Hi! Do you know where to find floody TIR optics to put in my 519A modded MT21C? (\~1 inch diameter) [@flashlight](https://lemmy.world/c/flashlight) [#Flashlight](https://lou.lt/tags/Flashlight) in c/flashlight@lemmy.world
Today I swapped the awful and greenish factory Cree XP-L HD V6 6500K of a Nitecore MT21C for a Nichia 519A 4500K (MCPCB swap). I may try to install a floodier TIR optic. Click the fedi logo for more! in c/flashlight@lemmy.world

@fujiwood Messy at the start! https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlight/comments/171lkvk/first_messy_try_at_modding_wip/

Then, since I purchased the LED already soldered on a MCPCB, I desoldered the stock one, ground a bit the new one to fit, soldered the wires back on the new MCPCB and voilà. Changed the thermal paste too.

@flashlight The Nichia heats up faster than the Cree. (IR video on fedi link)

3000k TS10 to the rescue! Nobody planned any lighting for the sculpture ( by [@Syl](https://lou.lt/@Syl)) at the entrance of the festival. It is fixed for a few hours. [@flashlight](https://lemmy.worl in c/flashlight@lemmy.world

@Tuss I think they're shit too, the effective ones were probably banned in France too. Maybe for the better, being highly toxic things burning in close proximity to people. Non-"volatile chemical" solutions may be a better option.

@Tuss Damn, I was specifically looking for something better than the spirals. Too bad. Thanks anyway !

@Tuss Thanks ! To what model do you refer ? I'm interested in testing out one of those.

@flashlight I may have overheated my brass TS10. The battery wrap shrank. (lltmstdn.s3.fr-par.scw.cloud)

@flashlight I may have overheated my brass TS10. The battery wrap shrank.

I used it continuously in candle mode @ high with the original silicone diffuser for a video shoot, and found the battery looking like that, opening the light right after stepdown (and almost burning my fingers).
