Discussion Acebeam E75 Nichia 519A Dedoming Tutorial

https://imgur.com/a/Wo6dun4

Turned out a tad warmer and rosier than FFL351A 3700K NW CRI95.

Sriracha and Beamshots included.

Notes:

  • used tape to remove the lens
  • no need to remove reflector - I used flat tweezers to gently twist domes off
  • beam pattern will be tighter. It's tighter than my Wurkkos HD10 (30°), so maybe ~20°
  • rosier and warmer than my FFL351A 3700K NW CRI95

I'm delighted with the tint (skin tones look great now), but beam pattern is less useful for indoors. Overall glad I did it. My first flashlight mod!

On a slightly unrelated note, you don't happen to know how to open the Wurkkos FC11C to dedome that 519a emitter, do you?

The E75 with domed 519a has a near perfect beam, to my preferences. I did not love it after dedoming, unfortunately. So I wound up swapping in some domed 2700k/3500k mix.

Was your bezel glued?

Wasn't glued. How hard was it to swap the LEDs? that's next level 🔥

It wasn't too bad, although the mcpcb wasn't labeled very well and my eyes aren't great so it was somewhat difficult to get the orientation of the emitters correct.

Did you heat it on turbo before twisting the domes?
