Sawadee Krup Khun Krit,
Nice mod, those beamshots are an excellent bargain for your Baht!
I like the throw made possible by the oversized head and how neatly everything fits inside your light.
Does it get very hot with each XR-E running at 800mA?
Keep up the good work!

After I turn on for 3 minutes is getting warm. The head is quite good for heat transfer. At first, I try to put tiny fan from computer VGA card under heat plate, there is enough room for it. But I think that I will use it for intermittant use only.

I'm really tempted to do this mod myself, I love the way multi cree lights look! Is this the host you used for this mod? I'm checking because it's a 68 led light, not over a 100 leds like your startpost said, but it sure looks alot like it.
Another question, you mentioned getting 2x123 batteries in there... could you check if 1 18650 wil also fit and power up the 3 leds with the used circuits? That would be great. Also, is that huge heatsink you posted above custom made? Or is it a part that's found inside the flashlight?
Thanx! :candle:

The circuits are buck, or voltage step-down. So the 18650 will probably work initially, but fall out of regulation and end up with gradual dimming throughout the runtime. IMHO if a "C" battery fits, then another option may be to use a LiIon "C" battery. That has even greater capacity than a 18650, and would probalby perform better (not as much sag from the load of the three LEDs). The C would have more than double the capacity of 2 RCR123s.

I understand a c size li-ion will fit but I have about 14 18650's around, so If I'm gonna buy a mod host it should be able to fit 18650's.
Sorry for miss some data, it is 68 led light that you mention. It's fit with li ion C size but I not sure when circuit work in bug mode. This circuit work 3.6-9.0 volt and go to DD when Vin below Vf. I use 2xr123a because I use for short time only and easy to reachrge inside body.
KnOeFz, I cut aluminium plate to a circle heat sink. Thinkness is around 2 mm. It can act very good for heat transfer.
The stock front lens is plastic poor for transparent. I have more custom 2 mm thick glass lens to fit this body. Please tell me if someone want it for mod. Budget include post cost is about 5$.
