Before embarking on this build I modeled everything in SolidWorks. I'm a perfectionist so things had to be right or I wasn't going to be happy. The end result is awesome. The light works great and it looks great.
Components used are as follows:
- Surefire M1 with stock Z58 switch
- BB Nexgen 750 converter board
- LedEngin LZ1-30UV00-0000 which is mounted on factory board.
- Machined pill out of brass bar stock
- LED board is secured to pill using Arctic Alumina adhesive.
- 24ga. silicone wires
After assembling and testing the UV output was minimal. I called LedEngin to ask them what might be going on. They were a great help and after many questions we finally realized that the stock M1 lens was a UV absorbing material. I removed it, and bingo, fantastic UV light. The only drawback is, there's no lens. There are UV transmitting plastics and glass that could be cut and installed but I don't have time to do that.
The light is all flood and will seemingly fluoresce an entire room at once.
Nothing on the body, bezel, or tailcap was modified. All of the stock components are included so you could switch it back if you wanted.
SOLD - $150 shipped USPS flat rate within the U.S. Payment by PayPal only.
Please PM me with any questions.
Please post an "I'll take it" here in this thread. This takes precedence over any other PM's or communication.
Thanks!
