Modding a Trustfire TR-A9 - It's done, Beam shots are Up.

Is the driver you used a drJones nanjg 105c 8+2 amc’s you added???

I’ve just finished listening to the video and now you tell me your nearly finished? Are we in some sort off time warp? I’m sure I read somewhere that it was hot and you may take awhile to finish this as you may only get an hour in the morning. Or am I asleep and dreaming?

I like to bitch. If it ain’t worth bitchin about, it ain’t worth doin.

Besides, it was an easy build and it cooled off after the front moved through.

The light is done now and I will do beam shots tonight.

Can’t wait to see the beam shots!!

Is the bezel actually SS or just bare aluminum?

I liked the song too. And I’ve never heard it till now :exmark:

awesome!

It’s SS

i like the looks of this light now. black and silver…oakland raiders color. plus it has a side switch! never even heard of this light till now, looking forward to beam shots.

Beam shots are up, in the OP.

You never cease to amaze me.

Nice job O-L, decent gains without changing the emitter!

Didn’t I see you standing by the highway with a “Will bitch for food” sign?

So you’re the one that threw the rotten eggs!YellTongue Out

Thats quite an improvement. Are you happy with the way its turned out?

I saw this pop up on Fasttech. First thing I did was check BLF, and of course OL has one modded already :)

This is like the SRK with a momentary switch, correct? Do you just unscrew the tailcap slightly to prevent parasitic drain?

It has a momentary switch, but the tail cap has nothing to do with ground. The circuit is complete without relying on grounding the body. When you have four cells in series, both the positive and negative end up at one end (the top), so the driver/contact plate has both positive and negative in it and the circuit is complete. You can’t isolate this light unless you take out the batteries. (in stock form, or modified form).

EDIT: That is why the EA4/8 has a clicky and smd built right into one switch. The clicky shuts it off (isolates) and the smd controls modes.

Nice mod!

How do you remove the reflector? I have the bezel off and the o-ring that surrounds the top of the reflector. Do I need to remove the switch for it to come out?

I have slept since then.Wink I think it just came out by turning the light upside down and tapping it on the table, (with a rag under it for protection).

Got it! It took a bit of careful prying with a small flat head, I think the plastic led centering thing was holding on tight.
