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.
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.
zelee what are you trying to say? If you can do the mod and will do the review I can put you on the list. Hopefuly then you'll use youre bike more frequently
i’m out for this give away because i can’t do a light review like any other member here,last time i try it end up bad (the light is broken when i forcefully open it since the head is glued :_( )
I think because not so many people is capable to make a mod with lathe. Also not so many people here are MTB fans. They have been invited from MTBR.COM, though.
