What did you mod today?

Yeah well that’s what I used when I opened mine too, for those of you who didn’t see it here is a video :

Very nicely done. :+1:

I finally got around to finishing an S2+ today.

The driver is my first H17f. I like the program options, but do not like the lack of reverse… Not sure it will stay in it. I used one of the new screw mount copper pills from Hoop. I love it! For the LED I used my standard XM-L2 4C Noctigon mounted, love the tint on this one.

Results… not as hot as I expected… 2.93 amps at the tailcap. But, overall nice light. Have not tested the pid function yet. Oh, flame treated ss pocket clip as well.

I did not exactly did this today.
It also isnt a flashlight, its a laser but i thing some of you guys might like it.

i made a rebuild of a 660nm laser to a 1W 638nm and filmed it.

Enjoy!

Exactly the same tools, lol :slight_smile: Haven’t seen the video until now but i guess we had the same idea and it works :slight_smile:

Just received this ZHISHUNJIA Mini Flashlight 3 mode.

It’s the brightest and easy to use $5 light I’ve seen.

I fabricated a “dummy battery” charging lead to utilize the charging port on the light. The charging lead is also used to check the existing battery voltage without opening the light.

Cool. If you plan to use the light a lot you could splice some wires and a TP4056 charger board (or similar) and have a single wire with USB on one end, a charger in the middle, and that little adapter plug on the other end.
putting together convenient charging options is quite fun.

I think my favorite was whoever did the Listerine strips charger. Was is 4wheeler? Can’t remember now

What do you say about host quality, shelf or pill, is it mod friendly?

I think this $5 light could become my favorite pocket light.

Looks good, feels good, and switch is conveniently located. The shape of light makes it easy to find switch and you can rotate clip to put it where you want.
The clip is secure; attaches to denim seams and pocket shirts equally well.

Took the lens off for cleaning but haven’t been inside pill head. It looks easy to dissemble though.

I don’t like user interface. Spec’s say forward clicky. It is a nice firm click to turn on high – click again to go to low – click again to go to rapid flash – and click again to turn off. (no half press)

Charge port is live with battery voltage all the time (off or on). I plan to use the port and save my threads.

Bought this $5 light to get the host; but, like it so much I’m having second thoughts.

Hope this helps!

Thanks! I have found it on Ali for $3, so I’ll get one see how I like it.

Great!
Keep us posted

If you want to mod the S2 (I don’t know if you have one), here is a video as well :

Due to the arrival of the new little half cells (26350) I did some shuffling around between a couple of Convoy lights.

I had the L6 with XHP-70 and a 2 cell tube for 2 26650’s and a tactical ring, the stock light with an output bump to some 4600 lumens. I also already had an L2 with XP-L and Bistro driver, single 26650 cell tube. So today I got busy and did some swapping and modifications such that the L6 now has a single cell length tube with 2 of the 26350 cells, the tail cap is off my L2 and has been bored to allow an 26700 cell to fit, perfect for working with 2 26350’s.

So now the L6 with it’s larger head has the appearance of the L2 in short form. Love it!

Then I modified an LD-2 driver for the L-2 light, put an E4 1D XHP-35 in it with the 2 cell tube from the L6 so it holds 4 of the 26350 cells. These little cells are 2000mAh in capacity, so now the 12V emitter is taking some 2.8A and I’ll still have close to an hour run time and great throw, but considerably more lumens over the XP-L in this light. I have all 6 of the short cells on the charger now so I can get some readings.

Pretty neat that my big Convoy is now the small one and my small Convoy is now the big one. lol Confusing though, I know. lol

Edit: The charged 26350’s did a tail current of 3.13A to the XHP-35 E4 1D HD emitter for 2986 lumens and 170.25Kcd at over 800M throw, I’ll take it! :slight_smile:

Convoy S2+ 4C tint, lighted tailcap with 2 red LEDs, and FET driver

I had no idea that had a press fit (and adhesive?) bezel. Do the other model Olights also have a press fit? Or do some have threaded bezels? If screw in, which ones?

Thanks.

Not really a light… but I added magnets and a meter to one of my Lii 100’s. Love these things!

Nice mod with the charger. :+1:

Those silly little volt meters fit inside very well. Got to get one of the 3 wire ones, then it will display voltage below 3 volts.

Nice. I did basically the same thing with my light saber, because taking the battery out is kind of a huge pain and risks damaging the internals. Also, it has no true “off” switch otherwise; I have to put in a non-conductive “kill key” to cut power.
