I'm in the process of building two separate D cell Mag Light mods. One is a 2D/3C with a single LS/o, the other is a 3D with three LS/o's (Hydra!).
I've decided to mount the heatsink in the flashlight head for both of these mods since this will permit me to interchange heads (1-LS or 3) back and forth between the different size flashlight bodies.
I thought this was a good idea and I haven't heard anyone mention it yet. But then again, how many folks own multiple Luxeon modded Mag lights with different quantities of emitters?
Mounting the Luxeons to the heatsink up in the flashlight head places the collumator right up against the back of the lens - which is OK with me. The single LS will use a trimmed out reflector to hide the potting. The 3 LS/o mod won't be fitted with a reflector.
So here's my question(s), I've been thinking about mixing "glow powder" up with some slow-cure clear epoxy and using that to pot up the rest of the space in the head (over the top of my thermal potting). Has anyone tried mixing glow powder and clear epoxy? If so what was your results? Does anyone know of a source for glow powder? Thanks!
