In for one!
I am a big fan of do it yourself mods and hand tools as I very much like to tinker with my lights in the same way. This looks like a nicely done mod and I am curious how you attached the bottom of the tube after you cut it down. Did you somehow add threads or simply find a way to press fit the sections together?
I would like to attempt this mod however have no way of cutting my own threads.
It does look that way!I transplanted a clip onto this light,
looks like it belong there
Thanks, greenLED,
4 hours of work for a gain of 4mm, at 1mm per hour, slower than snail
Professional and excellent job, as always ma! I love your lights, this is my favorite.
How much?
I'd love to have one, but in a DD 10440 for the runtime with the hungry XPG. That would beat my LD01 by a hundred or so lumens.
hi,
i also build such a short flashlight with the tank007. but i used a R5 with a dome lens from a broken sst-90. this gives a realy nice spill - just that what i want. the light is 47,5mm long, cause the aspherical setup save much space in lenght. if someone would like to see some pictures from the head/setup, i can take some.

ma sha1 I have officially caught the bug I have a Tank E07 and have 3 more on the way to play with. I found a high bin version of the Golden Dragon Plus to replace the original Golden Dragon. The specs say this emitter is 123lm at 350ma. If shipping from cutter werent so high I would consider going with the XP-G R5. I think the Osram emitter will have more throw anyway. I don't think I'll beat your sub 50mm length but it will be close.
