What did you mod today?

eas, your SST-40 Q8 should be making around 10,000 lumens on top cells. :wink: Gotta love em! :smiley:

That Black Flat can be a challenge but it’s sure fun when it works out!

A friend had me put one in his Manker Godmes T01, that little light really rocks now at about 56Kcd! He loves it! :slight_smile:

pinkpanda? Is that a “flash suppressor” you made for the zoomie? lol Looks really cool man!

Lol, “flash suppressor” :laughing: I’m gonna use that :beer:

Today I putted one 1mm2 white flat in a SMO reflector Convoy L6 with short tube and single 26650.


I swapped the stock XP-L2 in an Sofirn SP32A V2.0 for a 4000K 219C.


Great success. Greenish low-CRI beam with a purple corona from the AR-coated glass before:

Pretty warm high-CRI beam after:

Still some artifacts from the smooth reflector and AR glass but much improved. And it matches my TH20 (also has 219C 4000K) so I can use them together.

All the details here

I would like to make the same mod. could you advice, is this SMD resistor size the one I should use? How much current did you get after this mod?

L6 with White flat result:
541 kcd
1471m

No outdoor beamshots yet. I barely had time to measure before work.

Well done, Zozz. Perfect focus!

CRX CuTi Zoomie - KW CSLNM1.TG - FET 17 - 18350 - Fw Clicky Sw - 609lm, 209lm, 59000cd.

I’m surprised how easy it was. I suffered a lot with focus in the GT mini with this led.

I also installed an Oslon White Flat (1mm^2) on my Convoy L2.
Didn't use a centering ring, though it seems that I bull's eyed it after just 2 tries :)

I have paired it with an A17DD-L driver running cresendo.
I also removed both spring bypasses and in the process I accidentally melted the original switch :P
It's pulling around 7.2A

The amount of throw such combination produces is spectacular.

Crazy work with the flats guys! Diggin it Big Time! :smiley:

It seems a lot.
Mine turns blue at 6.6A fet driven turbo and output is lower. I found for me the top lumens was around 5-5.5A Under or above that it drops down.

Except there’s nothing to gain by allowing 7+ amperes through the 1mm² variant…
You can’t just throw it in a FET driven thrower and expect the best performances

I’m using andúril fw in L6 and I can set ramp max at a safe but good level and not using turbo.
Is the 2mm2 variant able to run safe with fet drivers? If yes I need to buy that version next time.

Ufff….

I like this very much CRX! 60 KCD for small zoomie!

For White flat fans. Seems that we all getting all kind of different results in our mods. But I am pretty sure that sweet spot for last 2 I build is around 5.5-5.8A.

Someone says 6 and someone says 7 which is freaking lol :smiley: And Djozz says 4.5 :slight_smile:

I say 4A for small lights.

I agree :beer:

Machined/Modified the Copper (press fit pill) Quad 4xXP-L HI V3 5000k of a KRONOS X5 to do double duty…

With a 18650 tube running a VTC5A it makes 3890lms

KW CSLNM1.TG Triple…

The head I made out of 2 different scrap pieces of Aluminum… 15amps/2240lm
