My first build

Convoy M1 host
XM-L2 U4 1C
Qlite 3.8 amp 3 modes

tail spring braid

Added two chips to a Qlite 3.04 driver

XM-L2 U4 1C emitter with Arctic Silver 5

My homemade insulator

Potted both sides

Great job. It starts with one. I expect an avalanche of mods soon to come.

It’s all your fault….lol

Very professional. You've done this before obviously or your incredibly talented/both. What did you use for potting? Some stuff is corrosive to metals, that is why I have been holding off on doing it to my mods.

Bushwhacked has put me under his wing and helped me with this build.
Very first light ever.
I used sensor safe RTV with some Silicon Carbide on the inside and JB weld on the spring side

Great pictures too. Your macro shots are really sharp. That’s always difficult for me, let alone stacking chips on your first build.

Very NICE!!! :wink:

Nice. The soldering looks real sweet.

Stacking chips on your first build! Dang man! Looks awesome! Welcome to the addiction hobby :bigsmile:

Bravo! More! More!

Good job. Especially on them stacked chips.

Nice, clean work!

Bring the mods on!!! :beer:

Did you use self tapping screws or M2 metric machine screws for the led?

Convoy has a bad habit of missing screws in their host. That’s why I bought a bag of M2.5 laptop screws on ebay so I won’t have to worry about it. Fasttech carries them too.
Replacement Screws for Atomizers (100-Pack) M2.5*4mm

The M1 came tapped and with machine screws.

XM-L2 U4 1C???
