Looks like a lot of great flood and I think that is perfect for this light's intended purpose, for me anyway. Where do you usually get yours from?

 

[ninemm]

Holy swizzle sticks! 😱 Output, beam, and tint all look very nice.

Been thinking about updating my nautilus. An xp-e would also be a good upgrade. A boost in output, and you'd keep a throat beam, which was Enrique's intention.

Nice work!
Did you do it yourself? or farmed it out
to an offshore conglomerate??

Holy crap, not only is the XP-G much brighter.... it made your photo bigger too!!!!!

Nice work! 😀

 

[brh]

Wow, aren't these notoriously difficult to crack open & mod? Beautiful beam there, I love the Aeon but am a little bit nauseated by its greenliness…

What reflector is that using?

Nope - definitely cannot take the credit for this awesome mod job. It is the work of none other than our own Milky.:thumbsup:

What reflector is that using?

He used a McR12-R reflector.

Very nice!

 

[Brasso]

What does Milky charge for a mod like that?

Is the low still low?

I really like the beam characteristics in that shot. :thumbsup:

Yup, McGizmo's reflectors are the best in the business, bar none.

What LED did you have swapped in? I know it's an XP-G but what tint and bin? Was the reflector swap necessary? Nice job Milky! That turned out great.

I had him put an XP-G R4 5B neutral tint emitter in it. I guess the reflector swap wasn't exactly necessary, but if he was going to the trouble of getting the light open, I wanted to pair the XP-G with a more suitable reflector. I'm happy with how it turned out.

I'm only asking because I'm wanting a Muyshondt to swap an XP-G into and I want to learn but what makes the McR12 R more suitable than the original reflector? Also I checked out the McGizmo forums but I didn't see the reflector you have in there mentioned. How can I learn more? I think it turned out perfect! A great beam pattern for that type of light IMO! :thumbsup:

Send Milky a PM and he can get you a quote.

Yep. It's still using the stock driver with the same low and high current. The XP-G low actually seems a little lower to me, but I think it's due to the floodier nature of the beam. Here's a comparison shot:

Aeon Stock R2 XR-E - Low

Aeon XP-G modded R4 5B - Low

That looks really awesome. I'm contemplating an Aeon just so I can have Milky mod it like that.


The Aeon's should really come like that.

 

[Nake]

The Aeon's should really come like that.

When the Aeon was being made there were no XP-Gs yet, 🙂

 

[gswitter]

Wow, that low beam looks great!

That is one very tempting mod.
