Love the HAlll look but is it worth the extended durability cost?

Thanks Essexman. I try.Essexman said:Wow Great post, thanks for that LumenHound ! You appear to be the Luxogen LR-10 expert. When I get some time this is one mod I must do. Again thanks for posting all that info.
Uh, guys...take a close look at the top of the stock emitter board. It rests up against the bottom of the metal reflector and the sidewall of the metal reflector makes intimate contact with the inside surface of the bezel. Once the anodizing wears through a bit on the very fine threads between the body and bezel then that bezel will become electrically negative.jsr said:Well, put a SSC P4 in my LR12 last night and DAMN!!! it's bright! I checked the emitter board and it is electrically neutral, so there's no need to isolate the slug on the SSC P4. The reason it's neutral, as opposed to other pills that are typically negative, is because the pill body is plastic and doesn't physically connect the emitter board on top to the driver on the bottom. Most other pills are solid aluminum which connects the emitter board to the brass/Cu ring on the bottom to the driver board.
All I did was use a 30mil Cu spacer from SS to raise the SSC P4 with thermal grease between both interfaces (just a touch). Focus is great...it's actually got a tighter hotspot than with the Lux and is very bright (definitely over 100 lumens) on a RCR2. I haven't tried it on a primary CR2 yet, but dang this suckers bright now! There was no need to remove material from the reflector for me.
