I managed to pick up an incan light for my .22 for $1, which to be honest was all it was worth. The bonus was the mount it came with. It ran off 2 x 123a's, and the output was weak to say the least.
KD and DX now sell XP-E's on 1/2" boards, so the plan was to use a Q5 XP-E as a replacement for the incan bulb. While looking around the various sites, I found a 22mm aspheric lens, and also a 15mm 1000ma single mode driver board. A plan had come together
A slug of alloy from an old PC heatsink was turned to fit the driver and LED, and the parts dutifully fitted with thermal adhesive. The soldering was a bit more delicate than what I am used to, but the magnifying glass helped.
The body of the light was bored to accept an 18650 cell, the original glass replaced with the aspheric, and hey presto a much longer range light to pick of the rabbits with.
