I have an early model 120P (105xx), the tint on it is horrible. Finally I decided to order some U2SVOH emitter from photonfanatic and do a emitter swap, here are the result, compare with the same SF L1.

I don't think I need to say which is which since it's pretty damn evident eh? You guys with early novatacs should really do this. :twothumbs

Agreed I have also done the same mod to my 120P some time ago, nice tint and overall an pretty big increase in output :).

I tried it on my last 120P, but I wasn't successful.

I guess I'll live with the tint.
Whats the serial number?? This mod was a hit or miss, with mixed results..Some guys saw improvement and some did not. There was some rumors of Novatac using not using U-bins in the early lights.

Wow,

Besides the emmiter change, any reflector work done?

I have an older Novatac 120P # 10006
(Much lighter in body color than current Novatacs)

Would be an awesome upgrade, but I wouldn't dare :sick2:

Nope, LED is the only thing I swapped. It's really easy to do, you just need some basic soldering skills, everything else unscrews apart. I've never soldered anything until less than a year ago, then I bought a soldering iron and started playing with it.

It's easy because the heatsink is anodized and no copper spacer needed to install underneath the emitter to isolate the positive base of the SSC.
