I have 3 2020 drivers on the way, wil report in… in maybe 6 weeks to 6 months.
In the meantime ive installed another 2019 to replace my 2019 2020. Am i confused enough? I was straining to find a difference. Now makes sense, this early batch would have “old” drivers. I meant older than now, i forget there were 8 years previous to my awakening and seeing the light.
Im hesitant to short another driver, in my impatience I’m adding small etape barrier.
What would be advantages of the kraton tape i see you guys using? or liquid etape, i can infer the advantage of that, application wouldve been easier and protective layer, like secondhand potting?
Im reporting the “grease hole” took some grease, not as much as i would want. Even working the 100 degrees or so of rotation I’m sure I’m barely getting 30 % of what i want in there. The grease would go through to other side of the ring at least but did not feel like it was filling any cavity, see pic.
I may have to get the gloves, vise grips, pot o water snd freezer out and do something. But that said… there is a significant improvement and dampening of the ring. I would want a little stiffer but it’s an order of magnitude better.
Im thinking this is more an oil or very light grease hole. Don’t know if that makes sense but i don’t know what else it would be given the limited coverage with the rotation limited to just over 1/4 turn. Maybe it’s more like 1/3 turn. 120 degrees ish. But more viscous liquid would wick in…
The last one is just some misc homework i did while i procrastinate reassembling the rrt01. Eliminate speigeldot on 319 triple with new secondaries via med frosted… plus other off topic stuffs
What is correct order of reassembly after mcpcb?
Spacer ring, reflector then is it oring-glass-bezel or glass-oring-bezel??
Please advise.
I took a picture of my first disassembly and it looks like oring glass bezel, which seems wrong compared to ALL my other lights (not positive about that but there’s a definite trend to oring outside of glass just looking over my desk here). But i lined up what i thought was the disassembly order in my pic. I’m doubting my memory now. Wtfs happening, shouldn’t i know this?
I think i understand the principle of sealing at the outermost layer… but the rrt seems to like it the other way. Help pls.
My imugr pics still commentable, someone just asked why i don’t just buy a new light. Said it looked like a lot of work snd effort for a flashlight! Haha, if they only knew what happens here! What’s the post count for this one particular topic? Haha we suck! That’s ok, no offense anyone.
