McLux PR Quad-XPG

- McLux PR
- Carlo 24mm quad optics
- Cree quad XP-G R5 pcb
- LEDs wired 2S2P
- Brass ecan
- Constant current SOB1000 driver

Since LEDs are wired 2S2P each XP-G gets 500mA.
Powered by two R123 cells. Beam is mostly flood.

Enjoy

It seems like no one was interested in this mod but I can assure you the owner was very happy with this little gem.
Oh well, only old cpf members must know the real value of McLux PR and PR-T heads. :ironic:

I guess your thread slipped under everyones noses.....Great mod :thumbsup: even if it is almost three years old now! I wish I could do such mods.... but I don´t even own a soldering iron and even if I did I doubt my hands would be calm enough. Thanks for the resurrection

Freddy, you're a master. I remember your excellent triple Aleph3 mods. The PR head looks so good mated with the 2-cell E-series Surefire body and tailcap. :thumbsup:

Hi Daniel :wave: it is nice to see an old friend is still hanging out here! :thumbsup:

It's a pity Don decided long time ago to stop making the PR and PR-T heads.
I'm sure if they would be offered again they would still sell in good numbers.

I just got my first PR head and I can't take it apart for anything! I'm afraid to damage it.
I don't know if I would make it into a quad but I'd like to get a nice neutral XM-L in it…
Cool light that quad!

The ecan containing the driver is epoxied into the back of the head so it doesn't unscrew like with the Aleph heads.
Use a heat gun to heat the back of the head. Once the epoxy gets soft the ecan comes off easily... or send that PR to me.

Don't forget to desolder the leads of the LED from the front first.
LED and ecan are not 1 part like with the Aleph LE's. Hope this helps.
