Hi All,
I've got a Barbolight U-15 that I purchased from Custom Divers in 2006, it has 4 luxeon III LED's producing 360 lumens.
I would like to improve it's performance and I started two threads but so far no responses
This one I'm looking for someone to help upgrade it to 900lumens

This one I'm looking for a non-switch tailcap.

So thought I would try in the actual Dive lighting section, Is there anyone who could help point me in the right direction on how to improve it without any special tools (lathe, mill etc).
I found the jpg's of the bomb-proof host which sort of give me the measurements of the head (they seem similar but the jpg is fuzzy) but couldn't find the actual .rar file that had the PDF's which I assume would be clearer, or at least that's what I think based on the photos I've seen in the threads about the bomb-proff host builds.
I think the easiest upgrade is to replace the Luxeon's with KLC8's (the U-15 used these in a later build, then a single P7) but I'm not 100% sure if it's direct drive or not for that version.
Any help, comments etc gratefully received (including you've posted in the wrong you muppet).
Cheers
Neil
