Please don’t laugh. This is my first flashlight mod. I had a bag with parts of 2 Romisen flashlights that quit working years ago. I tested the switch and determined it wasn’t working. I searched but could not find a switch to replace it. The only way I could figure out to get it working was to take the old switch out and drill out the switch to make a collar to hold a McClicky in. It doesn’t quite seal over the gasket but I’ll just use it inside. I then used what I’ve learned from this forum so far to remove the old LED and board, and I soldered in a 519 Nichia on a 16mm board. I love the tint. I’ve been over on CPF for a decade or so, just never tried to mod a light before.
Minimum order of 100? I wonder how Shiningbeam was able to manage all those Romisen mods. Couldn’t get a warm/neutral X-PE Q3 from DealExreme back in the day.
Ah glad to see one of these updated with a modern LED!
One would imagine the 519a paired with the large, OP reflector produces a very nice beam.
Despite having been around CPF and this forum for many years, I’ve never owned a RC-G2- by the time I decided I wanted one, they were unavailable from anywhere.
I guess in some respects the convoy T8 is largely a modern equivalent, it would be cool to see the two compared.
I moved on from the Romisen over a decade ago and gave my Mom the last 2 working ones I had, she still has one on her bedstand and uses it. Anyway, this is a great forum you guys have here.
And this is mine RC-G2, bought it in 2008. Now it’s got SFT40 3000K and Convoy 5A driver. Stock forward clickie, AR lens. One of my oldest flashlights.
