I am getting it but one Q that might have the obvious answer… Do I need to click 150 times to set the it to Top level?
Might be easier to Learn to code than set all the levels with hundreds of clicks. :cry:
If you mean when setting the ceiling then no, you click down from 150. So 1 click gives you 150, 2 gives you 149, 31 gives you 120 etc.
I would not want to be counting to 150, let alone clicking! 
Oooh, thanks that one helps a lot. Didn’t realize it goes back from top for ceiling set. Also then assuming setting bottom would count UP as in 1 to 50 for example?
Smooth moon to turbo is what I would like in the ramping. Well for the L6 I might want higher than 1 to start. I am from the RampingIOS and I am used to that layout, for my own lights anyway. 1H moon and the 2C Turbo are kinda natural to me. Move through ramp easier, faster.
Have the PDF of the UI saved, also in phone. Not sure I want to read the entire written file, would just confuse me more with too much info at once. Just look up the bits as needed.
Boruit D10 modded with 45° TIR and swapped to 219b sw45k
New build - 219b sw45k in a “DDH-D2G” host (DongDongHai) from China. Nothing fancy but I really like the host. Beefy as hell and looks a bit like kiriba-ru’s C8TT head. It was supposed to be an SFT40 in there but the one I ordered was DOA 
and I only ordered one unit . 219b was all I had left so I guess I’m rocking a CRI thrower now.
I am Not going to say I like your DongDongHai… I just will Not.
I had to check out the DongDongHai. 
They have some nice lights that I do not think I can get here in USA. I need to check the Flashlight Host and Uncommon Budget Flashlights thread.
Hope you can revive the SfT40. Reverse polarity? try to re-melt it? I have even found one emitter mounted 90* out.
I saw it in Weerapat Kiatdumrong channel first. Due to the head size it’s a bit front-heavy, but other than that it is a wonderful host. I like browsing that thread too
I tried all I could think of. Based on photos I’ve seen on the internet it may be seller flowed the LED the wrong orientation. when I received it I tested with DMM diode test and it didn’t light up. I reflowed to the other orientation and still no light. I don’t know what the problem is. The seller already apologized and issued refund.
This morning I realized the emitter was missing from my parts box. I was looking for it to test some more. I think I must have dropped it when I was packing up my soldering area the other day :person_facepalming: . I can’t seem to find it now lol.
Always hated this light. Mainly because I opted for the blowout deal and had to get CW emitter. Never could get the darn thing apart for a swap. Well, I finally went for broke and busted out the torch, not the flashlight kind. It has a couple battle scars and some discoloration on the bezel but I WON this time. I should have taken a pic of the driver because I think it might be the first driver to see daylight in one of these.
I was able to stack an R100 resistor on top for 4.2A on turbo now. It does have a DTP copper pad and I reused it. Now has Nichia 219BT D220 4000K 90+cri. Good glovebox light with the USB charging and window breaking small point on side of the tail.
Low is pretty moon like
Ring Ring… Sorry, NOT interested 
OK, that’s better
And for Jon…
OOH stole this pic from MascarantumB
Very bottom on the right is the R010 resistor I stacked the R100 on top of.
nice! 
ceiling looks pretty in pink… I like it!
how did you erase the rings?
Heat deformed the original spacer, spot looked oval. Second ring was the clear type and too tall into the reflector hole. Made rings. I didn’t think a shorter one would work, tighten down enough… ut third try was the shorter, in white.
Came out nice.
Has this guy from the video made a post here?
Blink 3 times for battery check.
Made another typical triple S2+. I saw this lime green host on Kaidomain and couldn’t resist.
I used dedomed 4000K 519As (= 3000K) and a 10511 Carclo lens. The tint is incredible - we sure are spoiled with these LEDs! It always feels strange to carefully reflow the LEDs and then once they’re cooled, pull the (damn) domes off.
With the 10511s that I recently got, the position on the MCPCB affects how the hotspot is centered. Initially it was noticeable off center, but when I rotated it clockwise it was much better. The next rotation wasn’t quite as good.
The switch shelf on the host was a little higher than normal which made the silicone switch feel a little squishy. So I sliced off the top of another Omten switch and super glued it to the switch. Problem solved. And of course I had to go with a green lighted switch to match the host which draws 0.05mA (8 years).
Here are all my colored KD S2+ flashlights. The brown on the left is a baked black host.
Nice and vibrant collection, NeutralFan! I keep looking and hoping that they’ll bring back the blue host.
Well look no longer for the blue host since it came back: BLUE S2 PLUS 18650 FLASHLIGHT HOST 118MM (L) X 24MM (D)
Very nice. I want another S2 but am still deciding on host colour as I don’t want to have too many of the same flashlight. I may even go for those other manufacturers like Pioneman.
I swear I looked just like a week ago and they were still out of stock. Thanks! Just ordered three plus a purple.
SC21 Pro w 519a 5700K and Anduril 2 reflash

Im a big fan of these little lights… ordered another one from Aliex… fwiw, they have a sale on Nov 1… either way, price is already very low… recommended.
Emitter and optic swap on a Sofirn SC18. No pics, but a few things to note for others:
- Lots of glue on the bezel. There are two flats on the head where you could carefully put it in a vise. I used parallel pliers on the flats and a strap wrench on the bezel. Oh, and I think heating it is a must. I use a heat gun.
- This light basically uses S2+ optics you can get from the Convoy store. The stock optic is slightly shorter by about 1-2mm, but the diameter is perfect and it has the same lip for the O-ring. You could sand down the base of the Convoy optic but it does throw off the focus a little (may not matter if you’re going for a floody beam). I chose to use a 10 degree, clear optic and didn’t sand the base. There’s a slight gap where the bezel doesn’t screw down all the way but it looks fine and doesn’t affect anything.
- The stock led is a larger footprint than 3535. If you want to use a different 17mm MCPCB you’ll need to notch it out so it doesn’t sit on the USB port cover’s “nubbin.”
All-in with a battery it came out to I think about $15 on sale, which is a fantastic deal for what you get, e.g. great UI, USB C charging. Emitter swaps are easy enough and the wide range of optics is a plus. I think it’s a great beginner’s modding light for e-switch lights. One downside is there’s no short tube option since it’s a unibody (only the tail cap is removable).

Converted a $2 power tool holster into a flashlight quick release. The mounting ‘nub’ was too wide so I clipped it down, and then I shortened the velcro strap and sealed the end off with a lighter. Really simple ‘mod’ but I am really liking it so far. Only thing is the clip itself is smooth plastic so it may still slip off if you’re moving quick.
