My blue Aspherical Maglite

The lens.

Rayman, can you let us know how this issue is solved :thumbsup:
I am going to be using a H22A for my forthcoming Mag build

The solution is another shim ring around the heatsink which has a height of 5mm which will raise the heatsink a little bit. But the problem with not getting a sharp die is only with the H22A heatsink in combination with the MG LAG011 aspherical lens. Which lens will you use in your mod?

I am going to use the MG 123 lens

Maybe you should shim the emitter itself ???

 

[Icarus]

Best solution would be to use a custom made heatsink.

If you have those resources available to you, then yes, starting from scratch would be the cleanest solution, but a lot of work for a simple problem.

Personally I think the shim ring is also a very clean fix and a lot less work.

Very nice blue is my favourite colour . So gotta have one .I am currently modding a silver 2d maglite into an rop hotwire and your blue led maglite is giving me some serious doubts. I do so like the blue gitd halo its adds a touch of class . Looks like i gotta and get a blue 2d maglite to mod into a led beauty similar to your own effort . Very nice and the bezel just tops it off . Lol cliff

KD = Kaidomain

They post in the dealers section in the Marketplace
Just a heads-up ... they can be slow with shipping

KD does sell the cheaper aspheric here KD4167, but if you are looking for a higher quality optic and don't mind spending a bit more buy a CVI Melles Griot aspheric here LAG-52.0-37.0-C also consider the optional A.R. coating (Anti-Reflective) MF-400-700. The protective bezels you can find here. :naughty:

I think Robo is non-US ???
I dont think Melles Griot ship outside of the US
I got my one thru Unforgiven's forwarding service

@Robo .... the Melles Griot lens is brighter than the KD lens, might be worth
the effort in trying to get hold of one.

im from germany so there might be some problems^^

i can add the lense to my cart and check out but then there is this sentence:
" For non-USA shipments a completed Department of Commerce
export document is required."

and i do not realy know what to fill in
i already sent an email but i got no response.

where did you find a bare R2 emitter? or did you harvest one from a star board?:candle:

 

[rayman]

I found an online-shop in Germany which sold them at that time. Don't know if the still have them.

[Nos]

led-tech.de and leds.de both have bare R2's

 

[Hugo2x]

I managed to harvest an R2 from a board and got mine done, it works great for night disk golf :twothumbs

 

[The_Police]

That has to be the sickest, most bad@ss Maglite mod I have ever seen....
5 stars man. I love it...

 

[The_Police]

how far out does the aspherical lens stick out?? I was planning on machining my own bezel, is 1 1/2inches long enough??

 

[rayman]

Sorry for answering so late, didn't see the post. I don't have the lens at the moment because I'm moving right now. But at the end of the week I can measure it.
