Hi everybody. since this is all about Alephs, McCapsule, and in generell a task for the most experienced modders, I thought this should be the appropriate forum.
For months I've been thinking about something that would be comparable in output to the L4 but more pleasing to my eyes.
I know many don't recommend using 5W LE's in an Aleph2, mostly because of thermal problems. On the other Hand, some people seem to be succesfull with Longbows, 5W-McCapsules and the Standard longbow-head. Are there better thermal paths in the longbow design or is it simply that no one mentioned the thermal problems before?
In fact I like the longbow design and I already have a micra, so getting a McCapsule to go with it would probably be the cheapest way. I don't really care for two levels for this light, though having them would be nice.
As far as I know, there is no way to get the mini (2x123) tube without buying a mini. Does anybody know of a custom tube that cold be made to work with the micra-head and capsule? Perhaps a tube could be made to accept the longbow head and capsule on one side and the Aleph-tailcaps on the other side? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif
