do double duty…

With a 18650 tube running a VTC5A it makes 3890lms

KW CSLNM1.TG Triple…

The head I made out of 2 different scrap pieces of Aluminum… 15amps/2240lm

I built RGBW_Clicky into an S41 host for my GAW.
Emitters are:
R: XP-E
G: XP-E2
B: XT-E
W: XP-L HI

Any single channel high is 2A, turbo (all 4 @ 100%) draws >5A from my vapcels. Now that it’s done I see I probably shouldnt have used an XT-E behind a multi-lens optic like the carlco quad but I like how there arnt just 3 boring XP-E2 colors so I’m not gonna change it.

I got this set up so it draws around 5.2A from a fully charged cell so I think it’s in the good range.
I was a little apprehensive sticking a fully charged Aspire 18350 in it with the FET driver so started with the cell at about 50% and worked my way up

I really don’t know how you are making all your builds. So much passion into each build… So this is build/creation and not just a mod like most of us do…

[CRX]

Yeah well, I’ve been trying to get the thread title changed to “What did you mod or build today”

I know you have your own thread for CRX builds but you ‘could’ start a ’ what did CRX do today ’ thread :laughing: :laughing: :heart_eyes:

Nice colour mod CK :+1:

Some major modifications going on there kawiboy, nice :+1:

[CRX]

That could be interesting…

Nice!
Are XT-E colors different?

@~~X3~~

Except there’s nothing to gain by allowing 7+ amperes through the 1mm² variant…
You can’t just throw it in a FET driven thrower and expect the best performances

@ZozzV6

@bilakos10

It’s pulling around 7.2A

It seems a lot.
Mine turns blue at 6.6A fet driven turbo and output is lower. I found for me the top lumens was around 5-5.5A Under or above that it drops down.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I ended up swapping the driver with a 12x7135 nanjg, which resulted in 4.35A

[X31 (-X3-)]

I guess you didn’t lose any intensity
The 2mm² variant has more current capability, mine is fed by a Liitkala 26650 through a TA FET driver.

Nice mods/builds KB.

Thanks Steve!

My first mod! I know its baby stuff compared to what most people are doing around here, but it’s my first and I’m proud of it. Thanks to this thread by NeutralFan Convoy C8 Mod - The WOW Factor I gathered the courage to finally try an LED and Driver swap.

You should be! It’s not the destination that counts, but the journey.
And you just have taken the first step(s).

[bilakos10]

Swapped the original LED from the Fomolov 18650s for an XP-L HI NW.
I have no hot air station available, so I reflowed with my usual method - PCB placed above a candle's flame.

Thank you! Yes, I’ve gained some much needed confidence too. I’m planning my next mod that will be a Convoy S2+ build for practice before I attempt to mod my Thrunite TN31.
