Thanks
I took it from an old 10$ bike light I had and I was lucky because the quality is very good and strong and also it has a screw to take it of the old light and screw it to the plate.
I will soon upload some night shots or video soon
Nice!
I’m going to start a very similar project, my 5t6 was delivered just today. Now I have to find a switch for the handlebar, I want to find a handlebar mount for 2 switches, to install an on/off switch in series with a temporary NC switch to change the modes. Obviously I need only one, but for the off road ride I like to practice, it’s better to have a dedicated switch only ,to change modes. I don’t like when I accidentally switch off the light when I only wanted to change the mode.
Now I have to pay some beers to a lathe operator friend, and find the switch, and some kind of clamp made with gun mounts
Nice job, lets see those beamshots or videos, I didn’t have time to check my light today, I’m waiting for the night…
very nice… i always want to do this to one of my lights… maybe with Trustfire TR-J18
thanks for the tip…
how do you keep the spring to stay on the plate?
Thanks DayLighter.
I am waiting for your project
I heated the spring and manage to stuck it on a RC servo plate I had , or else I was going to glue them together.
And after I glue and screw it with the aluminum plate.
They say now 50 pieces , but at November you could order one holder for 2.55 $.
The only problem with this one is that’s very difficult to fit protected 18650 - with my Panasonic 3100 protected there is no way to fit them (bigger than others).
So for this project I use my Samsung 2800 unprotected
You will have to wait for that , we have a very cold weather and snow here in Greece - like in all Europe - but I will try soon.
But you will see the same beam shots like others reviewers - it’s always the same APEX , maybe a video will be more interesting.
Until my new APEX 5T6 BIKE LIGHT video is ready you can watch my older videos for two patents I’ve made , not for flashlights .
One is for making a waterproof-diving case for my small 808#16 HD camera with 1.5 euro.
I am using this camera with my hand made diving flashlight 3T6 2000 lumens
