Incandescent to LED Falcata 6V. Mod.
This is an easy one, remove bulb and reflector, purchase drop in Cree module http://www.kaidomain.com/WEBUI/ProductDetail.aspx?TranID=1300 file base of the unit until it fits into the body of the Falcata, screw bezel back on, no gaps, enjoy.
May work with other modules, worst thing is the module I received is a nice cat pee green

Do you have pics of your modded Falcata?

Norm · Apr 18, 2007

See how the module fits snugly into the body.

File the base of the module.

Nice fit no gaps.

Norm,
This Falcata, can it use protected 17670 cell ?

Norm · Apr 18, 2007

Nano replied to your PM. I don't know and don't have one to try.

the AW does NOT fit i've tried 17500 x2 and its very tight, i was able to run surefire bulbs

thx to the suggestion of this thread by using some some magnet and paper clip to make up for the extra gap.
Now this opens a new window of possibilities for the falcata
Edit: Hey norm how is the beam of the module how bright is it compared to like lets say another similar cree light

Thanx everyone.
You should have this Cree Q2 drop in in this Falcata and that would be remarkable.I'm waiting for mine - order shipped yesterday

Check out the video.It has 6 modes.160 lumens in Ha-III body! Wow!

The quality of this mod is only going to be as good as the drop in unit, mine is as bright as my EastwayrdYJ U2 clone, just not as nice a tint.

This Falcata if you use that Cree Q2 6 modes drop in, would it be better than Gladius + no hole in your pocket?

:thumbsup: Indeed, and fairly old. Unfortunatelly I didn´t recognize it when I had my Falcata 6V and decided to sell.
