What did you mod today?

IF25A modded with 2700k SST20s (JA3) and D-C-Fix (not in image). I wasn’t a big fan of the beam profile and somewhat greenish tint of the stock 4000k LEDs. Now it’s perfect for me. :slight_smile:

regards Xandre

Need an account to see this.

Handy torch site….not. Even with setting the default settings from German to English site translation, it still presents as German!!!
Anyway once signed up the link still doesn’t allow access.

There’s 20min of my life I wont ever get back :slight_smile:
Vunderbar

I should have told you :smiley: .

Keine Ahnung, was los ist, Xandre, aber ich sehe das auch nicht.

Ich wünschte ich wüsste was los ist!!!..aber leider ist mein Deutsch so gut wie mein Swahili

Swapping L21A’s Sst40 with Sft40, sanded down the top of the emitter gasket, and modding the driver to 8A.

Sorry the album was privat,
now it works ?

Yep.

Now that’s a head. How many cd?

We hope over 54 MCD :smiley:
to get on the top.

Regards Xandre

Holy crap!

That flashlight head is huge.

is it high cri? :wink:

I could not agree more. They will get dropped and that thin aluminum is not very strong. My EDC FW3’s and FW1’s all have them.

[presumably from thinwall Al tubing of the S11C?]

“Doc, it hurts when I do this…”

“So don’t do that.”

There’s always a price to pay. You want lightweight, you gotta have less metal. You want sturdy, you need more metal.

I got a Xeno E03 which takes 14500/AA, but is almost the size/weight of a compact 18650 light. The walls are so thick, it even has “finger-grooves” milled into the side for better grip. That’s thick. And it’s heavy.

With the S11C, you slip that into your pocket and it almost disappears because it’s so light. Some people value that vs being able to baton a killin’ knife into a log with your flashlight without damage.

It just depends on what you want.

Lightbringer, I mostly agree. But, weight is not the issue. I like the little bit of sturdy protection on the front end of the light to protect my investment, after all they always hit the ground nose first. :slight_smile: The FWAA is borderline underpowered for an EDC, but some days in some pants if fits well. Otherwise I am normally going to carry an 18650 light.

Maybe it’s just me, but the only time I ever dropped a light was when I had my MH20 precariously balanced on my bike’s seat when poking around in the dark.

I try to not drop my lights, like, ever. :laughing:

Some are tools, some are shelf queens and some are in between. I don’t try to, but it does happen. I work around gensets, mechanical vaults and data centers… crap happens.

That may be true, but sometimes your cat(s) help sweep them off the table onto the floor.

Actually it was on a sort of pile of papers and mail that I didn’t get to yet, and that was off a coffee-table, so total drop was a paltry 8” or so.

Work-lights, absolutely, you need rugged. That’s why you’d pick Snap-On vs JiffyTool.

But for the average schmo who wants a light light (ha!), the S11C would be great.

Sofirn IF25 clip mod inspired by M2R clip mod (S2+ clip also fits D4. :smiley: )

The mod takes basically the same method as M2R mod with a rotary tool / grinder to make the bezel slimmer fit.

Sofirn SP35/IF25 clip, Convoy S2+ Clip, Emisar D4 clip

Modded IF25 clip (2.80mm) vs Unmodified IF25 Clip (5mm)

Perfect on S2+ and D4v2, (The M2R is deeper than IF25 clip but it’s few extra dollars more)
