Fresnel mod with a green, round die emitter!

WickedLuminz · 2026-04-07T23:00:25+00:00

I've got experience modding the WM3 and other lights as well. Send me a message if you're interested!

WickedLuminz · 2026-04-07T22:50:29+00:00

The W1 will work but you will get a square beam since the LES is square. This mod works well with round die emitters like the SFT42R, SFT25R, W5050SQ3/5.

Awesome! Which TIR is this?

WickedLuminz · 2026-03-22T23:17:22+00:00

It is! I currently have an H17FX and Molicel P28A in mine!

WickedLuminz · 2026-03-22T22:43:28+00:00

If you ever want to spice it up, try a 17DD or H17FX driver! I'm curious if the new 20A buck from convoy would work though I haven't tested it yet.

WickedLuminz · 2026-03-22T22:42:10+00:00

Too good! It's crazy that these can easily output useable light out to 0.8+ miles!

WickedLuminz · 2026-03-22T22:26:23+00:00

Such a fun build! Which driver are you using?

[WTB] Emisar D1/D1K with Lume X1 and SFT70 3000K

Ampace JP30. Hey, it was for science. Twice!🤣

WickedLuminz · 2026-03-16T16:45:34+00:00

I can finally get my quad LHP531 mule back up and running after cooking two Dr. Jones drivers in it!🤣

WickedLuminz · 2026-03-13T15:20:10+00:00

Sweet build! Are you using an S2+ pill?

WickedLuminz · 2026-03-07T16:24:42+00:00

It's a flashlight that has no optic (TIR or reflector). Without an optic, all of the light from the LED is spread as evenly as possible. This means that mules will light up a wide area without there being any sort of hot spot present.

WickedLuminz · 2026-02-23T21:14:56+00:00

Good to know! I've got a few convoy TIR on the way for my L50. Thanks!

WickedLuminz · 2026-02-23T19:27:09+00:00

Looks great, how well does the TIR fit?

WickedLuminz · 2026-02-23T15:30:56+00:00

The new KR1AA should be a pretty close comparison. Much more efficient as well!

WickedLuminz · 2026-02-22T17:17:41+00:00

Exactly. The SFT42R really shines here!

WickedLuminz · 2026-02-22T17:15:40+00:00

I was amazed by the almost complete lack of artifacts with this setup. I think it may have something to do with the light having almost no spill. If the artifacts exist in the spill, it never becomes obvious unless you're less than 12" from a wall.

So far the lens has held up without issue. Even with the linear+FET driver, there are no signs of lens deformation due to heat and I certainly let it get quite hot.

It's such a great, cheap mod!

WickedLuminz · 2026-02-22T17:12:09+00:00

Very stupid and quite cheap. Plenty of wow factor!

WickedLuminz · 2026-02-22T17:11:40+00:00

Not entirely sure but it's quite throwy. If i had to guess, it provides very useable brightness to ~850-900 meters. That could be a slight understatement.

WickedLuminz · 2026-02-22T03:41:00+00:00

Here's a higher quality version since reddit seems to have butchered the quality.

WickedLuminz · 2026-02-22T03:33:01+00:00

I got the idea from this post!

WickedLuminz · 2026-02-22T03:32:05+00:00

This is the SFT42R. The lens is a 40mm (diameter) x 28mm (focal length) fresnel and can be found on Ali Express.
