This is purportedly a "3W Luxeon", but it's not.
It's a two-cell CR123 body, very well-made with a nice clicky. The star is not marked at all, but the emitter is very bright. The reflector looks parabolic, and throw is excellent. The emitter is fed through a 3.4 ohm resistor via an unpopulated and unmarked circuit board.
I would like to install a WYOS in there, but don't know if it will operate direct drive without some sort of current limiting, and if so, what value resistor should replace the existing one.
Even better, is there any sort of "intelligence" I can buy to replace the existing circuit board between the star and the cells? I'd like some combination of regulation, variable intensity, etc.
Thanks,
Henry
