same as above, and thanks for the information.What did you do ? what color were these originally?
It was a standard black l2, took al the guts out and tucked it in the oven on broil mode. (High temperatures make the color of the annodizing change)
Kept it in for 15 minutes or so, color changed to dark chocolate, so put it back in, and did that for several 10 minute sessions. Total for an hour or so to reach this copper like color. iPhone pic makes it little lighter than it really is. Its a nice coppery color, wanted that to accompany my western outfit.
Those were discontinued in 2011. I've been looking to make mini's out of them and can't find a one. New bodies are one piece.The body of the L2 is 2 parts that are screwed together with an 'O' ring. Did you take that apart as well?
+1Do you have to turn it or anything for even colour effect, what temp? Do you have to let it cool down every noe and again, and how light can you get it?
Looks awesome BTW!

I'm definitely going to try that with one of my lights. Any idea what would happen to the tan, grey/silver ones? Do they get lighter too? Thanks!
Not mine, but one I modded. Aspheric is 75mm. HS is hybrid Al / Cu. Height is to raise LED to focal plane.
