I really like the tiny mods you do, like adding switches to 10180-size twisty lights. I guess my favorite mod from you is the Direct-drive MT-G2 in a BLF-348. But, more than your mods, I liked your Contest build(s) in the 2016 Scratch Build contest. You have some awesome talent! Thanks for the GAW!
I’m not expecting to win this GAW. But, if I had to choose a prize light, it would be the Nitecore EA4.
Edit: By the way, if I do happen to win, please save your Eneloops! I already have some Eneloop Pro Black that have been sitting around, needing to be used for something! If you want to send me some cells, you can give me a couple more 10180’s.
I love tiny steel light so my heart goes for the CNQG Bullet !
I love nearly all your mods, from tiny non sense powerhouses such as the XHP T10, MTG2 348, MTG2 Airayland, to homebrewed brass creation with a special mention to your cubetube mule from the Nitecore Tube !
Congrats on your 4 years of addiction and a growing passion for bright little things !
I don’t have time to mod (two wee’ns) plus I’m useless. My fave of yours is that teensy one you made out of copper pipe and magnets. I just thought it was brilliant. Plus great patina!!!
I suppose if I have to choose, it’s gotta be the bullet.
I would love to get my hands on any of your modded lights! Your mods simply amazes me. Especially the Aurora SH-034 Quad Nichia 219C. It looks fantastic! I just wish I had the knowledge and skills to do something similar.
If I win I would like the Nitecore EA4 Triple Nichia 219C D260 83CRI.
Try something new. I really liked to do a step-up driver.
Here on the forum everything revolves around line drivers. Or their variations with a FET transistor. But there is a decent driver for 6-9-12 volts based on Indigo 5. This is the prototype of the meteor driver.
The firmware and layout is in this thread on Fonarevka http://forum.fonarevka.ru/showthread.php?t=20409
Count me in as a fanboy of your work. I always make it a point of checking in on your posts. I’m most impressed with the small(aka tiny) lights that you work on. There is just so little space to work on. So far I haven’t found a use for those magnifying lens whilst soldering but am starting to think that I should start using them. Do you use those while soldering? & if so do you find they really help much?
As per those two lights. While I love how the bullet came out those Nichia’s make me sway towards the warm triple.
AZ
Hey mate i like all your mods they are unique. I especially like the smaller lights seeing as i dont have the hands to build them. Many years of power lifting has given me unsteady hands lol You should watch me try and solder 7135s its like a comedy show lol.
I like the DQG Hobi MT-G2 its different i am usually all about functionality but i will let it slip with this light
Oh man this is mean!
How can one choose with so many crazy beautiful mods?
Your brass magnetic work is so cooyour big LEDs in small lights too.
Impossible to choose but thosr darn rules
So i choose the Olight cell tube conversion to MTG2 Olight TC15 Ti Battery Tube Build
