Nice! Is this your first time modding a Zebra? What did you use to pry the bezel and what did you use to swap the emitter? Did you try to pack the potting stuff back in place afterwards?

No this is like my third time with the zebras. I used a really thin 4mm flat head driver and went around in circles until the bezel popped off. I then used my hot air for reflowing. As for the potting I only put back the potting on the underside of it. I would like to put the top potting back on but I don't think not possible. I'm sure modding it would lose some of its "tankiness" that ZL is known for. I would like to see if I can find some electronic potting mix to re-do it.
Damn, good job. That's no easy task. They look great.
Sorry to hear about your experience on the subreddit. Typically it's not like that at all.
I can't get enough of the 519A, but I didn't initially understand the hype around dedoming them... and then I got a D4K dual channel with both ends of the 519A spectrum but dedomed.
I get it now.
Which CCT are you liking more?
I personally prefer the 5700dd when daily EDC around the city for work. When I walk the dogs at night I prefer the 3500dd more as there's a lot of trees and bushes at my park. The warmer tint makes the colors vibrant at night for me.
Nice job!
Thank you! love seeing your post and data input that I've come across on BLF
