S2+ with a qlite (mtne) + 7 7135s (double) 16mm XHP50 U4 1C 2 keeppower 750s. You canāt keep it on high very long but it sure will give you a laugh. L/MedHigh/TurboHigh. A LOT of light. I am still laughing. Carry some batteries for backup! File, file, and file the driver retaining ring. Everyone should have at least one.
I learned to type on one of those, over 40 years ago. The letters were worn off the keys, still have it as a matter of fact. Now I have to go look to see if it was a Remington or an Underwoodā¦.
Iām having a hard time not to write something like: if you show me yours ā¦ā¦ā¦.
I found it somewhere eating dust and disassembled and cleaned every last detail of it.
Then I lend it to my kid-brother so he could write his thesis. Got it back a short while ago.
Apparently he could not be bothered to put a cloth over it :person_facepalming: :rage:
I tried a 219C on a filed Noctigon in my Olight S2ā¦that was a fail !
Artifacts everywhere in the beam, the TIR does not focus the light properly 
So I swapped the stock CW emitter for a nice warm T4-7A and called it a dayā¦
Much improved Nitecore Tube XM-L2 4C
Did you chopped an MCPCB ? Do you have some internal pics ? CUrrent ?
How, and wow, great job as usual 
No MCPCB at all, itās just a bare LED with a tiny copper block soldered onto the thermal pad & rigid wires directly to the emitter.
Stuffed a bit of that silicone cube stuff around it too but thereās really not much current to cause much heat. I should have took pics and measured current, but i didnāt :laughing:
This one was a little more difficult, i accidently dedomed the XR-C while working on it so iāve covered it with UV setting glass glue for protection.
Iām obviously running out of lights to mod, down to nitecore tubes nowā¦ :laughing:
You obviously have too much time in your hands :partying_face:
Keep it going, I love seeing original mods !
True, and thanks :laughing:
Itās only the beginning : S10R II triple XP-G2 3C combo from KD
X3ā¦looking good already. I like!!
Well that was stupid.
I just fried a dedomed xpg2 (I hope it was just the LEDā¦.). I spent the last few hours modding a UF-1508 aspheric with a dd xpg2 and a 5.5A MTNMAX driver. The 1508 has a bit of an odd pill and a threaded parabolic piece that screws down onto the mcpcb. After several failed attempts at getting the LED leads soldered flat enough I switched over to flat copper sheet. It worked eventually, just a pain to work with such tiny pieces of metal. So I screw down the securing piece to secure the mcpcb and I think to myself ādonāt forget to pull this back off before testingāā¦ā¦ā¦ I hook up the driver pop in two cells and a flash of light followed by utter disappointment as I instantly realized my mistake. :person_facepalming:
Also swapped my second SRminiās emitters :
7A on the left and 4C on the right
unknown, I thought I was the only one that did stuff like that! 
I just ruined three brand new XP-G2 S4 2B mounted on a triple noctigon. Not going into details.
But we want details
I put a stacked resistor on an L2 and forgot about reflector clearance when soldering the leads back in, shorted it and fried the driver. I did have Kapton tape on the base of the reflector, but it tore. Iāll be happier with the Bistro driver anywayā¦ 
Still, was hoping to find out what the stock driver was capable of.
Well I for one am extremely proud of myself. I stacked some chips!
I have never been able to stack chips. Iām a pretty good solderer, but stacking chips has always been disastrous. I have stacked one chip before, but trying to stack a second chip always turned into the ruin of me. Every once in a while I give it a go until I ruin a perfectly good Qlite, and give up.
I have a triple deep red rebel mod coming up, and need between 4A-4.5A, so I got out another driver and managed to stack four 380 7135 chips. Maybe my confidence has improved?
Itās an ugly looking mess, but everything has continuity, and nothing got bridged. Itās that little leg in the center that always gave me grief, so I just cut it off.
I havenāt tested it yet. It should be okay, but Iām afraid if it ends up not working, Iāll break into tears. Tomorrow.
This is it. Please donāt laugh.
Your ahead of me Of with the soldering. Iām sure it will all work ok.
The center leg is just a continuation of the ground tab on back, itās not necessary to solder it.
