I had one UF-1504 leftover that had a Nichia219C and LD2 driver, that never had good throw. I redid the mod today, and now it still has its high current forward clicky (‘6A Ebay-switch’ I prefer a reverse clicky but this 1504 first gen. switch design does not fit a standard switch-board), and a BLF-A6 driver and dedomed XP-G2 S3 3D. For what it is worth for a thrower, the tint is pretty nice, much better than the much used (and now unavailable) S4 2B, and the throw is also really good, I measure 486 kcd at a current of 4.1A on a Keeppower 26650 IMR 4200 mAh, 30 seconds after switch-on.
I think that the mods are well done, with a high amp switch, neat spring bypasses, ledboard soldered to pill, area around the led-die blackened, very clean beam in spot mode. The body does not look mint anymore though, decent enough, but the ano is not perfect on some edges anymore.
In the end I like the impressive throw but still find the light too heavy to take on trips.
