Hi,
This is a followup to another thread (Single AAA Gifts), but specific to the Hugsby XP-2 (and maybe XP-1) AAA lights.
I have a couple of the XP-2 (2 x AAA) and have been trying to disassemble the head.
As mentioned in that other thread, I tried to push the driver etc. out the back but ended up cracking the (apparently AR) lens.
So, now, I’ve removed the driver, by de-soldering (and cutting) it from the brass ring:
Here’s the driver:
and:
Is this driver moddable at all?
After removing the driver, I was kind of surprised that this appears to have a solid shelf for the star (seen from the back below):
So now, I’m trying to disassemble the rest of the head. I’m kind of sure that the head must unscrew into (at least) 2 pieces, because (a) it doesn’t open from the front and (b) there’s the shelf in the middle, but I haven’t been able to take it apart any further.
Here’re a couple of more pics:
Has anyone taken this head apart? If so, how?
