Nice! 
I suspect the Tan color is possible when the original color is black

Bad day today 
Broke my RRT-01, the most expensive light I own.
Been a little rusty on modding and didn’t think to practice on cheaper lights first. Forgot the usual precautions. Pretty sure the reflector shorted the wire leads and now I’m left with a dim 2 mode light. And it’s not a standard driver so sourcing one will be tricky.

Ripped 2 pads off a LumeX1 while trying to pull the switch wires through a D1K. It was tight and they were being very difficult to pull.
I’ll be ordering another one from Jackson.

It’s not exactly something I broke myself, but I just found out that the second hand Astrolux MF01 I bought recently, killed/broke 4 brand new Molicel P26A (18650) batteries that I specificly bought for this light.
I grabbed the MF01 to light something up earlier tonight, but it refused to turn on, so I measured the voltage of P26A’s and 2 were at 1,72V and 2 were even down to 1,42V.
I can’t rule out that the MF01 was still on since I last used it, given it was standing with the LEDs pointed downwards, but my feeling is that the light has really high (parasitic) drain. And even if it was still turned on, LVP should have kicked in and prevent the batteries draining down well below 2 volt.
When I have time at some point, I will grab my bench power supply, hook it up to the light and measure the parasitic drain, but for now I’m slightly pissed off I lost basicly 4 brand new Molicel’s and I have a possible defective flashlight.

I took my bench powersupply to measure the standby current of my MF01 and measured around 36 µA, down to 5.40V (batteries are in 2S2P), at which the current drops to 6-7 µA and reduces further when the voltage gets lower; at 4.0V, (so 2.0V per battery) the current is down to 2-3µA for example.
I also checked if/when the LVP kicks in, and LVP gets activated around 2.75V.
I have a Mateminco MT18 / Astrolux MF01S. I leave batteries in it, because it’s useful for photo fill lighting. I removed the optics so it’s a mule, and it works well for ceiling-bouncing at high output levels.
However, the driver and other electronics are definitely a little janky and I don’t really trust it very much. I try to make sure I check it periodically to make sure the cells won’t discharge too far. Would definitely recommend keeping it somewhere you see it frequently, with the LEDs pointing up and the button facing forward. And use batt check once in a while to check when it’s getting low.

This wasn’t mine but I figured it was worth sharing.
My wife’s boss accidentally put a freshly charged battery backwards into his FW3X.
This was the end result:

So, first Lume 1 has not reverse protection?
2 Thanks
Correct
I knew that and I told him that.
He installed the battery in the dark and knew exactly what he did wrong(after it was too late)

This is why i check always befor insert battery
