The Sky-Ray King Thrower Mod........ It's Finished! Beam shots are up

Nice to see the build back on track! :slight_smile:

Tail cap and contact plate assembly is now done. Photos in the OP show how to turn the SRK tail cap into a Nitecore Tail Cap.

You’ve had the old grey matter working overtime on this one. I dont think you would be happy if a mod just worked. Nicely done.

Yup, if there’s an easy way, I just would not want to do it. Takes all the fun out of it.

Brilliant solution to the tailcap issue, Justin! You 'da man! :beer:

Very nicely implemented tailcap solution.

this mod is AWESOME looking already

what driver/current are you going to go for?

DrJones 3 amp lumodrv driver with six extra chips. 5100mA.

WOW nice!

I did about all I can do today with the LED, star and other components. Photos in the OP.

Now I wait for the driver to show up the end of next week... Maybe.

Heehee I spot your mistake…The emitter’s +ve and -ve are reversed :bigsmile:

His greatness is flawed! He is fallible!

Yup, little dot on the emitter is the negative. I’ve never made that mistake… 0:)

there’s the emitter rverse polarity and I’m assuming power get to the emitter via bluetooth…… :bigsmile: J) 0:)

It was one of those days. The kind of day when the wife just goes and hides with the cat. That mistake was just one of several "issues" that morning. It doesn't make any diffference really, as long as I don't forget and hook up the wires wrongrightimeanwrong, when I have forgotten in a day or so.

just use an xacto knife to knock the vertical legs off the +, then mark a vertical line through the neg with a magic marker so you don’t forget.

The light is finished. Photos and text added in the OP. Beam shots tonight.

Sweet!

“Oh well, it is still very bright and somewaht unique.”

Somewhat unique? You set the bar to high Old-Lumens. It is very unique. I love it.
What do you personally think about the Dr Jones driver?

@RaceR86

I like the DrJones driver. I just like the idea of ramping up or down in an easy manner. That way I can set the brightness to where I feel it should be, instead of someone's preset. Plus, it comes from another member and I like that idea too.

Do you or anyone know if there is a video out there, complete guide to how the UI works?
It sounds fairly complicated when I read about it here , but that may not be the case.

That’s all I know of.
