GB BLF LuckySun D80-SE Need long tubes? -3/3/16

I wanted Bistro UI in the BLF D80, so I soldered a 17mm driver from Mountain Electronics onto the top of the retaining ring. One of my lights has the long tube and I use unprotected cells so there was a tiny bit of room to spare.

I posted my ugly method in the “What did you mod today?” thread, then DEL pointed out that a 17mm driver will indeed stay put under the D80 retaining ring.

I tried DEL’s suggestion and it worked. Both of my D80s now run Bistro UI and have no visible PWM! :+1:


That’s my ugly mod on the left, and the “correct” way on the right. :wink:
