- Started with a Titanium Peak Caribbean. 
- Modified a Lumens Factory HO-E1R bulb assembly to fit the peak head.
This bulb is powered by a single AW RCR123 and off a fresh charge draws
about 800mah. Provides excellent runtime for an incan on a single RCR.
- Reflector is a cutdown McR20 to fit in the peak and raised up to focus
the beam to provide a usable hotspot.
- Lens is 20mm mineral glass..ground it down to about 17mm diameter
to fit the head. I found that high speed carbide cutting bits cut mineral
glass cleanly without chipping the edge. dremelling regular glass was a disaster.

Beamshot! took a lot of trial and error(grinding and shimming) to get good focus. Definitly happy with the results. nice fiery hotspot and clean spill.

-Wasnt sure how hot the lamp assembly would get so used some high temp
solder.. my poor butane iron was struggling, but eventually got it to melt.
wasnt pretty, but the post is secure. in the end, the HO-E1R doesnt really get too hot.
-used steel washers to shim the bulb into the reflector to just the right focus.
-McR20 wound up being just slightly larger than an McR16..probably could
have just used an McR16..I normally use McR16s in my caribbeans/pacifics
but i dont have any spares right now.

first ridge in the head.
