Just like the Title says...looking to buy a Q3 with an amber/yellow LED.
I'd prefer 1 with a 2-stage tailcap as well but it's not necessary.

Also, if you have any other amber LED lights, let's talk! ;)

Amber K2 in a small Jil. That sounds neato!!

I take it the amber K2 die size is like a Luxeon1, and not huge like a LuxeonIII, but yet can take 700ma or more right? Should equal out close to same lumens or a litttle less, but with good throw.

Jillite is a CR2 light with HAIII. The DD version runs off of a li-ion I think... The K2 is the next yet-to-be-released luxeon from Lumileds. The flupic is a programable type of circuit with some special features probably like dim or flash. I can't remember.

If I read it right, for offer is just the sandwich, not the complete Jil lite.

Thanks for the clarification, Isaac. I'll pass on this since I'd like just the plain Q3 with an amber/yellow LED.

:candle:

I have a Q3 with glass lens, a lux 1 amber led and a POP module in the Q3. Not really willing to part with this but will do so if the price is right. :D

With a $14 led, I'm asking $50
With a less expensive led, I can do a lower price.
Let me see if I can find an amber star somewhere.


Edit..
I posted a thread in the Buy section of the Lights forum to see if I can get one that way.

Stay tuned....

Asking $50 for which light...a modded Q3? Is that with a 1W or 3W?
Is it in new condition?

New condition Q3 and holster, with a 3 watt amber, dismounted from it's crappy oem star, remounted to an electrically isolated Luxeon1 star.
This one will be direct drive off a cr123 primary at around 700-1000 milliamps.

If I add a 2 watt resistor of about .47 ohms, it should be ok with r123's.
I just test fitted a 2 watt resistor, and it fits where the Q3's boost electronics used to. :p
The bad news would be that it wont be as bright with a primary 3 volt cell.
But, if you want it less bright with runtime for any reason, then just swap out the batteries. ;)
