I'm getting the stuff together for my very first mod (ROP). All I am lacking is a metal reflector. I'm chomping at the bit to get this thing going and I can't find one!

Does anyone know where I can find one soon? Oh, if you have a recommendation on LOP, MOP, or HOP, I'd appreciate that too.

Thanks

Hi Varmint1 -

Here are a couple of threads with beamshots of the various reflector finishes.

If you want Smooth, Fivemega has them in stock.
If you want the OP or stippled finishes, myself or Lightedge will have some in stock shortly.
Modamag has designed his "M2" reflector which has a different parabola shape purportedly for better throw and this should be available starting at the end of the month.

There are differences with the aluminum reflectors available on CPF.
There are cammed reflectors and camless reflectors. Some have bulb openings of .650" others have .377" and the new M2 design will have another couple of opening sizes to offer further options depending on your application.

I don't have the ROP bulbs, but I have read that it will fit in the reflectors with a ream of .377" or larger.

Thanks! That really helped a lot. How do I get ahold of Fivemega?

Also, what's the best type of lens to use and where can I get one?

Sorry for all the questions. I've been lurking here for a long time and have finally given in to the urge to start modding.

This stuff is addictive.
