im planning to mod my new Sunwayman V11r. The Idea is to put in a Nichia NVSLE21AT LED (sm203) with VR16S1 MCPCB from virence.com. A fellow in TLF germany told me this should work but i have to play safe that the driver of the V11r only run with 2A.
So here are the questions:
with how much Ampere does the original diver run
does this setup work?
do the MCPCB fit into the V11r? I Somewhere read that only 12 mm or less fits.
if it doesnt work: anybody has another idea to get a real warm colour in the V11r, preferably with high cri?
I have modded several V11R’s and V10R’s. The latest mod I did I went with a LH351D 4000k high Cri in a V10R. I sanded down a 16mm Noctigon board I had that uses a xpg size footprint (3535). Several years ago I had already swapped out the led to a Nichia 219b 4500k high Cri and that was what was in it. I gained about 100 lumens just from switching to the LH351D. Produces, in my opinion a very nice beam.

Might be a option if your interested.

If you have not cracked open the light yet there is several methods used, you can use the search to find them.
This might also help with the packing grease. Re-packing a V11R
Don’t remember if I saw it in the Ebay V11R thread or somewhere else but, someone mentioned it was possible but you had better be bullseye precise at boring the tube otherwise you risk making hole in your tube. Someone accomplished it but ended up wearing a hole in the side of the tube. Someone also mentioned something about a Solarforce or Surefire 18650 tube working. I can’t confirm that though. If that is true they might make a 18350 tube as well. Again, not positive on that.
