What does it take to get a mclux head going?

[Bushman]

If i buy a McLux PR head anodized black from the shoppe for $45 and throw it on to an E2e body will it make light? Assuming that I also put a MM+ R2h in it as well as a dummy battery inplace of one of the 123 cells?

You cant put sammichs in the PR mclux.
You will need a seperate LED and converter board.
The converter goes in the ecan (provided with head).

Could you give a little more detail? Ypu put the heat sink, led, and converter board into the ecan correct? And then that sits in the e-series light correct?
