Vintage to Modern Flashlight Conversion | SUPER LIGHT GU-101

- I found this vintage flashlight from Japan recycle shop for $1. I love the look of this flashlight, but I do not like the technology. It is powered by 4 1.2V D type batteries with a total voltage of 2.4V. It is not very bright, while changing the battery is also difficult, because of these points, the flashlight was abandoned. I decided to incorporate next-generation technology into this flashlight so that it would be equally capable.
New Flashlight Information
- Rechargeable li-ion battery pack 12V, 17600 mAh,
- High and Low beam headlight 12V 60W
- COB LED Lamp 12V 12W
- 3.5 hours for headlight
- 17 hours for COB LED Lamp
You find those items bellows
- COB LED Lamp t.ly/uq1ib
- Headlight t.ly/0hLms
I hope you find this video useful and enjoy it!
Furthermore, I am happy to receive feedback, suggestions to improve myself.
!!! I'm sorry for the mistake if I did in this video !!!
Thank you very much for choosing to watch my video!
Have a nice day
Gear Show - Jak na to + styl
Now, this is what I like to see, "Gear Show"! Taking something old and making it new without losing its original charm. It reminds me of a good, solid home renovation - you're maintaining the character while improving functionality.
You've really hit the nail on the head with this one. That old Japanese flashlight wasn't doing anyone any good sitting in a recycle shop, but you saw its potential. It's all about looking past the surface, seeing what's underneath, and working to make it right - just like in my line of work.
I love the upgrade you've given it - a rechargeable li-ion battery pack and high beam headlight, it's like taking an old house and installing new, energy-efficient systems. Not to mention the endurance of this thing, up to 17 hours with the COB LED lamp, that's like insulating your home properly.
This is the kind of stuff I appreciate: high quality, durability, and most importantly, doing it right the first time. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see what else you've got up your sleeve! Remember, if you're going to do something, do it right.
Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to express that. Your comment makes my day.
The LED bulb assembly and the COB assembly fitting perfectly is really impressive. This conversion is truly awesome 😮

Is there a link to the parts used for an English version of the site?
The fact that both the LED bulb assembly and the COB assembly fit so well... man, i'd wanna say luck, but i know you did your research. Awesome conversion.
It is my lucky day, that I do this project successfully. I bought all parts before this project.
Great job as usual! Love it when retro tech gets a new lease on life!
Perfect remoderning of an old portable lamp,great job.
I also have a flashlight like this. You did great. They gave an old but useful item a second chance.
That is really nice, you can try like I'm doing.
I could watch more of this every day. Hell of an upgrade and I want that torch 😂
Excellent job again Mr. Gear Show 👏👏👏!!! That old torch was probably kinda okay before, but now it's like, really powerful and is way more use than it ever was before. Love your solid workmanship as well bud 👉👉👉. Thanks 🙏. 😎
What a great retrofit! Kudos!
Thank you, it makes my day to hear that.
Good finishing and smart work
Wow, great job.
What a bright soul you are bravo.
Jestem pod wrażeniem bardzo dobra robota
Bardzo dziękuję!
"Gear Show," your recent project demonstrates an admirable commitment to preservation and innovation. Your decision to salvage an outdated Japanese flashlight from obscurity and restore its functionality without compromising its vintage aesthetics parallels the rigorous demands of a comprehensive home renovation.
This endeavor illustrates the importance of discerning potential in the seemingly obsolete, a concept reminiscent of my own professional ethos. By taking an item others might dismiss as refuse and imbuing it with renewed purpose, you're not only reducing waste but also creating something of greater value.
The upgrades you've incorporated into the design, such as a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack and a high-beam headlight, are akin to installing modern, energy-efficient systems in an older house. Furthermore, the resilience of the redesigned flashlight, with its capability to function for up to seventeen hours using the chip on board (COB) LED lamp, underscores the same importance of durability we find in well-insulated homes.
This project exemplifies the qualities I value most: exceptional craftsmanship, longevity, and the conviction to execute tasks correctly on the first attempt. I am eager to see how you apply your innovative approach to future restorations. Remember: strive for excellence in all that you do.
Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to feedback on my work. I rarely meet a viewer like you. Your knowledgeable comment makes my day. I really satisfy with your review. Again, thank you so much!

Amazing job my friend congratulations 👏👏👏👏
Outstandong workmanship 👍👍
Very good work.
You are awesome bro thanks for the sharing this video 😊
Excelente trabalho. Meu avô tinha uma lanterna dessa no sítio dele. Por causa deste vídeo boas lembranças voltaram, muito obrigado. Gostei do kit de farol de moto como proposta para substituir a lâmpada incandescente antiga. O painel de led também foi a melhor escolha, até achei que irias usar uma fita de led adesiva, mas o painel ficou mais legal. No final a lanterna ficou melhor, irá iluminar mais, e também ganhou autonomia das baterias. Eu imagino o quanto de lixo já foi gerado com anos e anos de uso de pilha AA, AAA, tipo D... e assim vai
Obrigado, fico muito feliz em ouvir isso. Da mesma forma, eu realmente aprecio você ter tempo para expressar seus sentimentos aqui. Acho que o número de ferramentas que usam AA, AAA, tipo D reduz agora.
Fantastic job ♥
fantastic job.
Complimenti per la lampada modernizzata
Perfect 👌
I would have left the switch original and not done the half brightness mode but that's just my preference. I love your videos man, every time I watch one it makes me want too go to the thrift store and find a new project.
Great upgrade 😊
Thank you!😊
Hello mister beautiful restoration beautifully restored good job well done
Thank you, it makes my day to hear that.
Great job man !!!
Thanks a lot!
Excellent job
Thank you!
Good work
clean like always great job bro
Yes, thank you!
amazing
Perfect work 👍
Thank you so much 😀
What a great little bit of upcycling, really well researched and put together. I would have tried to make it water resistant, sealing all the external joints with windscreen sealant (butyl rubber) or something similar, but chap, that's something to be very proud of.
Thank you for the feedback, your ideas are acceptable.
Great stuff
Thanks
Great job
Thanks
Wow Megajob!
Very impressive upgrade. All them new parts seemed to be made for the job.
I upgrade this flashlight for use in my farm. Thank you!
9:10 Always be careful when you want to mount power modules with hot glue. The heat from a high power circuit board is possible to soften or melt hot glue!
Автор установил мощные светодиоды на радиаторах охлаждения в корпусе без отверстий для охлаждения. Клей обязательно расплавиться при долгой работе. И хорошо если не расплавится корпус. Или сгорят светодиоды от перегрева.
very nice flashlight rebuild.
Thanks 👍
One of the best jobs with flashlights on YT. 😎
Thank you, it makes my day to hear that.
Sempre il migliore!
Grazie mille!
Great!! only needs a battery charge level.
Thank you!
Very Good..Very Like ..God bless you.. Thanks.....
And some diodes for extra safety
Your vintage torch looks more modern than I have in 2023😅😅😅
Good job 👍
Thanks
Nice job. I like the clean-up and rechargeable battery upgrade.
But one thing I _don't_ like is the LED upgrades. I'd prefer to have seen the original fluorescent and tungsten lamps left in place. This would make it still operate similar in fashion to how it did originally.
very nice
レトロと現在の融合、私は大好き
それを聞いてとてもうれしいです。
Super
Great work on this channel Gear Show, much love from Romania big bro 🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴
Thank you, it makes my day to hear that.
I loved these lamps as a kid...
that's amazing conversion. I have some really chunky flashlight with lantern battery that's not even bright. I could do this.
Great job. I want one.
Thank you!
I hope that switch don't burn out bro .....nice conversion 😉😁
Love it, Love it, Love it
Thank you!!
Nice ! What's the product you're using to polish plastics ?
Interested too.
It is a car polishing cream.
Классная переделка на светодиоды.
Я тоже как то хотел один фонарик переделать на светодиоды.... Но чтоб так все подошло по размерам..... Такого у нас нет в магазинах. Вам всего наилучшего
Отличная работа.
you save earth thanks for recycle
It's my pleasure, thank you!
Good work 👏
Thanks😊
Very cool. Still waiting for a gas to battery project 😁
I'm interesting on that project too. I want to convert gas trimmer to battery trimmer.
Obrigado pelo ótimo vídeo
perfect 👍👏👏👏
Thank you! 😃
Love it.
Thanks
Es increíble la potencia lumínica que tienen los LED's blancos; nada más pensar que no hace ni 20 años lo mejor eran las luces fluorescentes!... 😮
very nice job bro
Thanks
100 /10 👌
Love your work. Earned a sub. Do you have a "shop tour" or something? really liked your custom made wooden handle hex bit drivers.

Nice retrofit. But there had to be some dumb luck in stumbling across parts that happened to fit. Thought those kinds of things may have needed more custom fabrication.
good job
