Brass Peak Caribbean mod

[MWClint]

Peak Caribbean mod.

I started with a 4000K seoul (they put out nice clean beams on small smooth
reflectors), so they are perfect for the peaks. The caribbean driver didnt
like the low vf of these seouls and blew up the led rather quickly.

I have a bunch of 800 mah buck drivers that match up with the low vf and
current requirements of the neutral white seouls, so i set up a new light
engine for the caribbean. The low vf even allows the driver to run well
on a cr123a primary.

oh, the lights are out, i'm using the seoul'd Ti Sapphire to light the place up.


The new light engine

The pcb has a hole for the led, so it can be epoxied directly to the heatsink below it.

Beamshot(800mah 4000K seoul) vs my EDC (500mah U2SWOH modded peak pacifc)..both use a 17mm IMS reflector.
Even though it's a lower flux bin, the extra current more than makes up for it.
it's quite bright.
