Congrats! And I thought being here in the boondocks was bad for mail delivery, .
The CT9T seems to be a well thought out light. The way they handled the led star contact area could have been done differently though? The platform is not smooth all the way across. leaving a very shallow circular shelf that that was machined (after anodizing?) and is filled with a thicker than necessary layer of heatsink compound. Haven’t poked my nose into that many lights, so could be the norm.
Since the head has some mass, I wonder if anyone has thought of a XHP50 mod. Maybe it’s possible to strip the driver and attach a BLF17DD with a zener mod? Then use two 18350 cells or an extension for the Warsun MX900 ?
I guess nobody has modded this or is not willing to share results! I was just trying to get other ideas/results, I guess I will send it where I always do!
Look through this thread, Ryansoh3 bridged two resistors I believe, tried to get the driver out of mine and couldn’t, not much of a modder myself. Post #52 is where the mod is listed with pictures.
- by default running with Samsung 25R at its max the tail reading is 2.2amps
- with a bypassed springs, twicked driver and Sony VTC5 battery it is able to draw only 3.3amps at the tail
- build quality is fairly okay
- side switch is kinda buggy, plus the driver too
my came with a very “durty” glass, was unable to cleat it so i cut a new one
The flashlight biggest problem is its reflector- its deep and bigger than C8 one, but the beam profile is awful, i tried several mods but the final result is disapointing
It could be made a fairly okay light( with a good ammount of efforts), but either Convoy and X6 destroys it by price, functionality, size, weight, beam profile
