Lights You Want Me To Mod

[Skylumen]

Wuben A21. I think they have some Olight in them

Have one of this in a triple. Its just OK as a stock light.

 

[Skylumen]

I bought one and it failed on me so I lost faith...

Hey Vinh, ever consider modding any RonyVon products? They look really well built, and somehow still, the prices look very reasonable!

Thoughts? I could see W1/W2 doing really well in the Aurora and Angel Eyes lights using those optics!

Also, the Fénix E16/E18 is claiming to have a special optic reflector of 3mm as opposed to the 'usual 7mm,' could this make an interesting beam pattern with a particular LED? Special TI wacky HDT version coming too if you like that sort of thing for collectibility.

I ordered 3

Excellent, I'll keep an eye out.

RRT01 came. Played with it for 1 minute and I already know this will be an R! Excellent light. The best of infinite variable brightness with a very linear ring, the lowest low possible, 18350 Protected capable and crazy nice heft!!

Will be a while until its release got several projects ahead of this one.

I'll be watching

I concur. I'd definitely purchase this mod from you as well.

I don't yet have the new RRT-01. However, the old RRT-01 was surprisingly easy to turn into a triple.

The RRT-01 / TCR-01 used a 14mm star with a reflector. The star was far too small for a triple. However, there was a ledge partway up the reflector cavity where a wider portion of the reflector sat. This ledge happened to be at exactly the correct height for a standard 20mm copper triple star with standar Carclo triple-TIR optic on top.

The driver wires weren't long enough for a triple, but it wasn't too hard to replace the stock wires with longer ones. On my driver I had to first desolder each leg of the sandwich, then separate the 2 boards. Then I could access the driver wire solder points to attach different wires. This mod still left a large open cavity below the star, but so long as a copper star with generous thermal compound at the edges was used, heat transfer wasn't a problem. Though I suppose the "right" way to do it would be to install a copper slug into this void.

I have no idea if the new RRT-01 is as easy to turn into a triple as the old one.

I sure hope it is. I need a variable ring triple in my life. 4500 219b's please.

+1 on the triple 219 b!:twothumbs

 

[star_c_star]

Lumintop GT4, basically a BLF GT but with 4x XHP70.2.

It supposedly will be available after the Chinese New Year.

This was mentioned on the "other" forum.

 

[InvisibleFrodo]

If anyone could figure out what LED MagLite is putting into their Spektrum series Solitaire light, I would kill to have one installed in a Streamlight Microstream or a Preon MKIII. That LED is the closest I've seen to imitating an incandescent.

 

[InvisibleFrodo]

Surefire Titan Plus. I'd love to see LED options in these...

 

[Fireclaw18]

Emisar D18 looks like a good one to mod.

Replace the SST-20 with XPL HI or LH351D.

My guess is around 16,000 lumens in a light similar in size to the ROT66.

SST-20 throws further then XP-L HI so u will lose some throw

 

[jo_th]

put in oslon white 1 and 2 instead

D18vn xpl hi will not reach 16000 lumen.

I just received a couple Austrolux FT03 in cool white. Pretty impressive, I'd love to see what Vinh can do to one.

Aspherical BLF GT with a CREE CXB3590.

I think this is the same light as the MT35 mini version right? I ordered 3 of those to test.
