Don’t be cheap LB. Help a fella out.
Turned a Lumintop D2 thrower with an awful reflector and ugly beam, into a nice little floodlight.
There is a sliced XHP 50.2 and a 25 degree TIR lens in this now, and the light it puts out is much more useful.
I was going to keep it as a thrower, but this setup just kind of worked out.
This is the TIR lens I used:
My strap wrench was delivered today and I finally got my old River Rock 2C apart. I didn’t even have to apply any heat, had the flashlight body clamped in my vise with 2 pieces of leather and the strap wrench took the head right off. Now to figure out what I want to try to do with it. My curiosity wants to try to install a newer single emitter to see what the aspheric lens does with some real lumens going through it. In the end, I want to try to see if I can get the lens out, I think its pressed in, so I can maybe do a 3 or 4 emitter setup.
I made some dark chocolate. 
That is, I turned an old black Sofirn C8F host into a dark chocolate-colored host. The image shows another of the same in its original black with the baked chocolate one. I have had these for a few years. 
I am not completely settled upon what I will end up using for emitters when I complete this. I am waiting for the driver to arrive, so I have time to think.
Yes, that is a hole drilled in the brown tail cap; that is another story that went in another direction.
I did similar treatment to my Convoy M21B. It turned out little more copper colored. Your tailcap might need some more time for color consistency.
I love baked lights.
Iam looking for one 18650/21700 usb flashlight with boost driver to use my xhp70s…Any idea friends? My mod idea for years…
Convoy M21D (or M21E) takes 21700, has USB-C charging, and can be had with a boost driver.
Wau…But too big head…Iam more into Eagtaci-sh flashlight sizes with this led…Probably not so easy to find
I did two pretty basic Mods today — I’ve been having this Eagtac P100C2 laying around — Go figure a S2+ pill and reflector worked perfectly — I used a 70 cri Nichia with a Crescendo driver — Nice little light — handles heat rather well — Finally found a light this driver works with
Playing around I tried to make something useful out of this D2 — I put a 4000k Nichia and used a OP S2 reflector — kind of off the wall , but at least it’s a usable light now
The original D2 reflector looked awful when I first got mine. I bet even with that smaller reflector it’s a much better beam profile.
Yep—- I tried the original reflector with the Nichia —it was better but no spill with a big light circumference — today while I was changing out the reflector on the other light — I tried it out — S2 reflector is a little deeper — not sure if the lens will take a drop like this — I would’ve been upset if I would of paid more than $15 for this light
Ended up emitter swapping 4 of those Astrolux LT1 keychain lanterns after I had done such to the first I received and loved it. Very easy to do and vastly improves the lantern, although the variant that comes with the 4000k SST-20 stock would have been my pick had I done this over again.
Lousy phone camera of the 4.
LH351D 5700k, 219b sw45k D220, SST-20 4000k, LH351D 2700k
Need to get my hands on a 3000-3500k emitter, the 5700k isn’t as pleasant as I was hoping.
…and secret information about H300 driver output voltage unrevealed… :person_facepalming: XHP50.3 configurable to 3V too. What kind of driver is it ? Linear, buck, boost? On test graph it behaves like buck or linear.
I put the tir lens in the Convoy S11 with the FC40. It fits perfectly in width. I just had to put a gasket for reflector with a 10mm hole so that the lens had something to rest on. Cool flooder with a high cri.
Cool looking optic! And it looks nicely executed too 
That’s my graph (I’m Gabriel at 1Lumen). I would say boost since I installed a 6/12V LED into it and it’s a single cell light.
Not configurable to 3v. The 3v is a separate LED that can’t be used at 6v/12v
From datasheet: “…configurable to 3 V, 6 V or 12 V by PCB layout”
And yes, you are right Scallywag, 3V is different led but should look the same as 6/12V. Datasheet have misleading info. How to configure 3V led using MCPCB to 6/12V ? 
And if its “boost” driver, so why its programed to behave like buck… whats the point!?
Is it so hard to measure voltage on led output?
Modded my SST40 S2+ driver to drive at 7A. The SST40 really didn’t like that! It went an angry blue. Changed the driver to a stock 5A driver but I have a feeling there is more tint shift then there used to be.
I thought the SST40 didn’t mind being driven at 7A?
