Hey guys -- I'm back from vacation and I just finished up a few mag modifications.
Ok the picture above is of the 'business' end of the 2d Mod. It uses an R2H 1W with a 350mA Micropuck.
Now here I have a question. I am using one of Wayne's 30mm collimators (I wanted more spill than the mag reflector). I stuck in the collimator, screwed everything down, only to find that the collimator does not touch the lens of the mag. Because of this, the collimator will move around a small amount (never comes entirely off of the LED) whenever you turn the mag horizontally. So my cheap looking answer to this was to cut down the reflector until it was the same height as the collimator, and then place packaging tape over the two objects, which succesfully holds the collimator in place. This looks very, well, lame but it seems to work -- is there a better method?
(All pictures excepting the last one are taken at: 1/10 sec | F2.8 | ISO 200)
Next picture: 2D Mag before the mod
Next: 2D Mag after the mod
For reference here is the 2d and an Arc AAA:
Next we have my 6D mod and the 2D. I left the camera settings alone so that you could see how incredibly bright the 6D is (V2T with 6D cells and a 5W .5 Ohm resistor).
Finally I have a picture of all three flashlights' beamshots just for kicks:
There are 6 images total with a combined size of around 200kb. Tell me if this is too much and I will remove as many as needed.
