TNT E1E-HA Triple-219

Looks at the world with 600 great color rendering OTF lumens...

very!! nice.

You should sell this one to me too

Lovely mod!

I'm on a special (secret) mission... to convert every single E1E/E2E/E2D that I lay my hands on into these power rockets...

So far used combinations:

The best of all, it's recommended part of my therapy... :thumbsup:

Someone might find this one interesting:







As seen on pics, it has Nichia 219 star installed but pushed with Solarforce 0.8-4.2V 3-mode driver, a great and versatile driver for this package, IMO... On primary CR123 has minimum of 140 OTF and runs for 2 hours on it on high... on IMR 16340 (or 17670) it outputs around 450 OTF lumens which is very close to the 3A linear driver's output of 600 OTF... and the best of all... If AA body could be found (MDC?) it could run on both 14500 and AA Alkaline battery... :thumbsup:

Hello TANA.
I wonder, how did you bore the E head without dings or scratches?
Actually I already made Triple XP-G E1e but it has a lot of scratches while the head bores and body bores for 18mm.

Thank you.

If you have a VERY precise lathe (which I sure don't, for now), then one dedicated round bar threaded with Surefire threads (or some already make circular E series clone body) can hold your head while you bore it...

I use 2 or 3 layers of Kapton tape that I carefully chuck in lathe... once you have it centered, you go for it, small moves so it doesn't jump out of centar... that said, my first few heads did have few chuck marks, single thin line on every second hex, thanks to my "pro" machinist who did few for me... now I'm doing them myself and last two had no marks, thanks to Kapton thing...

As for bodies, I will never try boring as it seriously lowers durability but also authenticity of the body (I like being able to, with few things, to be able to return the host to stock level, these are Surefires afterall, in this case replacing head with empty E-series bezel and stock switch)...

Hope it helps... I'll try to make a video or at least few pics next time I have bezel that I work on...

Oh, you could make delrin or teflon adapter to hold the body in while in lathe while you widen it to 18,6mm... but still think it's too much stress for these little beauties...

Tana, thanks for your kind introduction.
That will be good information for me.
And I bored the body to 18.5mm.

I hope you will upload your jobs in shortly time.

tana ,it me about the a19 extender,can we have a deal?
