    Disassembling chinese XML light

    Hi Ninox, sorry for a late reply, I haven't visited CPF for a while. Nope, never did get the head open. I did get the light down to 20-25m on several dives and it survived as far as waterproofness goes. But it started to flicker maybe on the second or third dive and I had to constantly fiddle...

    Disassembling chinese XML light

    Hello, I bought a chinese XML dive light like this and wanted to check the condition of the O-rings. http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NjAwWDYwMA==/z/hq0AAMXQfvlSmEUi/$_12.JPG Image tags deleted from Hot Linked image - Norm The rear O-rings were crap, no surprise there. But for the life of me I...

    Old 3D with Hotlips - ideas?

    Thanks snowblind. Short search gave me these: 8xAMC7135 (3.04A) (selectable) Mode Driver and Cree XM-L 14mm Round MCPCB T5 3C (5000K) tint. The pedestal of the Hotlips has a small raised portion, I guess I need to sand it down to fit a 14mm mcpcb. I'm also considering of using Tenergy C or D...

    Old 3D with Hotlips - ideas?

    Hi, I've been away from the bright&shiny scene for a while and am totally lost what's happening right now. Let me give a bit of background first. The wife and I bought a car and ofcourse there is need for a glove box flashlight or two (or three). I have some ideas, but I'm not sure which way...

    Fenix L1P head in a L2P body?

    Thanks for the replies. I was asking because I have got a friend of mine interested in buying a Fenix, and Fenix-store has the L2P+L1P-body offer going on. He's more interested in 1AA configuration and the 2AA body would have been extra (for me to by off him for use with my L1P-head).

    A simple and cheap LuxIII bikehelmet lamp idea?

    Sorry to drag up an old thread but I totally forgot to follow up on this last fall. Here's the end result. As you can see, the scrap box was heavily used. Only items bought were the luxeon star, a 6 degree collimating lens and the batteryholder. The body of the lamp is cut from an old...

    Fenix L1P head in a L2P body?

    Would it work, or would the 2 AA's fry the led sooner than later? I may have seen someone mentioning it working but with reduced lifetime in some thread, but can't seem to find it anymore.

    A simple and cheap LuxIII bikehelmet lamp idea?

    Thanks, that's a pretty good idea. I just happen to have such a tube laying around somewhere, I thin'k I'll try that. I'll pick up the parts today and start working on it.

    A simple and cheap LuxIII bikehelmet lamp idea?

    OK, so I’ve been using a PT Aurora headlamp while bicycling to work in the morning (60min one way). It’s ok, but I need occasionally more throw when there’s no streelights around. I like headlamps because it lights exactly the area I’m looking at unlike mounted bike lights and it’s easy to make...
