How can you possibly have the trits showing in that photo? UV light applied to them?

yes UV

no UV:

Thanks - that is an excellent comparison! I knew sometimes UV was used in such photos to show trits, but (and especially before owning any trits) didn’t really know how great the effect was, or how to tell in pictures.

Don’t forget, for FET you can buy a GT Micro driver from Lumintop aliexpress that drops right in. I couldn’t get Anduril working when I tried to re-flash it though but the stock GT Micro firmware works fine.

Do you have a link for the GT Micro driver? I looked on aliexpress but couldn’t find them. It would be nice to get my 2 UT01 lights working properly without having to unscrew the tailcap all of the time.

How’s the beam profile with the TIR vs the stock reflector? Where’d you source the TIR?

I found the tir in my spare parts bin, so I’m not exactly sure where I sourced it (it could’ve been kaidomain or fasttech). I had to use an o-ring to fill out the space as the tir was slightly loose without it. I also removed the led ring in the install and there is no problem unscrewing and screwing the bezel on and off, not twisting the MCPCB and wires. The beam is narrower. The outer circle of the beam is less green but there a yolk in the center. Overall, it looks better to me but I’m a sucker for tirs.

Any beam shots with the TIR?

Here you go, but the picture isn’t the best since it’s from my phone and I don’t take the best pictures.

I put 219b 4500k in Wuben E05 today. What can i say. I do not recommend! Beam is terrible, not equal and has lots of artifacts. In the picture it doesn’t look as bad as in reality.

[Unheard]

Thank you for the warning!

Noticed the same in the A6. Dedoming the LED did nothing about it. Samsung LH351D works well in the Wuben.

Edit: Cured the A6. 219B sw45k D200, honeycomb optics, led4power 3A driver and illuminated RC.

[ChibiM]

Tried to repair my Lumintop GT90.... and failed.. replaced the LED but now the Driver is smoke... (or something) The light turns on... and ramps up and down... (although still very bright in the lowest output) and it doesn't turn off anymore.

Nice look!
Is your lanyard ring loose or firmly in place? Mine spins… and body is tightened down fully. I’m not sure if I have a different cut from an earlier batch, and if the thickness was increased later.

Thnx! It does not spin if I use a thin oring on the lanyard ring. And I bended the lanyard piece in a small angle, that might have helped also.

Relatively minor but it’s my favorite project and it’s finally finished. Added a bezel up clip and a made a flat button out of high temp silicone rubber. Now it’s exactly the way I want.

[jon_slider]

@e1000

very nice
what clip and bezel did you use?

[e1000]

Clip is from a FW3A, you have to make the inner diameter a tiny bit bigger to fit.

Bezel is from a guy off of CPF - here’s the thread - http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?236304-FS-1-00-quot-O-D-Stainless-and-Titanium-Bezels

The one I bought was the second one pictured, short titanium crenelated. I really like the first one too. Emailed him and he still had stock left, at least when I reached out.

[jon_slider]

thank you for the link and stock check
I have bought a couple of his bezels
they are very nice
