What did you mod today?

Thx Jon!

Oh i agree

Mine also have the R020 resistors. So it appears changing the resistor (like to R030) with these newer drivers won’t reduce the max current?

No you can :
Vsense = R * I
Vsense = Rnew * Inew
Rnew = R * I/Inew
As you said Rnew = 30 mΩ for Inew = 4A if I = 6A.

That seems way too complicated to me. :cry:

I’m fine with just having the Convoy SST40 drivers max out at 50% for my E17As.

I reprogrammed the tail in my v11r. Due to the slow pwm it screwed with the camera and i couldn’t get an accurate video representation. In person it looks like a burning ember (kind of a sped up candle flicker)

Very nice. What clip do you have on your v11r?

It’s an mcbrat clip. Some clearer pics here

What better and fast method to make the surface of the shelf lapping and remove those residual steps?

I thought first file the edges of the pill (2mm height of material) and then get to the shelf with fine sandpaper

I never found an easy and good way to lap a surface inside a cavity, just tedious imperfect ways. But on some occasions when that was no problem I have indeed removed the entire edge of a pill, then it is easy to make a perfect surface.

Looks like that pill screws in from the front of the torch. So it relies on the ‘lip’ to stop the pill screwing in too far.

So long as you don’t completely remove that lip or the tweezer holes, it’ll be easiest to cut back the edges like you mentioned.

like this?

Yes,pill it’s from old C8 with glued 16mm Led…that I would mod with 3A driver + SST20 or 5A XP-G2.
At least the shelf is not concave,but have machine marks and lacks screws that hold mcpcb.
I’m afraid that the pressure of the plastic reflector isn’t enought for heat transfert,
I have also a spare Alu reflector,but it will require a 20mm mcpcb to avoid short circuit and enlarge holes cables

in this flashlight i have a SST40 driver 5000 Ma and a XHP50.2 3v and no reflactor because it’s a zoomie, no heat problem

Zoomie’s usually have screwed down mcpcb and/or a threaded shroud over the pill that presses on the centering ring/mcpcb. These things serve the same purpose as bezel pressing down on reflector/mcpcb.

Added some glow … sorry ‘turbo glow’ to the fwaa tonight. (apparently you can’t just say glow anymore, it has to be turbo :wink: )

yes i know, for me works without any

Cool! :sunglasses:
May I ask where did you get it or how did you do it?

It’s not that hard. Just a bit of glow tape stuck to the inner circumference of the head :person_with_crown:

AHHH! :smiley: The same kind I normally do :stuck_out_tongue:
I just thought it was a “triple” glow gasket and was wondering if they were for sale out there!

I need to order some more GITD tape so I can “turbo glow” it :wink:
