Hi everyone,
Endeavour kindly sent me one of his CR2 Ion prototypes to check out.
Well, I took the liberty (with his permission) to mod it!
First I polished up the reflector (brass) and then build a pill
from scratch for direct driving with a li-ion cr2. Then the next
day I took a little time and made it two stage with a 10ohm resistor.
On high it draws 850ma and on low 100ma off a fresh cell. On low
it runs for a good 4 hours.
Anyway, words don't justice, so here are some pictures
plus a bonus VIDEO for you all to check out:

heres our little hero:
(sorry i took this at night so it was lit by the HDS)
