Soldering iron tip recommendation?

That’s an 80W soldering iron—much too big for doing small detailed work.

But you could file the tip down to a 1mm wide flat in order to get better access. The tips are soft and easy to cut and shape with a file.

A small 10 to 20W iron with a pointy tip would probably work well for flashlight mods.

An MCPCB on an integrated shelf sucks a lot of heat, I got the 80W because the solder barely melts with a 40W iron.

Thanks, I’ll try filing it down if there aren’t any commercially available.
