I swapped out the stock emitters in an SP36 for 4 3535 sized pink emitters from KD. The output of the SP36 is pretty well matched to the pink emitters, except turbo won’t be available at a battery voltage of 3.6ish.

Not perfect but still fun. 👍

This is honestly why I love this community. Doesn't take itself too seriously at all.

Weird color? Check

Overkill? Check

Borderline useless? Check

Low skill? Check

Right up my alley.

Nice, i was just thinking about modding my sp36 because I never really use it. How was the process?

Pretty straightforward. The driver is glued in, so I used debonder and pushed the driver out by pushing on the top of the driver through the switch hole with some needle nose pliers.

That is so neat. Emitter swapping... the possibilities!!!

I’m thinking those green indicator LEDs need to be purple…

I think you inspired me to put green W2's in my Q8
