I've been looking for the excellent thread showing numerous pictures of disassembly and modding of a Mag. Has anyone any ideas of which one I am referring to?

There are...sorry for not giving more details. I want to build an ashpherical Mag and have the components and would like to see pics of the Mag switch being taken out and a P4 being wired to an H22a heatsink. I thought I'd asved this but can't find it. This is nothing complex so, if it can't be found, I go it on my own.

OK, that's settled now.....I want to use a 52mm (dia) condenser lens. What might be considered the better of two focal lengths....33mm or 38mm? Any difference in beam performance or that affected rather by the diameter and quality of the lens itself?

Thanks. I'm looking at Melles Griott at this point--a premium $ but not enough to give me heartburn. I am more concerned with performance and ability to focus properly. The focus may not be a problem with either but I just don't know.

The 33 will capture more light, but the 38 will have a tighter beam.

"33" more intense light and "38" further throw due to smaller ("tighter") focusing.....right? Potentially a large difference or barely discernable?

So! how goes it with your aspherical build? I went ahead and splurged on the Melles Griot 01 LAG 123 because LuxLuther recommended it.

I did not use a P4 but used a Q5 LED and I am very impressed with the beam

I din't get my lenses quite yet---as far as I know. I'm on the road away from home a bit anymore. If they are there and, if I get some time this weekend I MIGHT be able to put this together...I hope!
