Yes and no. While you can use the aux in all the strobes with the latest firmware, there are still only 2 brightness levels (a hardware limitation), and not all of them work like you would expect.
At the moment:
I use two pairs of vice grip, one on the head and one on the bezel, with some leather to protect the finish. Heating the bezel up by dipping it in some freshly boiled water should make it easier.
Using this method I have removed many bezels (TS10/SP10 Pro/FW1A Pro) uneventfully. Removing the tail is another story though, because the leather just keeps slipping on the smooth parts of the tube/tail.
Copper TS10, 3000k, orange aux with mandatory mod
I received this copper TS10 a few days ago and I finally got some time to do that mod that I also do when I receive a TS10. When shipped, the aux leds (regardless of colour) are always too bright and drain the battery too fast for my liking. For the orange aux, I added a 510Ω resistor, which dims it down to a comfortable brightness IMO. I don’t have the numbers right now but the battery will also last much longer in high mode. Here are some pictures to show the difference. High mode: left - no resistor added, right - 510Ω resistor added [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/2377cca8-08a0-4caa-921e-45dc43228b73.jpeg] Low mode: left - no resistor added, right - 510Ω resistor added [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/2d946e77-48e0-479a-8e28-e1071f8a66cb.jpeg] High mode after modding: 510Ω resistors added to both lights, much better [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/a98eba07-89b7-4cf9-88a9-89a88fffcf6e.jpeg]
