Yes it will work. I did it with a first generation Orb using a K2 180 lumen TFFC. It worked out just fine with no beam problems

Good to know.
Just one more thing... Ordinary thermal goop or epoxy? (I've spotted some cheap Arctic Silver)

Done.
Can I just say: 'I hate thermal epoxy'? (the LuxIII came off in two parts...)

[The TFFC2 epoxied and soldered]

Nice job!:thumbsup:
I just did a second one to a Cree Raw, put in a Q3 5A emitter, breathed new life into a classic.

It's dark now, so what's it like?
I swapped my LUXIII to a SSC P4, now it looks like I might have to upgrade the upgrade !

Same beam pattern (not quite centred though...), I'd say 50/180 lumens, a nice neutral white - 'clear' comes to mind - warmer than either a Cree Q5 WC or GD+ and missing that green tint the LuxIII had on low.
No word on runtime yet.
