What did you mod today?

Ouch! It seems every mod has its own challenges, but glad you figured it out.

this:

FW3Pilot

Yes, it did. I was surprised how heavy anna optic is in comparison with carclo quad.

Awesome, thanks.

Im glad you asked… I also wondered

the video shows the beam is still very nice…

Impressed I am. :+1:

Agreed.

My Sanremu knives!
I bough 2 “spyderco-like” pocket clips and some screws/rivets and finally gave them deep carry clips :sunglasses:


My E3S came in - the last purple they had in-stock on their aliexpress store. The UI is steaming hot garbage, so: is this board/BOM available? I think assembly will be easier on the shorty at least.

My boards are available on Oshpark, so are Loneoceans’s if you’re interested in the aux. Almost all parts are fairly standard FET+1 components with the exception of the attiny1616 instead of the attiny85. Unfortunate with the chip shortage those are pretty much impossible to get right now.

Awesome thanks - I forgot to check again, and the last time I looked I didn’t see it (may have been my oversight).

I’ve actually got an assembled loneoceans aux board from my Lume1 which I’ve decided is unusable (due to lack of RPP). I’ll order it eventually, between that and the 1616.

"GT90 Mini" - OK, so i know others have done this already, but what a FUN setup. Gt mini pro (OP reflector) with the sbt90.2 in it. I selected the mini pro because of its higher amp driver, otherwise i really wanted to use a smooth reflector version like the standard GT mini. But the OP reflector actually works pretty well, and i am definitely getting close to the KCD if not more than my ft03 xhp50.2.. Going to take some measurements after i tidy up the install of the sbt90.2 by reaming the reflector and centering it a bit better.

Haha that’s awesome! How quickly and how hot does it get on turbo?

I have the thermal regulation turned off (thanks to the awesome gt driver) and honestly it takes about a minute which is way better than I thought it would be. I feel like I can push it more, I may try bypassing the springs this weekend see if that gets me anywhere. I am running a molicel P26a battery. It is fun though!

Tiablo A8 with 5A driver and SST40 :smiley:

So today I built my old Thorfire VG-10S light into a gift for my father, who will be visiting soon (finally everyone is vaccinated and he gets to meet his 9mo granddaughter).

  • LD-A4 driver at 6A
  • Luxeon V with on-MCPCB NTC
  • Large BlueSwordM springs at each end

I also almost completed my Sofirn D25S build - only to realize I only had one 16mm 3535 MCPCB. D’oh!

  • LEDIL Anna TIRs
  • LH351D “Dogfarts” (SPHWHTL3DA0GF4RTS6) 5000K nominal
  • Quadrupel Fet+1 Anduril driver
  • Pink switch LEDs (since my D10 has red)
  • Thanks to both Quadrupel and Tom E for this one

And then I reflowed Nichia 219b sw45k into my Thrunite Ti5T. Gorgeous.

I have more mods planned but that’s all I had time for tonight.

I also put a cslnm1 in my Convoy M21c with 6amp 12 mode driver. The thing THROWS! It's the same one I heated the SS bezel on to a golden color. I'll have to post a beam shot, it's a 55mm head size with a cslnm1 osram, really awesome setup. It might rival my CULPM1 K1 in throw really, or get pretty close.

my next mod- CULPM1 and 8aml driver came in from Simon, going to put them in a m21a I have that currently has an sst40 (the sst40 is just not impressive in the m21a when I compare it to my original with 6 amp with cslpm1). I'm thinking this 8 amp driver with CULPM1 in the m21a will be quite fun!

Artiet59, congrats on post #10,000!

"I missed it by that much."

10,000 posts in a thread that was started as a response to “modding is dead”’. I guess this number tells it all :slight_smile:

RC, thank you! funny thing is I had no idea, and Probably would never have known if it did not come up..

not going to lie, it feels special, but I also wish it was someone a little more worthy That got that spot. Post number 10,000, a random guy talking about swappin an LED in a Convoy... lol.

Yeah, we’re the Mod Squad.
