What did you mod today?

You got your 18650S working with an Attiny? Will it run Anduril?

Cereal_killer · February 1, 2019, 9:04pm

Baby steps.

The t85 is a different beast than the 13a… The end goal is a direct replacement FET+1 running anduril!

Firelight2 · February 1, 2019, 9:11pm

Yes please!

It would be AWESOME to have Anduril in a tailcap mounted driver that doesn’t need an extra electrical connection to the head. With such a driver, it wouldn’t be hard to mod any tailcap clicky light into an e-switch light with Anduril.

when are you going to sell these Anduril tailcap drivers? I’ll take 10!

Reminds me of the game Operation.

For this one you will truly need to be a surgeon:

Very nice! Love the way the texture on the battery tube is done

(nails were very nicely done too :party: )

Thanks for your comments .

It looks fantastic! 2.2 amps keeps it somewhat tame with the heat. What material is that? Looks to be an SS bezel, but the rest I'm not sure of. Probably laum or titanium because of the light weight?

k_4 · February 4, 2019, 2:47pm

Hi Tom , it’s all aluminium, 2024 in classification on Europe and USA. Just it is polished … 22 Watts is turbo mode and it’s not long, because PI regulator control the overheat, it just about 30 sec , then power is slowly down and stabilizated on the thermal balanse.
P.s. sorry for my bad English

Cool

Wow. That is some great work. Good Job Tamagotchi and K_4

Firelight2 · February 4, 2019, 6:19pm

Agreed. Awesome job!!!

Where do I place my order for the group-buy?

staticx57 · February 4, 2019, 6:58pm

That is one sharp looking light

Trying to make a lighted switch for my D4.

I bought a ton of tiny colored 0603 LEDs from Amazon ($14 for 360 in various colors).

… but now I need resistors for them.

QUESTION: What resistors should I buy? … preferably a link to suitable resistors from Amazon.

Thanks!

ZozzV6 · February 5, 2019, 2:51am

I need to know more of this

Today I dedomed an XHP70.2 again that will fit in a resistor modded Thorfire S70S with an L6 SMO reflector.

contactcr · February 5, 2019, 3:06am

So when are you selling these LEDs?

ZozzV6 · February 5, 2019, 3:36am

If there is a demand for it I can do it but each led is around 20-30 minutes to finish and shipping costs added all things almost triple the led price. I don’t think anybody will pay that much. If there is a significant demand I can make them.

And almost forgot:
Made another C8+ and an Eagle eye X6 with Osram White flat 1mm2

Did some simple work on a friends Q8, put 4 SST-40’s on a LED4Power quad board made for the Q8, swapped out the MOSFET for a 404, opened up the reflector aperture’s to fit over the entire substrate of the 40’s, replaced the springs with stacked Blue springs… the Q8 now has a nice defined hot spot and does 11,200+ lumens at start on new 30Q’s.
