I bought the Trustfire 3T6 model back in 2013 when Amazon made a pricing error (I paid $3.95), and I’ve been waiting for another similar “mistake” to pick up a couple more to mod. Not a bad light in stock form, but really looks like it would benefit from newer LEDs and a better driver.

I want a cool white light about as much as I want Cool Ranch Soda.

I put an FET+1 driver in mine, running a single cell. I made a dummy cell to keep it 2 cell length as I like the way it fits the hand. With XM-L2 emitters, domed, and a host of tweaks for optimum performance it’s doing 10.76A for 3946 lumens with an Efest 3000mAh cell.
I like the beam profile with domed emitters, robo’s has de-domed and better throw at a cost of some lumens, but still it’s making a LOT better output than in stock form.

Wow…Dale strikes again! That is darn impressive, and seems relatively inexpensive for the output. The tint is also MUCH better!
No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar nor under a basket, but on the lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.
My Reviews: Ma
+1 Very good job Dale:D

FYI if anyone’s interested in getting the Trustfire TR-3T6 version cheap they’re curently available on Amazon for $4.90 shipped. It’s probably a pricing mistake, but worth a shot.
