I just finished my new "Lumen-King"

The partlist:

- Maglite 2C
- 4 x SSC P4 LED's USW0H
- 4 x 20 mm IMS reflectors
- UCL lens (or you have to lose 130 Lumens with mineralglas :green: )
- 2 x AW's C Li_ion
- Wide Tail Cap from Fivemega
- shark driver with external pot.
- Lipo Safer (low bat indicator with 5mm LED, 2nd picture)
- and a lot of tools and time :grin2:

Great mod zelda; another one for my bookmarks. How many feet back do yo think you were back from the wall you were shining onto? Guessing from the pictures, seems like around 100 feet?

Hmmm... In that thread linked to above the beamshot LOOKS like it has a tight edged "moonbeam" sort of spot.

I have a VERY bright 3AA Streamlight Tasklight with a Cree, but it has an ICKY beam. I really like a bright spot that blends off into the spill.

What comes out of the OPs light is mighty nice too!

Please make a Tutoral!

This is the perfect host (Mag 2c) for a pocket rocket with decent runtime!

Great Job!

Very Sweeeet light you got there. Color and brightness are amazing. Great work zelda.

Re: Quad Mag 2C SSC P4 *with beamshots*

thanks for the comments :D

The heatsink is a simply slice with 49.8mm diameter and its 9.8mm thick. EDIT: Its 48.4mm diameter!
I made the ID of the Head a bit larger and cut 0.2mm of the bearing surface to avoid bad contact for the heatsink. The heatsink is fastened with 4 M3 screws.

what would happen if you put an aspherical lens on it
I think it doesn't works with reflectors. I will try without them.
a Quad Mag with 4 aspherical lens would be a new challenge :)

Any chance of getting a tutoral and parts finder?

You're on to something, and I'll bet others would like to build your creation!
 
Re: Quad Mag 2C SSC P4 *with beamshots*

Nice Light Zelda!

How much are you selling them for? :grin2:
 
Re: Quad Mag 2C SSC P4 *with beamshots*

Thing is awesome dude - I'd love to do one myself!! I just installed ONE USX0H - my first of the new LED (been gone for a while), and these things are amazing. I can't imagine what 4 of these would be like.

I'll have to look up this shark driver.
