Just a little update. A lot of minor stuff have happened this week!
Recieved my blue Olight I3s (pictured in previous post). I like it alot! :) Might consider swapping out the emitter for a typical High CRI NW Nichia 219, or maybe a WW 119.
Unlike certain other manufacturers you can get easy assess to the emitter. Pill can be screwed out with a tweezer. Tiny 8mm MCPCB.
I also started to write a some on a larger "tint guide".
Mods done this week (more details in spreadsheet)
- Fandyfire K2, got current increase (4,2A) and new emitter. Ill get around to update my thread on it.
- Made a thread on my Small Sun lights. My ZY-T29 got another emitter swap, and more juice (3,89A).
- Olight I6 got XM-L2 on copper
- Sipik SK98, got copper MCPCB and the emitter from Olight I6. (I cant be bothered to but an XM-L2 in this light (yet?), I don't use it much anyway)
- One of my ultrafire M5s got its stock emitter de-domed. Tint turned out quite crappy. Green-ish tint. :Sp Not recommended mod IMO. The emitter in my light already had hint of slight green-yelloish CW tint before de-doming. So I should have known better. Needed to try it anyway.. :p Ill have to put something else in it.
-My STL-V6, now with copper MCPCB pushing up towards 5,3A to de-domed XP-G2 and custom copper "pill" is up and running. Needs some focus tweeking, more than I have done. I have a feeling I will end up with XM-l2 in it eventually. Its not that often that the smaller emitters impress me that much.
-My Roche F8 (Ying Feng), finally became alive. I received a new replecemant body from CNQ, one with brass ring inside (my first body/kit did not have the needed brass ring inside that is needed to make connection with the head). Using a fully programable DrJones driver.. I really like the heat transfer and how its built in certain ways. In several ways it beats most lights. I do find the body a bit slippery though. I know the new version have a tactical ring or whatever its called. But I would prefer a clean body with some knurling. Oh, my F8 can use the long green protected NCR18650B! I have always heard you have to use short batteries. Not in my light.. :)
