Can any of these lights be taken apart (led replacement)
I have personally ruined a Tank007 E09 trying (was glued)
which parts are you talking of were glued? there is no need to tear out the driver pill or driver sandwhich (with the green contact disc). in any case, on the top side there is the LED (LED star) with the 2 soldered wires, as shown in my review. if you want to swap the LED, de-solder the 2 wires off the LED star, exchange the LED star, and use the same wires to re-solder them back on the new LED star. done.
if you have "ruined" the E09 driver itself (somehow), then tant pis. Keep it as reservoir of spare parts. Buy a new E09 from DD (starts from 11.99$ before the triple discounts) and all good ;)
How to disassemble the head? It won’t budge using just my hands. Do I need to apply heat and then pliers?
you talking of E09? why do you want to disassemble the E09 head??
( please check "Disassembly / Troubleshooting." section of my review. :p )
I have a doa e09 that’s why I want to take a look if I can fix it.
I read your review and I didn’t find it. Can you quote exactly how you disassembled the head? What tools did you use?
Thx for the great and informative review!! Even the battery selection was colorful. =o)
Thanks!!
I just noticed that the Tank007 E09 head can be taken apart (stupid me, I thought it was a solid piece just like the ITP A3) Lucky me I have a spare AAA light driver in reserve just for these instances!
Looks like so many people didnt care to read my review.. *sigh*
:~
On a positive note, it was the most thorough review I've ever read, kreisler!
Maybe add a table of contents, chapters and a glossary? ;)
Seriously, a very good review for such a tiny light. I have looked it over several times.
+1, really. I like very much reading such thorough reviews.
My TL;DR meant that the "new generation" of flashlight buyers doesn't have patience to read. Which is bad.
Thanks BR and T!
it seems that BLF (fran82, Hobbyfotograaf) hit a bull's eye with this particular Tank007 product because it is still relevant in discussion and DD shoppers' cart including mine. Probably the most often sold 1xAAA light on BLF. Ah, this month more reviews (pl.) to come. but no more 1xAAA ;)
also giveaway planned :X hehe
No way, you're doing a giveaway! That's awesome. You can expect myself and raccoonboy to participate. ;)
LMAO!
maybe i should invite dinoboy too so that i have a chance to win the prize back ;)
Yeah, but the post declaring the winner might mysteriously disappear 
Or the post where he said he is planning a giveaway. :P
damn .. you know me too well!! J)
kidding aside, it will be up soon!
I did! In fact I was the second person making a reply 
But to be frank I did not remember to look at it again before taking the Tank apart
