Sold/Expired Luxeon with DC/DC for under $20.00

[lambda]

Lately there's been some real upward creep in modified flashlight prices. Not that it is unwarranted with the accompanying improvements in performance and features, but still, prices are getting a little "pricey". While long time CPF members may accept the higher prices as they continue their quest for better and better lighting tools, it's a big jump for beginners and the newest members to fork over a large sum of cash for their first custom modded flashlight. Therefore, to give beginners and new members a more reasonable first mod entry price point, I present the EZ LED MOD $19.95 Illuminator Pill Kit - includes NX05 optic lens and gasket.

The Ill Pill is available in kit form to transform your existing Brinkmann Legend 2AA, MiniMag 2AA, or other suitable 2AA flashlight into a bright Luxeon LED flashlight. A great first modification for the beginner, this kit takes only minutes to apply and results in a durable and better performing flashlight than the original incandescent light.

That looks great.
Maybe even I could do that.
And a reasonable price too.
Will those be on the web page?

Very nice! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif Looks like a LD emitter? What is the drive current to the LS?

Yes, LD emitter with Nx05 optics.

Luxeon current varies from chip to chip and Luxeon to Luxeon; somewhere in the 350-450ma range.

Leave it to Kevin to make sure the newer guys aren't left out in the cold. In fact if it wasn't for Lambda's guidance and encouragement I wouldn't be making mods myself today - Truth!

Kevin, you Da Man...

 

[Xrunner]

Excellent. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I can't quite make out the scale on the runtime graph on your web page. Is it 10 minutes every vertical line? So about 70 min for NiHh bats?

 

[shiftd]

excellent price and ecellent stuff /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Lambda, would it be current regulated or V only? you said current somewhere from 350 to 450, how do we know which one we got?

Yes, that is correct, 10 minutes a line, 100 min graph. YMMV.

Mr. B, thanks.

I'll take one Mini Mag kit in Q2K.
email and paypal sent.

Thanks,
CY

 

[lambda]

Thanks cy!

 

[cool4light]

will this fit a mini mag aaa?

 

[browntown]

Email and paypal sent, thanks Lambda, your reasonable price point is much appreciated. Question: In the website instructions it speaks of the twist on/off as part of the heatsinking process, would a kroll not be reccomended for a minimag with IllPill?

 

[Seabass]

This may be a newbie question but I'm new here so hopefully I can get away with it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

What's the difference between this mod and the much more expensive MadMax/BadBoy sandwiches?

Also, do you know where I can find beam shots that show the difference between Q5K and Q2K?

 

[lambda]

cool4light - No, AA size flashlights only

Browntown - Kroll is fine, pill will be in contact with battery tube to light up

Seabass - good question; the IllPill is basically a much less efficient design than MM/BB, and produces lower current output. Hey, you got to give something up for the lower price..

 

[BigWonton]

Looks good - Paypal sent for two Q2K Mini Mag kits.

 

[Daddyo]

PayPal sent for 2 Q5k kits...thankyou

 

[Seabass]

Okay so another noob question: The IllPill and MadMax are both Luxeons while the Opalec Newbeam is three Nichias? And the differences in emitter types affects the brightness (which in turn affects battery life?)
