so i'm trying to modify the gold m@g 1D i got from fivemega, amazing job btw. ok i am new to this and am not sure everything i need to build this light. let me tell you what i want so you can tell me what i need
i'm going with the 3x17670 rechargeable li ions. so at this point that's all i have.
id like a nice bright led drop in with multiple levels high, low or high,med,low. whatever is available. sst90 or xml i guess.
don't know if i need a custom heat sync or if that comes with the drop in.
id like a gold reflector. i know that will make the tint of the light slightly warmer so im looking for a cooler tint led to compensate, i don't mind the loss of lumens going with the cooler led, that's why i want a real bright set up. (read something about lumen loss when using a gold reflector and cool led since it reflects more of the warmer temp light.)
id also like a gold metal replacement switch which would allow for the multi levels i requested from the drop in above.
lastly a machined aggressive m@g strike bezel. (could be one made from a stock m@g bezel and machined or a more aggressive replacement bezel.)
as you can tell im going for an all gold look here haha. this is more for looks than practical use but i want it to be nice and bright shelf queen.
thank you for any help and insight you can offer!
