Mine was a pain to get the driver ring loose, I ended having to hook a flat tip screwdriver into one of the holes on the ring and really hork down on trying to spin it, once it popped loose it is easy to take in and out
this is true, Here at the School of Vet Medicine, Horks will get there own special pin and have to be kept away from other animals as they are very aggresive. If you are lucky enough to find an water bound Hork and if you decide to keep him/her, they will need alot of attention as they are very social animals.
I got my nose plier and finnaly managed open it and to move the + to the other + , now its better but not better than my Convoy c8 at stock,
do you think the F13, with a 3A driver ( + 0.380mah*2 ) can handle 3.8A without problems ( of course with a good 26650 ) ?
I’d put as thin a layer of thermal goo (Arctic ceramic, as I had it handy) on the black anodized flat part, then placed my replacement 20mm Nichia star there and turned it back and forth a bunch of times, thinking I was spreading the goop evenly. Soldered the wires, made sure the reflector pressed down around the emitter when tight, used it a while, then the color went wonky — the dome and phosphor fell off the LED.
Oops. So I took it out.
Well, lookit that.
The black anodized “plane” is a shallow dish shape,not flat — it still had goop covering it evenly, but the contact with the star was only around the edges. Looking at the back of the star, there was no contact anywhere except around the edges.
Put in a different emitter (Noctigon this time) using more thermal paste.
But I guess I need to get out some fine sandpaper, or something, to make the emitter’s back match the flashlight’s front.
