Anyone swapped Crees in a Tiablo A8?

Stereodude · Feb 26, 2008

Has anyone here swapped out the LED in a Tiablo A8 to a higher or different bin Cree (or other LED)? :poke:

I ask because I have a slightly used Tiablo A8 Q2 on the way and I like to tweak things.

Yes, a few have.

Here's StefanFS's review thread, he has his mod in there(thread with comparison beamshots).

Hmm... I wonder if a Seoul U bin would be better than a Cree. :thinking:

Ok, well I got my slightly used Tiablo A8 yesterday, and tonight I swapped in a Q5 WG that I got from DX. I got the standard sized star and I filed it down a little until it fit nicely. All in all it wasn't too hard to do. I think the hardest part was getting out the black plastic ring that Tiablo used to isolate / hold down the LED.
