Builds that are just not straight forward:
Building a high CRI flashlight with copper mounted sinkpad. Price about 4$ (with beam/CRI shots)
Basically, mounting a Nichia 119 on some copper pieces, the harder way…
Saik SA-305 rebuild. The Fat Flooder!
5x XP-Gs, oversized pill, 32600 battery (or 3xAA)
Rebuilding a vintage German WWII Daimon with modern LED
1 XM-L, 4XAA, fairly stock looking
Making a cheap 3xAA sized P60 host
Super cheap and easy with the right tools, but does not use a stock P60 reflector.
Making a cheap bling AA sized P60 host
Super cheap and easy with the right tools, but does not use a stock P60 reflector.

DIY:
Making Nichia 119 MCPCB - The easy way
How I re-flow emitters on a cooking plate

Various:
New 612 Mod and Review
Modified pill for 20mm Copper mcpcb. Swapped out emitter, driver and lens.
Post about how I modded my ZY-T13 with a trim-pot
Mostly explained with a few pictures.
TR-3T6 mod (Wallbuys lights, not the most common driver)
This thread is a bit messy. Started out as a resistor mod thread where I ended up to replace the driver and emitters to get the the desired output, modes and tint. Which basically was the plan from the beginning.

Here’s my one Mod I did. I did it to fill a need I had. Full flood single 18650 high CRI headlight. It worked so good I’ve been out of the headlight market for awhile now. I still use it as my daily light at work and at home.
UF-H3 modded with a Nichia 219 Best 18650 Headlight ever
Updated 06/14/15
Modders, please feel free to post your mod links here, for easy access to all members.
This is my first BLF build.
My second BLF build is a Dorcy lantern mod outfitted with a DC-DC converter with custom firmware that allows for the selection of 6 brightness levels.
