**I couldn’t sleep thanks to Red bull :P, So I was looking around to see what other light in my collection that can I do resistor mod.
Then I read this Thread regarding how to resistor mod this light.
I was thinking about modding the resistor on this light and put MT-G2 LED on noctigon…
Well… it look simple enough, so I took it apart, and when I got to the pill… it won’t budge, I try harder… now the wires to the LED is cut and my fingers are hurt grr… |(
I was going to use hair dryer, but don’t want to wake up the whole house… so I gave up
EDITSORRY it’s not for sale anymore, thanks for all the pm. :bigsmile:
I think I’m going to try resistor mod this light and put MT-G2 LED in it
Ah come on Gj, take advantage of my misfortune and snag this light
I’ve never heard of it before but it looks excellent—a great thermal path to the body and a good form factor that shouldn’t bee too unbalanced or bulky.
I totally screwed up a FandyFire yesterday afternoon trying to remove an emitter that would not budge.Now I have a stab wound on one hand a nice burn on the other and a broken light
Every time I have not been able to get a pill out, it turned out to be left hand threads. I'm pretty good at remembering to try that now. Not sure if that is the case here though.
Reverse thread? Never had anything like that of all of mine. What light was it?
But wonder why it’s taking so long to sell this? $20 shipped for the light and two free good 18650s. Luckily I’m on “the-rest-of-the-world” so the temptation is removed.
The pill in this light is left handed (Reverse) thread.

I've come across several. Can't remember them off hand though. I think one was a Defiant. Also have run across reverse threaded retaining rings in several lights.
Edit Thanks to ImA4Wheelr’s link to O-L thread I’m managed to open it… @~#$!! it was reverse thread
the driver look different than the one racer posted, but still use resistors that’s mean it still can be mod
i ended up using a drill with mine…
i probably tightened it too hard, so no matter what direction i tried to unscrew it at it was stuck.
mine had a faulty driver, that’s why i wanted to disassemble it.
i’m thinking about ordering a new driver and at last try to de-dome a xp-g2 or xm-l.
i have a working fandyfire version of this flashlight as well, but it has next-mode memory, so i’m not using it a lot. and i’m not sure if i can resistor mod the driver? it’s not as obvious as the 1x li-ion drivers we usually do that to.
The reverse thread is an effort to ensure the pill stays properly seated when removing the battery tube, as there will inevitably be some that take the head off to replace batteries. Reverse or left hand threads help ensure the pill doesn’t loosen in the process.
