Has anyone managed to do any cool mods or upgrades?

i modded a few of them to Nichia 219B emitters. great tint in a AAA pocket EDC.
I would like to turn one of mine into a joule thief…
I received one of these modded lights in a giveaway that DBSAR did not long ago.
I really like this light, very solid built, nice output with the mod, and really love the blue color (the light itsself, not the tint) it has.
Sounds like an excellent idea. I am yet to own a Nichia flashlight! I think it will come in handy using it at a braai (BBQ). Being new to this, I have a couple of questions I hope you can answer.
Can you help point me in the direction of where to order the emitter? Onto which “star” did you reflow it, was it the original one in the flashlight?
i re flowed the Nichia onto the original star from the Buckle V6. the Nichia emitters can be found from many suppliers, i got mine from Mountain Electronics i believe.
