Thanks to Mr. Bulk's nice 6AA battery holder, here is a 5W version of the Cyclops. This thing is really bright. As bright as a regular Cyclops, but producing four times the light. Very clear difference when powered up outside at night; much more light!

Shown here with a 1W Cyclops on the right, and the 5W Cyclops on the left.

Edited - last night I posted the wrong pic, it was of my regulated 5W and a 1W Cyclops. This is the real pic; how it should look.

A very nice straight forward mod that really works well. Hopefully I'll get instructions for this and the regular Cyclops posted with pictures tomorrow.

I need a break tonight..

When Lambda made the one on the left, it was the Mighty Joe Young of the led flashlight world. So that makes the one on the right -- King Kong.

This thing is great. I can't stop playing, er, testing it.

On 6 fresh AA cells it draws 1.4 Amps, but I've not read a temperature over 99F at the Luxeon during continuous use.

Here's a shot of it next to a Surefire CPF G2.

It's the same heatsink as in the regular Cyclops. It fits nice and snug inside the top of the battery tube.

Holy Cow!!! I think this monstor will get more than 150 lumen, may be even 200:)))

1.4 amps at prolly 8 volts or so... doesn't that make it a ten< watter? If it doesn't at least produce 240 lumens, it's not efficient enough. But that's the prob with overdriving LEDs anyway.
