This is the link to the light a kind member bought for me.
A picture with it in Old-Lumens hands
And a picture where it resides now. Justin was also kind enough to post over a couple of Defiant 3C’s for me to mod as well of which one is in this picture.
The file work here has to be seen to believed how good it really is. I’d go as far to say it’s better than my machine work.
I have 2 Old-Lumens touched lights. They arrived within weeks of each other. As I recall, I was starting to believe I would never win one of Justin’s lights. I selectively entered his giveaways and waited for for just the right sale of his. Either they were out of my budget or someone beat me to it. Justin mentioned that he would entertain modding jobs. I reached out to him about modding a Ultrafire F-13 for me. At the time a sale on F-13’s for $8.99 was active. This light had some mod potential and the versatility of running both a single 18650 or 26650. He agreed and charged me a very modest fee. The XML2 emitter ruled at the time, so in went one with a 3.04A driver. Strangely enough, while waiting for the light parts from Richard to arrive at his workshop, I won a ‘NoFire’ [unbranded] HD2010 with mystery internals. OL didn’t remember what he had done to it. At the time he had several 2010’s that he was modding, evaluating and making videos of for a possible future BLF group buy. I forgot what the tail cap readings were on the HD2010. But I compared it to a coworkers Sunwayman T40CS one evening while on night shift. No question about it the coolish 2010 [20R battery] beat the more neutral SWM . The giveaway light had a noticably broader beam and farther throw. Direct drive high, PWM med and low, strobe, flash no memory.
HD2010
Have enjoyed them both proudly.
I would like to offer them both towards the auctions for O-L.
I’ll cover postage [USPS-CONUS].
If the auction coordinator will PM me, we can workout the details.
Both used gently 97.5% condition imho.
Nice lights flashination and two of my favourites until the quality of the F13 went down hill. I modded a dozen or so and s far as I know they are all still going.
Nice gesture on the auction. :+1:
