Gladius mods ?

[Z-Hunter]

Hi there !
I just discovered the forum, did some homework, but guys, you speak like geeks :duh2: ! I have a hard time understanding more than half of the posts.

I just ordered a Gladius from one of CFP member and would like to know (with easy words ) who can mod it or is there any drop-in mods ? I need lumens, lots of them.
I also run 2 SF with P61, anything better than that ?

thank you for having me here :thumbsup:

It's easy enough to replace the emitter on the factory star with a SSC P4. Don't attempt to remove the star because it's really glued on tight, and be sure to catch the BB that falls out when you unscrew the head.

I got one that is glued tight. What is worst, the ball bearing inside got dislodged from the hemi-ditch that supposed to secured it. It did some pretty major damage inside of my Gladius when I opened it. Almost all electrodes got torned off from the emitter and the body. I have got another Gladius that can be opened by hand.

If your Gladius is a write-off I'd like to buy it for parts. Send me a PM if you want to sell!!!!

Koala is kind enough to take on the job to put it back together. He has also exchange the Luxeon with a SCC while he is at it.

Ditch the P61 (actually, sell on the BST forum) & replace with the Malkoff M60:

You can sometimes find these on BST if Gene is out of stock.

The Gladius would need a Seoul swap. Remove the Luxeon and solder in a Seoul P4 U-bin LED and you should get double the output.

There are many LED drop-ins that would produce more light and have longer runtime then the P61. Look at this thread for a list.

I'd also recommend reading the Welcome Mat. It should clear up some confusion.

:welcome:, search for Gladius and you find lots of different mods. I had mine done about a year ago from here in CPF and it is excellent. Always like this Gladius, great flashlight.

Thanks for the welcome and for pointing me in the good direction.
I did a search but it seems that I should start with the "CPF for dummies" thread first.

More questions later !

Cheers
