Reylight Lan Mokume Gane XP-L HI 5000K - Electronic Tail Switch

Nice :+1:

My pleasure :+1:

Thanks mate :beer:

Yeah, so that is the sort of setup we were talking about the D10 with the e-switch connection going to a contact disc on the driver.

I looked at the brass ring in the driver and thought of that, but then remembered the Novatac and maybe other mods you’ve made and left me a doubt, as you use the copper sheet throughout the body!
Still, once you used a switch instead and not a Piston Driver System, how did you do it in the pill/driver/ring side?
That still bothers me in the intention of modding my D10, as I’m afraid I can’t make the right connection on the “head side” :zipper_mouth_face:

This is definitely a keeper, the light is gorgeous :heart_eyes:

From how I’m building the D10 with e-switch in my mind you would do the same as I have done here with the thin e-switch contact ring fixed on top of your new driver, you would have the switch contact ring made so it sits under the movable sprung split ring, insulated from everything else so only when you press the piston, it presses down on the sprung split ring until it contacts the e-switch disc thus connecting to ground.
Should work I think, but I could be missing something as I don’t have the light to ponder over, like I said it is tricky and you would need to watch how much reduced piston switch travel there is due to the extra contact ring on the driver which is why I suggested stripping the original driver, but you will have a better idea when you have the light.
The stock D10 is working in the exact same way with a separate switch contact ring under the moving split ring.

Nice mod with the E-switch :+1:

So you are up for the challenge?? :innocent: :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks for the answer CRX! I already have the light, but I didn’t have the time (nor the driver yet) to mess with it!
When I “dismantle” it, I’ll test and take some photos so that I can manage to see if I got the “whole picture” you’ve mentioned to me!
I will not bother you more with this till then :stuck_out_tongue:
And thanks for your hints and inspiration with these mods :+1:

Haha :smiley: :+1:
I can make a tube for carrying a switch signal inside the battery tube from 0.2mm copper sheet no problem but I wouldn’t do it for making something like a hand made rotary controlled light made from 1.5mm titanium. Sheesh. :wink:
You got yours yet?

Still waiting :email:

Congratulations, what a beautiful light. I’m curious how it’ll age too. I’m sure it’ll look better and better especially if its carried a lot.

can you advise what driver are you using?
thanks.

Lovey light, and great mods as ever.

This was a discussion about how to fit a new ramping driver into a Nitecore D10.

Wait, there is more… :smiley:
Protective carbon fibre felt lined holster & spare cell carrier/ charger.

Wow, that holster is way cool :heart_eyes: :+1:

Thanks :beer:
Yeah I’m feared ae droppin this light :smiley:

WoW !

Regards Xandre

I’ve been looking for D10 driver’s replacement but still no luck.
I thought you can advise the driver name so I can try it too.

Thanks.

Just when you think you’ve seen all the awesome there is to see, you make something more awesome!

Wow, fantastic work CRX! I wish I had the talent to do stuff like this. I am OK living vicariously through you, because you provide so many thorough details and photos. Also, love that holster you made for the Lan Mokume. :+1:

After one week of me using & handling the light.

I don't know of a direct replacement, maybe a modified FET + 7135 Driver - 15mm - MTN-15DDm would work but like I said you would need to add an e-switch contact on top of the board, this is what I installed in the Mokume LAN.

Thanks mate :THUMBS-UP:

Thanks for your explanation. Loud and clear.
