Decided to take a Dremel tool to an Mcr17XR to try it with a Cree in a Fenix Lop. A FluPic for multi-levels of light sounded like a good way to go and it now runs on a Li-on battery.
First I cut to fit in a L1p with a Cree but I didn`t like the beam as much as the Mcr20 and a Cree which is larger in diameter.
The small end of the reflector is all that is needed for an Lop but it is .500" in diameter. I hand filed it to .480" to fit the Lop head before cutting it to length. Removing that little bit took a while to file away.
The reflector is getting very small so these came in very handy for holding it secure without damaging while cutting with a Dremel.
A baby reflector that was hidden in the Mcr17XR.
Since there was a hole the Luxxeon mounted down inside I used a Copper pedistal under the Cree for mounting it. Wires wires a pain in the booty to solder so they clear the reflector and also wont contact the bezel when screwed on. Tight fit and tough soldering for me but somehow I managed.
Why I used a Ti XR19-C instead of a Fenix Lop for beam shot comparison?
Just a good excuse to play with the McGizmo Ti light I guess.
All shots are around 3' to 4' from wall.
Lop on left. Both lights on low.
Lop Medium ..... XR19-C Low
Lop on the left. Both lights on high.
Not much in the way of throw from this light but and I like the large diameter beam and flodd for a keychain light.
Now it`s time to fix up a little polished Titanium Fenix with a Cree.
This post is now over!

I deciced to add this beamshot comparo with a stock Lop.
