Guides you in taking apart the Slimlighter Super-LED for maintenance or just pure curiousity :)
Wat je nodig hebt

-
This is Whelen's second generation Slimlighter. Whilst the first generation had multiple 5mm LED's, this generation Slimlighter has 'only' 12 TIR6 style LED's.
-
Enough chatter, let's take it apart :)
-
-
-
Optionally one can first take of the suctioncup brackets. They are held in place by two Philips screws.
-
Next you can take off the retaining brackets. They are held back by a little notch that has to be lifted with a spudger. Repeat this step for the other side.
-
Once the notch is lifted pull the bracket away from the light as shown.
-
-
-
Once the brackets are released the light can easily be dissasembled. Begin by lifting the diffuser lens up as shown.
-
One can also have clear lenses here, the procedure is the same.
-
Note that the lens has a similar notch on the other side, underneath the Whelen logo. Carefully pull the lens out from underneath, don't force anything or it will break.

-
If desired, take out the six Philips screws to remove the LED circuit board from the bracket.
-
Note that the rear circuit board is held back by the same screws.
-
The LED board can easily be replaced by any other TIR6 board, any color (as far as I could check!)
-
Note that there is cooling paste between the LED board and the bracket. Make sure you replace it.
