A friend has just seen my newly acquired Elektrolumens 5W cyan blaster and was duly impressed! He duly produced a 2D mag torch and compared the rather feeble filament output to the floodlighting capability of the blaster. Shine the Elektrolumens torch at the cieling and you can read newspapers by the reflected light. Not much chance of that with the 2D filament torch!
Now he's asking me to find someone who can mod his torch with a Luxeon (seeing that his torch has an identical head to mine...)
Understanding that you need quite a lot of volts to drive Luxeon technology I think that he would need to go down the spectrum to red, orange or yellow LED colours, assuming that like thier 5mm counterparts these operate on a lower voltage than cyan...
Is it possible to mod a 2D torch to operate 5W Luxeons?
