Mini MR-X

[Icarus]

Soon after I became a member of cpf I signed up for the second run of MR-X.
Unfortunately this second run never happened. 🙁

Thanks to a very nice XW0S from Fred (PhotonFanatic) and George’s fantastic MaxFlex2 driver I finally could make my own Mini MR-X.
Needless to say the XW0S is pretty bright at 1.2A! 😀

Parts list:
· Black MagSC
· UCL lens
· LuxV XW0S emitter
· Green glowring
· O-sink
· MaxFlex2 driver (5 levels)
· runs on 1C or 1x18650 Li-ion cell

Length of the body is only 115mm! 😗
Light Engine can be seen here.

Enjoy. 🙂

Another nice mod Freddy!

I love the clean LE module and the 18650 sleeve.

MR-X? I don't see a Magic Resistor like the one I have here, hence MRX, not even using Howard's Hotlips! :nana:

Nah, I'm just kidding Freddy. :wave:

Beautiful mod & I'm jealous! :thumbsup:

Wow! Nice light! I am glad to hear that old technology still brings out joy. I still dream of owning an X-binned Luxeon V. Someday I will run into a sale of them and I will just get it. I like how you went with a stock looking Mag. I have a hard time telling, but is that a 2C or 1C cutdown? Have you though about using one of the Seoul P7 emitters in a similar mod, just to showcase the best of older technology and some of the newest technology? That would be neat! Also, you can do beamshot comparisons to compare beam size and shape (and of course brightness). Keep up the amazing work...

EDIT:

BTW, how many lumens do you expect is coming out of the Luxeon V at 1200mA? I was always curious since they were rated at 192+ lumens at 700mA. Thanks.

Very nice dude!

The X bin 5W might be "old school" to some, but certainly not to you or I

Very nice build.
My first mag mod build was a Mr bulk Space Needle copy.
I'll never forget the day I finished it. I put it all together at work in my lunch time. After lunch a workmate picked it up. Before I had a chance to say stop, yep, he turned it on, looking into the mag reflector.
"#*&$ !! never new they made LED's that bright" he said.
That evening tried it out in the dark night sky. Wow, he was right.
