I'm trying to replace a P7 mod I did with a XHP 70. Bought a metal reflector but I'm not sure if the led needs to stick through like the P7 did or not. It was nice to be able to adjust it.

What is the light your working on? Its focusable? My wife still carries a C8 with P7 I put in it years ago. The reflector on it sits around the dome of the LED, but on the rim of the emitter. When I set the same reflector over an XHP70 the correct focal point for the reflector was around the dome, but not sitting all the way down on the LED base itself.

Ok. It is still possible to do what you want then. You may need a new heat sink though. I have copper heat sinks with a 16mm post on them which will allow for use of an XHP-70.

I use this heat sink

With this mcpcb

Using the copper heatsink you can actually reflow solder the MCPCB right to the heat sink for an exceptional thermal path.

I use this setup with a mosfet driver and get around 4,000 lumens from it.

That won't fit up inside the mag reflector though. I got an aluminum from kaidomain and its only 14-15 mm. I'm not sure how I can open it up without wrecking it at the breach. What did you do? Sorry to get this post off track.

They are really not that hard to bore. Aluminum ones are easier than plastic. If you just put the reflector face down on a table you can drill the hole larger from the back. Then take a good sharp razor knife and clean up the hole. I have actually even bored some without use of a drill. If your patient you can trim away at the hole using only the razor knife and get a clean almost professional looking hole bored out.

Hey VoB, if we wanted an emitter or tint that you don't have available could we sent it to you to add to a board? I'm looking to put an XP-L or XP-L HI and a Nichia 219B in my Preons.

I'm looking at these LEDs; Nichia 219BT-V1 D200, XP-L 5b4/XP-L HI 5a2

Hi eraursls,

Yes, I can do that :) Richard from mountain also offers this service so if the emitter is from him he can put it on one. If its an emitter from illumn they dont offer a reflow service as far as I know so you could send it my way.

How about a 14mm xhp70 pad? I need it to slide through my aluminum reflector that I got for my mag. I am afraid to try to enlarge the bore and make it look like poo. I have a xhp70 on a 16 mm copper pad that it came on but I'm afraid to try to file it down.

I've never tried getting the XHP70 board down to 14mm, I kinda doubt it would be a good plan. Boring the reflector is not too hard. It carries risk like anything. However if you have a good sharp razor knife you can easily trim the hole out a little at a time to gain the size you need. If the hole is super small you can put the reflector face down and drill the hole a bit bigger, just make sure if you hand drilling you do the last part of the expansion with the knife to make sure you get clean edges.

If its not something you want to do yourself I can do it for you.
