Remove the head from the body, you can see two Ali rings and the driver, the inner ring is the pill. Mine was loose, I’d already removed the bezel, lense and reflector, there are no divets anywhere to aid removal, you could either pop out the driver and drill two 1/16th holes or just improvise.
There are a lot of threads, over an inch of the buggers. The pill unscrews from the body side of the head.
Ok, I gotcha! Picture is worth a thousand words! I knew which part was the pill, but didn't realize it could be unscrewed from the back side (pills generally unscrew out the front end).
Got the first two covered already, the third will have to wait until after Noon.
Edit: Remembered I have a cheap strap wrench from Harbor Freight - worked like a charm! My reflector is plastic, but it is very good quality. The whole head is put together very well with a snug O-ring between the lens and reflector, plastic isolation disk on the LED, etc.
Maybe it's some Chinese newly invented alloy which is made from aluminum and plastic combined. Some people are seeing it as plastic, while others see it as aluminum but it's really the same. :) Just a thought.
Well that sounds to me like a good quality plastic reflector - one that's very hard to tell it's plastic. I don't mind plastic reflectors when their decent quality.
No, viffer's one is definitely aluminium. There are two variants here.
What I'm trying to establish is whether DX is selling out aluminium and Manafont using plastic, OR whether it's just lottery luck no matter where you order.
It would help members to choose where they will purchase which variant. I'd go with alu anytime, maybe they're the same reflecting quality but there's a big difference in heatsinking.
If I remember, I believe viffer got his from Manafont and so did BetweenRides (who has plastic as stated above) and myself (not yet determined plastic or aluminum).
Both the Small Sun ZY-T13 and ZY-T16 have aluminium reflector in the desscription but the ZY-T08 description does not state whether it's aluminium or plastic on the Manafont website
