These are the loot I got from Philightsophy.  rclxms.gif 
SP-9 with a few extension pieces. Also 6P with strike bezel there for comparison purpose.
2 pieces of AW18500 batteries when I want to use rechargables for the SP-9, IMR batteries plus bulb for my e2e.  biggrin.gif [attachmentid=1226868]

All the extension pieces put to good use for my different hosts. 
[attachmentid=1226871] 

All 6P hosts looking with great interest at the MC-E drop-in which arrives today too. nod.gif

If I am not mistaken, the Olight M20 also allows the user to open the head and expose the LED, I think they call it 'candle mode'. There are a few lights that allows this exposure too, especially lights with modular components.
If this was a design problem, a related situation is a car bonnet should only be opened by a certified car mechanic since the owner of the car might accidentally damage something in the engine compartment.
I wanted to clarify a few things about ET because over in CPF, there seems to be much anti-ET fire, and most of them are from people that have not even own an ET  doh.gif

I like if the light have exposed LED, so I could modify/repair it if needed. And ET has a few things i like, especially the RBG KIt I ordered from Philightsophy have all I loved. (Neutra White, filters, support CR123&18650, all reflectors (SMO OP included), diffuser etc etc. and the LOOK is good), so I stick to my order lor. And I could contact Philightsophy if anything goes wrong with the light. cool2.gif

So Philightsophy, that is why I stick to my order (though that means my wallet have a bigger hole ohmy.gif ), so have they arrive yet??

I think its because your Nano charger supports different capacity. Like chargers that can charge both AA and AAA for example.

Just some pointers tongue.gif  if your DMM reads currents at 80mA, then it's charging at 0.9C (Calculation: 0.9C*90mAH = 81mA).

When you say discharging up to 500mA, that means it being used in the Wee? 500mA should be around 5.6C (5.6C*90mAH = 504mA)

Btw, I might have missed this info but what type of battery is it and how many volts? (Nimh, Li-ION)

its a li-ion.

though they say li ion is 3.7v nominal, mine is more like 3.7 almost dead sweat.gif laugh.gif

usually once it reaches 3.7v, the output curves starts plumetting down lol.

Thanks man.
The stock should arrive next Monday, because there's some holiday going on in Hong Kong now, so there are delays.

Oh, yea it generally says 3.7. But actual reading 3.7 means the capacity is almost depleted. The nominal charged voltage should be around 4.15v. It can still hold a charge above 4.20 - 4.30 but that's when the battery will start degrading faster.

Nominal Voltage == Voltage under load/Operating Voltage ~5-10% (+/-). 4.20V is normally refer to the "charge-to" Voltage.

Copied from cpf (Silverfox?), a list of "resting" voltage and approximation of capacity left in cell (Li-Ion):
4.2 volts 100%
4.1 about 90%
4.0 about 80%
3.9 about 60%
3.8 about 40%
3.7 about 20%
3.6 empty for practical purposes
<3.5 = over-discharged

smile.gif

EDIT: It's best to not charge your cell above 4.20V for longer cell life.

Haha, but I just like to mod/fix things up, but flashlight, it is just merely changing the LED, or driver circuit, add extension dummy battery tube. Sometimes fixing the switch etc. Most of the switch I got that I feel not right, I mod it.

Like the 47, I felt so hard to switch on, you need to press really deep to activate it.
And the LF SP6, it is also too deep, so I modded it abit with hot glue gun, and it is perfect.

Jetbeam RRT-2 also suffer the same issue, it has a big space between the rubber boot and the switch. But open the RRT-2 tail cap required a special tool. I manage to open with the anti-slip mat that we use in the car. Haha

Remember the incident I told you about my fenix P3D, really a big lesson to learn, luckily got it fixed and repainted nicely. Only to be a little yellowish now, in fact it is a self made warm tint Q5. rclxms.gif (by accident)

Dealextreme supply many parts in cheap price, and driver circuit too. And for those 6P host (surefire C2 size), many P60 drop in is hazzle free mod or upgrade for flashlight, that is why I bought the LF SP6, so you can have any flashlight you like.

You can just order a UV light drop in, and drop it into the SP 6, then you get the SP 6 transformed to CSI UV light. And if there is newer LED, warm tint, P7, MCE etc, just get a drop in, no need to de-solder and re-solder LED.

Not to mention there are bunch of options parts from Surefire and 3rd parties parts too!

BTW, doing some outdoor beam shot of the SP6, will share with you guys once have time to tidy it up.

Cheers and have a good weekend, and happy mid-autumn.
I loved moon-cake with duck's yolk!!

like many forums for hobbyist and enthusiast
they often got their own projects like special limited editons pieces with special numbering

u dont often see those kind of project here other then shirts, caps, and mayb car stickers laugh.gif

what do you guys think of a LYN Bright Side Light brows.gif

what i have is an idea nothing more
coz i dont have the skill n resources to put it together
