7000 Post Giveaway - ImA4Wheelr (w/RMM Sponsoring) - Winner is Boaz

Well done on 7000 :+1:

Hard for me to choose so I’ll have to think about that.
In the meantime, I’ll take the dreaded first post :wink:

- edit -

Lumintop Tool Ti - Lighted Switch

Thank you CRX. :)

I added an EDIT comment to the OP. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

EDIT: This isn't an entry, but I wanted to participate. I think this is the first mod I posted on BLF. I had to fix the links to the pics.

This one is easy… I had the most fun and some frustration with this one… have not enjoyed a mod this much since…

Missed the part about making a change… I will have to now get the lighted tail cap working! Will remove post if I run out of time.

count me in!

Here’s my link to my thread on Modding the Aleto N8

This was an ambitious mod. I took a small 18650 zoomie (107mm) long and changed it to a tiny sideswitch zoomie around 90mm long.

I wish I could still find stock unmodded N8s. Fantastic mod host, but the unmodded lights no longer seem to be available.

Heres one for sb. Its a link to Old Lumens threads many which were for modding stock lights. A great inspiration to many of us here.

My favourite light, it's my EDC since this mod :)

Congratulations on your milestone!
Here’s an old post from me, but it is still my favourite zoomy. And it took almost a full year to transform it into the final form :smiley:

One of my mods is the 18350 Skilhunt H03

I did some other mods




70000 posts! Keep up the Good work!

Unfortunately, destroyed my flashlight afterparty baking IT, so i could use another one :slight_smile:

No mods, but did eventually replace this lens

Nice giveaway :beer:

I don't usually enter these, as I already have too many lights.... but don't we all :)

So in the spirit of modding, if I happen to win, I will mod the prize light ^:)

Here's one I prepared earlier....

Congrats on 7000!

I love threads like this, which is in the manner of my recent 500 post giveaway. I love seeing mods that other people love.

So, without further ado, I present my recent Convoy S2+ mod. I got it for a song. At $6, on sale and after points, I just couldn’t pass up a Convoy for that price. But I didn’t like the body color, didn’t like the tint, and wasn’t a fan of the driver. So I embarked on my first stripping experience. And then wet sanded it and polished it. And shaved the dome in hopes of warming up the tint… I usually gas dedome, but felt like switching it up. And then flashed some custom firmware. And topped it all off with an illuminated tailcap, white to match the polished aluminum body. I still need to take post-tailcap pics. The end result is an entirely different light from the original.

Edit: that’s an AWESOME prize. Thanks for putting this on, ImA4Wheelr, and for all of your contributions here. And thanks to RMM for the sponsorship!

Also, here’s a pic with the tailcap:

Great news folks. Please check the top of the OP.

Wow that is some serious sponsoring and price
Thanks for adding even more excitement!

One of my latest mods.

The standard S2+ triple Nichia mod, with Hoop’s heat sink, and Richard’s dd driver. Changed the host to a grey S2+ and baked the black one.
