Olight S1 tear down

How about upgrading your CW emitter ?

will a nichia 219C work in there?

Using some of your previous ideas, I recently swapped my NW (greenish tint) for a beautiful XML2 7A3. Thanks X3! I really like the WW tint in the S1…

Now how do you get the driver out, lol…

Another tool that can get between the bezel and body to start them separating, a tubing cutter like THIS designed for round objects…

Yes, that’s what “Turkeylord” from CPF did use in his video.
I just wanted to show that you can open thiese little gems with really basic tools (blades and hammer rule)

I’ve tried, ugly beam, and artifacts everywhere…don’t think about it sorry :frowning:

thanks

You had me cringing through the whole video. Nice effort.

Cringe ? Why is that ? Is it the knife ? The hammer ? :smiley:

All of the above. It appeared to have disaster written all over it but the light came through unscathed. :slight_smile:

I watched your disassembly of the S2, amazing! Not sure what you do this for however. Can u really get these put back together? One time I took a reflector out of a Xeno E03 …. I felt like the Mod King of the world!

Yes, it’s simpler to put it back together !
Just reflow a new emitter, solder the wire back, put a little bit of thermal paste, drop the board, the optic and the flat o-ring and finally the bezel.
Then gently tap with a mallet on the bezel to make it fit

Yeah, when you were twisting the knife, I really thought you were going to slip or do a nasty gouge in the metal. Glad it worked out OK. :slight_smile:
