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

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.

Tried the lumo35drv version for ramping?

Thanks for making this thread without scary people. :slight_smile: You again have scared me though with all that wiring and them driver thingy bits. Off to the shrink I go again. :_( Do you know where the centering ring for the reflector came from? Almost forgot. Well done on finishing this at times troublesome build. I suppose this light from the get go was designed to be a flooder. I’ll send my pill, star and led over to you to join all the bits together at once as you have done here. With my ability I’m sure to get one off the four areas to dry solder.

Beam shots are up now, in the OP

The centering ring was out of an old Magcharger light. Just spare parts laying around.

Rip the dome off that sucker! :bigsmile:

comfychair may have a good idea there. I haven’t successfully dedomed one yet though. It would be nice to know what the current at the tailcap was to see if that was a reason that it does not live up to your expectations but you would need ten good hands to do that. Speaking off hands hows the finger? Cheers, Bored.

Great mod OL. I can't imagine the amount of work you put into this stuff.

Just wondering if the NiMH cells are supposed to be able to vent around the tip. From the photos it seems like the epoxy holding the magnets might prevent this.

Or am I not seeing it clearly.

I once saw the rubber tailcap on one of my 3xAA lights puff up like a mushroom when I somehow lost track of my cells and put a lesser charged one in with two fresh ones. Cell reversal, venting, balloon at the tailcap before I noticed. (I was using it as a bike light one very dark night.)

Inventive, ingenius, inthemailtomenodoubt. :slight_smile: Nice beam as well, in spite of all the issues this one has worked out well…like most of your lights end up.

Well done!

Someone else maybe, but not me. I’ve done it before, but really don’t want to again. Actually, all I want to do, is to stipple the reflector and smooth out the beam.

Wow. For a moment, I thought the moon had chosen to rest awhile on that wall. It’s so round and bright

AMAZING mod, good work :slight_smile:
