Experienced CPFers: please help create a 'how to' guide for modding the Nuwai Q3 into the most wicked pocket rocket ever. I'm sure this interests many people. I, for one, am itching to dive in but I've never cracked open a light before and I would find it really helpful to have some kind of step by step instructions, like what parts to use and how to make them all fit together, plus other ideas.

Here's what has come to mind so far: 3.7v Li-ion batteries; replacing the lens with a UCL, multiple stage switch, high bin luxeon emitter, better reflector, etc... I'm really new to this stuff and have little idea where to begin and even less on how to follow through. I'm wondering if someone (or many people) would be interested in posting step by step instructions to creating the Ultimate Q3 hotrod.

Any takers? Help out a few less experienced CPFers like myself who are currently 'would-be modders'. The Q3 seems like an excellent light to do it with.

Thanks!

I would also be very iterested in this! I am really ready to get into some mods, but need to start out slowly. Good post. That makes two of us.
 
I have over 50 Q3's already opened up and ready for modding for:
$34 each without their oem SX1* stars.
$42 each with the best, brightest and whitest SX1J, SX1K, SX1L stars still in them as they are now.
