Hi guys!
Currently I'm on the way building my Magclone thrower, and I call it as "Magclone" simply because I bought the light from DX and it looks like the real Mag as it is very cheap
I'm going to put XR-E R2 emitter with DX 50mm aspherical lens. I have ordered a 1.2~2.0A driver from DX, but it still havent arrived yet(as you know, DX shipping is very slow...) so I plan to direct drive the XR-E R2 first before receiving my driver with two alkaline D-cell(non rechargeable) batteries. So I wish to know that if doing in this way would be too much for the led? I have seen one of the CPF member Masha(sorry if wrong spelling...) build of MagDEFT, which has been overdriven to around 2.0A if I remember correctly.
And If Im not mistaken the data sheet stated that the safe range of ampere for R2 would be 1.0A, and I saw some examples here in CPF that some people overdrive it to 1.4A, 1.6A... something like that.
By the way, I just burnt my multimeter fuse few days ago...
