I have a couple Olight S1 Mini HCRIs.
Like many here, I like the Olight S1 Mini, except the LED tint.
I finally got up the nerve to destroy, I mean upgrade one of these lights. I have a some Nichia 4000k and 4500k 9080 LEDs to upgrade them, so this should be close to perfect when I’m done.
I basically followed the “procedure” shown by X3 here: Olight S1 Mini teardown
During the destruction, I mean disassembly, the blue press in lens retention ring was lost. The lens took a lot of force to pop out, and when it did the ring flew.
I spent hours searching. I don’t know where it could have went…
So, does any anyone here happen to have an extra retention ring that fits the S1 mini? Other ideas to replace this ring?
I know I’ve read of a few others that have upgraded their S mini with the lens from the HCRI S1 mini. Do you still have the retention ring that you would be willing to send me for a few dollars?
I’m sure I’m not the only one that has had issues with their mod attempt.
