I'll try to take some beamshots tonight, at least indoor ones.

Kinjeo, nice work, what a mod! :rock:

Glad to see you were able to adapt the sink originally designed for the Ostar to the MC-E.

The beam must be beautiful, the Fraen MC-E reflectors do a marvelous job.

Wow! Can't wait to see beamshots! Nice complement to the LegionII- another great light.

I cannot imagine how hot the head will feel....

Wow, I like it for so many reasons.. Original, I don't recall seeing any big head mag with the 2 kind of led. The work appears to be very clean. I think you have packed everything into that light that would fit. With the multi mode its not only eye blasting bright, it can be useful too.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.

I have some beam pattern shots, but for some reason photobucket isn't working for me. I have to upload them later.

It doesn't really get tham hot. After 30 mins on max power, the head was about 45C, a little warm to touch, but not burning hot. A lot of credit has to go to the excellent heat sink design by LED Zeppelin and beautiful FM head and body.

The beam is very useful. Thanks to the Fraen reflectors, it has a pretty tight hotspot, while offers enough spill to see the side.

Mac, I offered to pick up my stuff from you, so we can hang out, but you didn't reply to my email...
