Does anybody have a mounting scheme for the emmiter in a Mclux that will be secure, yet allow the owner to upgrade or change color at a later time?

As a newbie to the Candle Power Forums the McLux bug bit me pretty hard. I am curious if you are looking to change out the emitter for a different color or you were more interested in changing to a different configuration LED ??? I know that in one of the other McLux threads that the light that Don / McGizmo sent over to Singapore had a high dome in it which sparked a lot of interest. After getting my first McLux today courtesy of McGizmo I can finally say I understand where all the interest in this light came from. I don't want to change a thing in this one, and would think your best route would be to consider buying a McLux head unit from Dat2Zip and experimenting with that one. Then again maybe you have lots of McLuxes and you can justify playing around with them.
Since I don't consider myself a modder, I took the route of buying several in different configurations. I have a couple of heads on the way that I had set up with 500mA boards with select Luxeons so that I could play around with the different lights. I know that a couple of the other dream team skunkworks guys offered to set them up so I change the configuration, but I figured the best bet is just have different lights.
So after all of that, is there something I am missing in your idea of not potting the heads?? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
