UX1K on moddified D O-Sink with Wizzard2 917ma potted in the rear.
Comes with red/black teflon wires stripped and pre-tinned.
3.6v - 6v input. (no lower than 3.6volts to stay in regulation.) Works great for 3-4 cells of NiMH or 3 cells of Alkaline. (4 fresh alkalines may exceed the 6v max input...)
Ready to go, just solder your wires to your cut down mag switch, solder them to the wires on this, (dont forget some heat shrink to insulate the solder connection!), put some thermal grease around the o-sink, and slide into your mag. Only other thing is to cut the cam off the back of your reflector.

Details:
I bought a couple of X1 tinted U-bins. Unsure if they would be greenies I got each from a different batch. Neither ended up being green. I built 2 of these setups, one I kept & currently using, this one is for sale. The emitter is a round slug, so the o-sink was modified to fit the luxeon slug so it sets down flat all the way into the heatsink.
Tint: This UX1K is a tiny bit on the warm/cream side. No green at all. It still is whiter looking than a cold white florecent lightbulb if that helps put it in perspective.
Flux: Compared to my other u-bin this one didn't seem as bright. But it seemed brighter than a UW0J. This was by eyeballing and not with a light meter so the different tints could be throwing me off. Just disclosing this incase it's an under-achiever Ubin. But it could be my other is an over-acheiver. One could go nuts thinking about this!
Note: This one seemed to have some blueish artifacts in the beam's corona w/ the mag reflector. Not sure if this is typical or not but my tri-TX0K mag exhibits the same thing in 2 out of 3 of the luxeons using 20mm reflectors.
Just thought I'd disclose all the little details as best I could for the white wall hunters!
$65 shipped in the US. This is below what I paid in parts. First to say "I'll take it" in the thread gets it. I will then PM with PP details.
Thanks! -IH :wave:
