*I just recently purchased a Ultrafire C8 XML T6, its bight as hell , But i hate the 5 mode, my flash light came with no memory mode so it keeps switching to the next mode. Any tips of what mods i should do?
The only mod I did to my two c8 was to repla e the driver. I suggest you be nanj105 or the kd v2, both come with selectable modes and are very cheap. I think the nanj comes with the output wires soldered, a big plus if you have no soldering skills. it’s easy to solder the wires in the star, but difficult to solder them in the driver (at least, it is for me,it’s veeery small)
To install it you have to desolder the leads from the star, and the old driver from the pill (it’s soldered around the border)
Resolder the wires in both the driver and star (in the case of the nanj the wires come already soldered to the driver, and maybe if you ask in kaidomain they cand do it for you too) , solder the outer ring to the pill, and finally select one of the modes soldering the pads in the kd or the star in the nanj
Do you really want to have a strobe mode? I can’t imagine a good reason to use it, but if you like it, go on!
Thank you to everyone helping me with my questions! 8) I want to set it up with High>Low>Strobe with memory or High>Med>Strobe if low is not possible. I could do the soldering work my self.
One of the modes in the nanj is lo-hi-strobe, fits your needs. For the kd you have hi-fast 10hz strobe or hi-mid-2hz slow strobe, so maybe the nanj is a better choice
Edit: I think kaidomain can reprogram a custom driver to meet your requirements, ask them if you want
There’s a minimum order from KD for reprogramming IIRC.
L-H-S acceptable instead of H-L-S? Then the $3.76 nanjg from fasttech (totilde link above) fits the bill. You just need to solder star #2 to ground to select that mode group.
1. How to remove the emitter?
2. Do I unsolder first the wires and lift it up?
3. To put it back or replace with a new emitter, which adhesive/glue do you recommend to use.
4. Recommended replacement wires.
1. How to remove the bottom part?
2. Is it force fit or with glue?
I just bought a cheap Ultrafire C8 XM-L T6… and the quality is terrible! Even the front lens rattled loose, and I had to loosen the driver/led pill so it would rise the reflector and wedge the lens in place. I have feeling it is not genuine Ultrafire
It had this annoying “next mode memory” too, where it would come on different mode every time. So I made it 1-mode light by connecting the leg that is above number 9 in the CX2829 chip to the -. (thanks to steve098 from another for that solution)
