Thanks for sharing this FmC! :slight_smile:

I think what I will be doing with my Courui is to ‘shamelessly copy’ this procedure. :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks for this, keeping an eye on anything courui at the moment - if mine ever gets shipped, 4 days later they are asking me for a few more days!

nice mod thank you for sharing , any chance of Beamshots ?

11

Thanks for the comments :beer:

@ Pulsar13; The Omten switch is actually pretty good, djozz did a good job of trying to fry one recently in his switch testing.

@ JaredM; I’ll try to get some comparative beamshots up, but my camera is lacking the manual settings to do it well.

@ M4D M4X; Just for you, I took a reading without the battery tube & switch assy; Jumping a 25r through the multimeter showed a little over 4.5a. Obviously the meter eats up a little current, but it’s all I have to measure it.

I will not be far behind you on this…haha. A new frontier for me

A wise decision bro! Modding flashlights is a gratifying experience. And the good thing about being in BLF is that the people here are always willing to share what they know. :slight_smile:

14

Very, very sweet! Congrats.

15

I have noticed this willingness to share and the gratification posts by our generous members here since I joined BLF. Right on, bro. :beer:

Updated OP with beamshots. Sorry about the short range.

:beer:

17

That much throw for such a relatively small amount of total expense? It’s crazy, I would say.

Very nice pics, btw.

18

very nice work FmC :beer:
what numbers do you get @ 10 m?

19

Very nice. I particularly like the tail switch. :slight_smile:

20

340kcd

Somewhat short of 1 million, I’m afraid to say :wink:

21

Stick a UCLp AR lens in there and watch how high that throw number jumps. :wink:

My dedomed XM-L2 is making 369.25Kcd.

Nice work on that tail switch, not sure all three points were necessary at under 5A, but you gave it the whole 9 yds at any rate. Makes me want to add a switch to my XM-L2 version. It’s currently sitting awaiting use with the battery tube screwed out to break connection. Would be nice to not have to do that!

nice work

Congratulations! Very good work :wink: thanks for sharing :slight_smile:
