I have to wonder if one of the xpg tripples will fit… and what sort of currents can be squeezed out of the driver.
Isn’t the light floody enough already? 
Yeah….I just did it to try it out
I kinda like it with the TIR, maybe because I didn’t use it but 4 minutes with the reflector…hmmm
Damn you all, have been watching this thread and holding back… I couldn’t take it any longer …. ordered the SC03…
Good Day,
.
Could someone that has the Solarstorm SC02, Please let me know if a Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mAh Protected battery will fit in it?
(Fasttech says that maximum battery length is 67mm, But can we trust what they say? 
)
.
Otherwise Please let me know which battery You use in the Solarstorm SC02.
.
Thank You Very Much,

I have one on the way, ill get some pictures and measurements when it gets here.
Good Day Serifus,

Ok, has anyone successfully disassembled a SC01? What is up with the extra - wire? I got mine apart far enough to swap out the reflector for a TIR but couldn’t get the pill out (pressed in? because screwing it out ain’t happening)
Im going to hazzard a guess that the 3rd wire is a ground for the isolated central heat pad, ill see how far i can get one of mine apart when they get here.
The star is held down by two small hex screws…I didn’t try to remove mine
Well, my tracking updated and they should be here in the next few days.
Post #67 shows the exposed star with the 3 wires. Also, couldn't get mine apart - got the bezel off though.
Not a good sign for weekend modders when TomE can't get it apart
. There's a lot of things I can't get to open up lately. Actually I've been on a run of sorts of disappointments, at least I feel that way. Maybe it's the arthritis in the hands, strained ligaments in the elbow, back aches, dunno. I sure got a lot of excuses though 
.
Sometimes you just feel like taking a hammer or a saw to it and see what results. Reminds me of that show where they cut things up to see what makes it tick... (ahh: "Sliced" was the show)
well, mine arrived, and I really like the 01. the 02 was doa though, and it definitely has some sort of press fit pill and uses regular 16mm mpcb. im going to see if i can get it pressed out, and see why its doa. it also has a 3rd wire, but it is soldered to the body instead of the led like in the 01, so its definitely some sort of ground plane connection. also there is more then enough room in the sc02 for protected batteries
the Pill in the sc2 is definitely pressed in, I took a bit of wood about the diameter of an 18650 and tapped it out, will post pictures shortly
Turns out it was a bad solder on the led wires, I swapped it out with a glorious 5B tint and am really happy with it will post pictures soon
And its toast again. The switch is actually really fragile and not well attached to the board, there is some strain relief for it into the pill but it doesn’t seem to help very much. also it is very susceptible to shutting off when bumped on the bottom
Finally got my SC01 and 14500 from Fasttech! Delivered in 13 days!
Both at Highest mode.
UR14500P
AA Ni-MH
This flashlight will be perfect if:
- it comes with memory mode
- LOW mode is lower
thanks for the comparisson!

Mine is definitely the XM-L2. Is the light you received SolarStorm branded or did they substitute the FandyFire?
It’s SolarStorm branded
(BG sticker says SKU-129255 NW)
(So I’m crying in the wrong topic…)
So what do I do now?
(Cry in the BG topic, I guess…)
