Todayās mod was one of the more tricky ones for me but turned out well.
Got a Sunwayman V11R during the random eBay deal a few months ago that like 30+ of us jumped on
Thanks toddcshoe for that deal thread and moderator007 for documenting his previous mods on this oneā¦
Broke this free with the underside of my huge gaming mousepad, I think it was red loctite. Now I have a cramp in my finger. Only managed one small scuff on the ano that you can see in the bottom right piece.
Original ~14mm MCPCB and XM-L U2, bye Felicia
Seeing how much I have to take off my 16mm XP board, aside from filing a few 20mm triple boards for the E2L I have never done this before.
The only grinder I have, itās made for sharpening knives. 120 coarse belt never gets used on knives anyways, lets tryā¦
Ugly, but it gets the job done. LH351D 4000K 90CRI, GET TO THE COPPAH
Hey, it works. Glad I saved this one. It was from a failed re-flow attempt on a Q8 where I killed 2/4 LEDs with turbo. These were first group buy 4K which I really like the tint of, glad she lives to see another day.
The super low moon this light is sometimes known for looks neat.
Beam is good
I left out the metal washer/spacer thing so I could tighten the head and get the slop out of the variable ring. Thanks moderator007. Itās possible to over tighten it now but it wont be an issue, easy to adjust.
Random XP centering ring from Kaidomain was a perfect fit.
I ended up thinning the MCPCB too but I wish now that I hadnāt. Iām sure itās not flat/level on the bottom but hopefully itās close enough to make a good heat path. At least we are using copper nowā¦
