I'm terribly sorry about those that asked me about whether I'm selling the stubby 18350 body for the D25LC2. I have not been able to setup a PP account to sell them. I have made a couple more and it seems like I've been piling them up as a collection.
Lights used:
Surefire 6P with original P60L.
Shiningbeam P-Rocket NW @ 2.8a (donated from my neighbor for this sole purpose).
Eagletac D25LC2 with a 219 LED.
This mod was the worst mod I've ever done. There was so little room for the solder iron to go in and there was very little room to grip the MPCB board. The wires were very short and require lots of patience. I did not want to gut the entire head and re-assemble it just for de-soldering/soldering on the board. The original XM-L NW was actually thermally compounded on instead of epoxied on. It's held together with the reflector. It took me 15min to actually de-solder the emitter delicately and solder the 219 onto it.
Enough said, photos will explain more than telling. Here's the 3 lights that are being tested tonight:
Here's the custom body I made for the light standing next to my beloved SF 6P I received from climberkid:
Here's a shot of the business end:
Please forgive the bad camera quality. I'm a complete noob at night shots and plus, I have only an old digital camera for my present 3 years ago.
Control shot:
Surefire 6P with original drop-in on an 18650. Please forgive the blurry shot:
Shiningbeam P-Rocket mode L,M,H:
Eagletac D25LC2 w/ 219 LED (higher) mode L,M,H:
Shiningbeam P-Rocket L,M,H:
Eagletac D25LC2 w/ 219 LED (higher) mode L,M,H:
And that concludes the photos. Terribly sorry about bad lighting as I have no control over them. The only way you could tell that I stepped up to the next mode is the backlight in the sky and surroundings get darker as the hotspot got brighter.
