Hello!
I'm new to the forum, hey everyone. There's noT much info on modding the flashing I want so I'm having a hard time researching what I need. I'm looking for a small flash light with a built in clip for everyday carry. I'm using the flashlight for selfdefense. I'm in a defense class and I'm learning for attacks in the dark, it's best to have a very bright flashlight to quickly shine in the attackers face to slightly blind/disorient/confuse the attackers to gain valuable seconds in an attack. Now I don't want to spend 200 dollars on a nice flashlight, I have lots of Diy capabilities so I started my research. I found a Ultrafire C1 flashlight (18650 battery) which seems to be a fine size to carry. Plus I'm reading about numerous drop in modules for this model. My question is this, the flash light comes with a Cree Xm-l T6 LED bulb. The add for the flashlight says it's 1000 lumens. Im assuming that is a huge over estimate? I also so many drop in mods with big lumens number on dx.com but they are very cheap. I'm looking for over 400 lumens. Heat isn't an issue since I'll only flash the light for a few micro seconds. What mod would you guys recommend to get my goal output? Or would you recommend a different host completely? Thanks alot
