Soooo.....fit the optic/mirror/whatever to the Mag bezel below the lens, and use the focus feature to bring it properly close to the light source, whether Lux III or incan, and FEAR NOT? Is that IT?
There's just GOTTA be more to it than that, right? Have I finally discovered a real use for the Mag focusing capability? If that's all, the MJLED was harder. Isn't there some sort of CPF rule against easy? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
Awaiting price information, and not too patiently, at that. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/popcorn.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

no it must be made very difficult so SireFire can make $400 bucks off the first one
the thing is very thin, but it looks like it would DROP-INTO the mag head, not stay on top. and because entude is a sponcer here at the forum, we could have had and applied these EONS ago.
it LOOKS like any ol hotlips could have this thing dropped on top of it.
the problem might be more How SPOTty it really is, not how easily applied it could be.
and i would wonder if a larger emitter like a 5W would make it just the right spot, instead of a laser beam /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
if i could read Korean i might already have one, and them aspherical lenses, everything else wouldnt be to new to me, because i have been using 6* optic now for a long time.
it cant be THAT difficult, but then after you try and assemble things it becomes harder.
it just seems to me that until sombody makes a decent FOCUSABLE reflector , you could set up a mag with MANY optics types, using the mod drop-ins that are in plenty around here.
then you could have BOTH.
if they are witholding another secret weapon, for vast consumptions of FUNDS, then the forum has gone from forum to 100% SALES :-(
i dont think that will happen this year.
if the big dealy is another set of OHH WOWs for a month, till the local sellers can aquire them, and mark them up 2X, then , thats not development, that hindered development, and mabey it has something to do with why THERE IS NOTHING NEW.
(whine whine whine)
hey avoid that 3* fiber optics thing unless you HAVE fiber optics, because its not designed for throw.
the 25* is a bit messy, but does a fair flood, with a hotter spots in the center.
the 25x6* makes a nice Line
the 6* makes a spot that is not MUCH better than a 10* we have been using, but its an improvement.
the 2* is totally different, might have high losses because of the dual reflection, is very spotty, and from what i saw is not much cleaner of a spot than a mag focused down. but i only got to play with it for a while.
