Sold/Expired Tana eMt1 module for Surefire M1 IR Illuminator

[Tana]

Hi, drillbitz11....

I'd stay away from trying to bore that tiny lip from inside - it's too close to the lens and since it's press-fit, finding a replacement would not be easy... but even if it succeed, the bored lip would be shiny bare alu - would create some rainbow effects in the beam, probably...

To properly execute it, the best approach would be to punch the lens out, bore the lip, cover with non-reflective surface then press-fit replacement lens in it's place... but that beats the whole purpose of the drop-in module, honestly...

It's a minor gain, honestly - although that lost percentage might sound a lot to some, the idea is to keep M1 ready for it's stock setup, pull eMt1 and re-fit with original IR module...

EDIT:
Thanks everybody for nice words (Str8stroke, Tobrien, hakyru, greatscoot)...

Thanks Tarik, What you said totally makes sense.

Sorry to be a partybreaker...

(but that actually is a part of my persona, can't help it)

A more important question is if you are going to make more !?!

 

[drillbitz11]

Will these modules run on rcr123's and IMR16340's? Or can the drivers be set up to run on them? I never use primaries so I would care if I lost the ability to do so.
Thanks

Well... I have two more of these awesome reflectors and then - not sure if I'll be able to restock... placed an order for them two months ago and got refunded already; maybe in close future...

As for cell selection, they are optimized for single li-ion cell, preferably 16340 but will work with high quality RCR - if it can withstand the current on high (but that can be lowered to 1 Amp instead of 1.4 Amps to insure it does)...

Correction... ONE left...

 

[Str8stroke]

These are so nice! If you have a M1 or were ever thinking of a M1, better buy it now! lol The drop in takes less than a minute to swap out. You can always go back to IR if you choose.

Big thanks to Str8stroke for clip inspiration... I've been EDCing this for past few days... :thumbsup:

 

[Str8stroke]

Ha!! That is awesome. It makes this light a great EDC! I just realized that I didn't post that pic in this thread and I meant to do that. So here ya go:

Tarik,
I can't help myself when it comes to your creations. If you still have one left I will take it. I always thought the M1 was a really cool looking light. I will send email regarding specifics.

 

[greatscoot]

My module is on its way and I am ready. Boilng water and strap wrenches got my M1 open.

 

[WoodMotorsports]

It appears greatscoot scored the last one. Any chance you'll be doing another run of these?

 

[greatscoot]

Got mine today and as usual another spectacular work of art. Not only that, the tint is fantastic and the fit was perfect.
Tana Thanks again.

I believe that's all of it... I can't find this reflector any more... Fingers crossed I can find similar or same soon...

So very cool to get my Croatia postmarked package today! Finally (only one week actually) I can put this M1 back together.



Not the only TNT module in the house:


M1 beside it's smaller brother:


Not sure why I took this one, but here it is anyway:



Thank you Tana for making this M1 useful!

Yes, that looks great.
Tana, let us know if you find a new source for reflectors. I now own an M1, ready to be modded!
