Oh God.

I was just trying to see if I could fix the faulty switch.

OUCH

Upgrade opportunity?

Another non-conventional failed dedome! And here I was, expecting to see blood! :confounded:

So sorry for the loss. That hurts.

If the emitter still works, you could use it in a remote phosphor setup. The MT-G2 should emit royal blue without the phosphor later. Be careful using it bare. It probably emits a significant amount of UV without that phosphor layer.

EDIT : for FSM’s sake put a NSFW tag on this post !

Nice to meet a fellow pastafarian

Man I had to take flashlights away, they started crying!

Hey! That’s my line.

Arr man, hindsight gives such clarity. My Klarus G30s switch was faulty. I had an idea that it wasn’t aligned correctly to the pad. I took the flashlight apart, realised the switch is sitting well and is most probably electronically dead, and then went to put it back together again. What I forgot to do was to put the plastic reflector seat thing that sits around the LED back on; the LED was also moving around as I’d unsettled the thermal paste. As I screwed it on I felt, and heard, a very light crunch sound. I looked inside the business end and saw these yellow bits. I unscrewed the reflector and there it was, looking like this. I honestly just sat there and stared at it, in awe at what I had done.

I’ve been meaning to learn to mod lights, so I guess I have my opportunity.

Of all the LEDs I could have screwed up, it had to be an MT-G2.

sigh

I have a pair of old LED car headlights with a total of 4 MT-G2s on them. They are sitting in the garage collecting dust. I wonder if they may be useful to you. I have no idea how to remove them though.

The only ethical thing Left to do is, send it to me so I can recycle the aluminum. :wink:

Very Nice gesture Enelooper

I edited my post to clarify these are car headlights. As I indicated, they are just sitting there, unused. If anyone wants the emitters, or has any ideas how to re-purpose them, let me know. I don’t know if they’re worth the trouble though.

Hey, I’ll take them off your hands, seriously! I think it would be cool to let OP have one. I’d be willing to receive the two headlights, remove one MT-G2, and ship it to OP, if it meant I got to keep the rest! :innocent:

Edit: If you send them to me and it turns out they are a low bin or ugly blue, I’ll even send the OP a free upgrade instead. I have a couple Q0 bin 5000K MT-G2s on 25mm Noctigon lying around. :wink: I’m interested in checking out those headlight bulbs for the fun of it!

Day’s like this!

It sometimes makes you wonder why you bother, good intentions but you cannot forsee something like this happening. :person_facepalming:

Calmy walk away.

All spoken for. Thank you.
