Iā€™m in France, even if it doesnā€™t matter any more. :slight_smile:

- became member of BLF before 13th August 2014
Check

- can do driver change and will do brief review of the stock and moded light
Iā€™m an electronics engineer so no problem for electronics but Iā€™m not a mechanical engineerā€¦ I have basic skills though and know people that have a lathe.
I can do a quick review. I already did reviews you can check here and here

  • one post per member and notice if he is the MTB or any other type of cyclist
    I do practice Mountain Bike. Here are my two bikes:


    I only go MTB during the day but Iā€™ve been thinking about riding at night for quite some time. As you can see my bikes lack some lumens for that though. :slight_smile:

Overall I would be more than happy to get and review that light!

I am a regular Mountain Biker and I, together with my two sons, usually ride at night. Each of our bikes have SolarStorm X2 bike lights installed. Since Iā€™m into modding, I replaced the emitters in my X2 with XM-L2 T6 3Bs because I like a warmer tint. I also modified the MCPCBs like this:

However the X2ā€™s throw is limited and I canā€™t see far enough when riding in a highway at night so I added a SingFire SF90 beside it. The X2 now serves as my Low Beam and the SF90, which I modified with a dedomed XM-L2 T6 1B on modded MCPCB, is now my High Beam, and my bike now looks like this:

If I win that bike light I think I could have both high beam and low beam because Iā€™m planning on dedoming the LEDs for throw (aside from the driver change that you wish). The 6 LED set-up would automatically cause a wide bright spill even with dedomed LEDs.

Please do count me in! :bigsmile:

Pushing this thread up a bit.....

When you post ā€ Pushing this thread up ā€œ. Whatā€™s your meaning

for that :quest:

It is to shows up higher on the list of the recent posts. It's meaning is to remind members of this giveaway. ;-)

Ok, now that makes the meaning a little clearer to me. :wink:

I ride a mountain bike occasionally. Don't have a lathe, but haven't met a light I couldn't modify with my drill press and imagination. Thank you for the opportunity ledoman and GearBest.

ImA4Wheelr, so you think you could mod it with drill press and I should count you in? You might be right.

There you'll have to drill two step ring. The outer to fit diameter of the new driver (ie. 28mm) and the second deeper with about 26mm dia so the elements from the circuit would take a place. Hope you understand what I mean.

I can. I've done stuff like that plenty of times. Just make a jig for the head so that it can be rotated against a high speed cutting and/or an end mill bit. There are other ways as well.

Great, then I can put you on the list, right?

Hi eta, can you confirm you can do the modification (also lathe work) and short review so I can put you on the list of participants?

Living in Italy

I am a member BLF about 1 year

I have a MTB

Can I change the light, my friends have suitable tools.

I've done a lot of modding flashlights!

This is my last lighthouse MTB, at a cost low enough,

I need to output a forum friends cpfitaly! will be powered

with 12x18650 4S3P;)

I'll have to install an additional lens on the LED to increase the shot!

I hope you like it!

8) BAM!

i like ā€œover the topā€

You call this a giveaway?

I ride my bike on the the New York State Barge Canal (Erie Canal?) almost every night, and would certainly appreciate this light.

But I do not mod, and am sure I will not need a mod, to enjoy this awesome light. OMG, how much light do you need to see in front of you?

I do not own a lathe.

Sorry backpacker, the modification is mandatory as it becames a whole new light with much better user interface and efficiency. You are right it could be used unchanged, but we are strugling to have the best we can, don't we. That's why I'm giving away my own driver along with Gearbest light. Still if you can find someone who can do the mod for you then you can qualify. The review is your obligation, of course.

antoninodattola, it is nice to see such a BIG modification. Surely giveaway light would suits you better. You may need to rearange your battery pack to 2SxP or 3SxP. Found some minor issues with the driver when powering with 3S packs, but it was with 4 leds in series, so this one 6S leds could be different.

I will count you in.

as I have less and less time I step back from participating this giveawayā€¦

good luck all others!

M4D M4X, to bad. I've seroiusly counted on you. Thanks anyway.

Thanks Ledoman!

This spotlight is born for another purpose; I'll have to mount it with a telescopic pole

and with a small base, which contains the battery, for use as a remote light in subway construction site; similar to PELI 9420

The spotlight is equipped with a multimeter, and a small air vent, has

a button with the change in 4 modes!

It is not a problem to change the battery wiring!

Thank you so much for this opportunity!
