Alright! Good work! Nice pictorial as well.
BEAMSHOTS!!! Good job, man.
This lends me to ask a total newb question... Are red high power LED's more efficient than white high power LED's? As in lumens/watt? Or is that only right for 5 mm LED's?
Yes, now, has anyone done an H50?!
I attempted to, but the construction is such that, after you manage to break the threadlocker on the head, the only thing you're left with is a tube with one closed end and one with nothing but a flat PCB to work with. I used a very fine blade to scrape out the material between the housing and the PCB, but the only thing I succeeded in doing is breaking electrical contact between the PCB and the housing... I couldn't move the PCB because there was nothing to gain purchase with. I toyed with the idea of a solder-blob and wire to pull with, but something told me that was a bad idea. It turns out that a tiny bit of solder melted to seam between the PCB and housing fixed the contact problem I created, but I can't see further disassembly going well. Here's hoping somebody will prove me wrong! :duh2:
You can't push the PCB out the battery tube?
So bean... DId you have to repot the led in the H30 mod? Is it still waterproof?
So in your current mod, it is not re-potted.
Is there any kind of seal between the lense and the body? If not, I guess any mod would render the light a lot less waterproof if unpotted. Is this correct
