Surefire MODs

[Nitroz]

Nice work! Great looking mod to a Z62. I think DrafterDan was looking at something like this last year? Maybe the year before? Man time flies! I bet a 16mm x 8mm silicone boot would be just about right to seal it up since the stock Z62 boot might be a tad bit long in your mod. And it might tail stand? Don't lose that Z62 boot. Most folks don't know that its also used on the SW02 and the Z48/49 tailcaps. And there is NOTHING available aftermarket if you ever need one.

Thanks M4! This will be going back to the owner along with the leftover parts.

Here is an L2 I just finished up. The user wanted a single cell so I created a delrin spacer with a copper rod in the center. Now the specs.

- Triple 219c LEDs
- Drilled optic with v10 glow
- Modified tail cap to McClicky switch
- Qlite with guppydrv Universal firmware
- Green glow tail cap
- Full copper heat sink on copper noctigon for best heat transfer
- Bored to take 17670 batteries

I believe that was a Lego L2 I was working on, but ended up selling it. One of the forum guys sold me a spare L-series tail so I didn't McClicky it.
I have an E1E coming in, have some interesting plans for it.

Cool! The McClicky is one nice switch.

I scored and E2e off a craigslist that I will be working on soon.

I do love the E1e and look forward to what you create. I use to own a Winelight E1e and E2e and kick myself for selling them off, I even sold a really nice E1e with a delrin tailcap shroud before my modding days. Arrggghhh!

I will be selling off my 7 x 10 HF lathe and picking up a 10 x 22 but I am trying to decide if I want Grizzly g0602 or add $500 and go for the variable speed Grizzly G0752.

I really wish I knew someone close to me that could help me score a nice old lathe like a south bend or something but I don't know what to look for when checking them out.

I hear ya buddy. I'm in the same boat. Got a great lead on a Jet BD-920N with a herd of "goodies". Only problem is he's across the country. It would probably be still a good deal even with the trucking fee. BUT. I don't know the guy and once in hand it could turn out to be quite the disappointment.

Have you checked out the group discussion on Yahoo? Some good info there and of course who doesn't troll CNCZONE? https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/9x20Lathe/info

Thanks for the link!

If I am spending upwards of $800 to $1800 on a lathe I am going to have to see it or it is going to be a new one.

Going forward all mods will use military grade 3M 6900 glow tape where v10 grade glow powder cannot be used. I tested it last night and I awoke several times during the night and was able to see the afterglow easily all through the night.

I bought the G0752 earlier this year and couldn't be happier with the variable speed option. It's very convenient. My only complaint would be how often you have to switch out gears for threading operations. Although overall I'm pleased with its performance. I know that this isnt SF related but just yesterday I turned a copper spacer and modified a Tain Corona inserting a quad XPL HI V2 1A. Here's just a few pictures.

Nice lathe! And even nicer light.

Thanks buddy! [emoji3]

On tonight's agenda is turning a copper pill for the Surefire Titan Plus [emoji6]

How much would it cost to get a XPH-50 put in a U2 ?
running an 18650 (i have one of the early LuxV u2) it is one of my favourite lights, although it has been semi-retired in favour of newer brighter lights.

cost for an L2 XPH mod would be nice too, i quite like mine, love the two stage switching. mine is running a 14670 though, dunno if it will handle a higher current.

 

[bartko09]

XHP50 is a 6v LED so you'd need to have a FET or 105c modified w a Zener diode so that you could use 2x 18350

 

[bartko09]

I just put a XHP70 w/ a 7000k tint w/ Zener modified FET 17DD & 20mm contact PCB in a L2. I'll post pics in a sec. Looked like a spotlight at the airport running 2x 26650's [emoji23]

 

[kellyglanzer]

Wow. I can't wait to see 2x 26650 in an L2.

 

[bartko09]

Ask and ye shall receive. I only have two or three but put 10 or so up in the FB group

 

[bartko09]

These are bad pics. Got more in the FB Fanatics group. But could build another if anyone is interested

Is this beam coming from a surefire l2 head with XPH70? I'd love to see a picture of the light

 

[T_zero]
