ive developed this light obsession bla bla bla
anyway ive purchaced 2 flashlights
a fenix L1P - a general replacement for minimag incan
a j&l / ultra fire cr2
well the story goes im also making a mr11 incan light for my bike all home fab
then the j&l arived and i was impressed with the light and also how cool the case looks... a lot nicer than my dodgy bit of ally tube with an mr11 stuffed in
so i was wondering...
could i put a genuine luxeon in there like a lux v or a III
and run a wire into it (eg loose the cr2) then power it from external batteries
ok im not looking for a physical reason why not
so i need to know....
the current "engine" is probably some none generic thing - can i desolder the actual emmitter and replace it with a higher power model - will it fit and will it work?
will this cause heat problems?
what voltage do i need to run the lux at its optimum without ruining it?
can i do all this with a normal electric soldering iron?
most of the terminology etc i have picked up from cpf but i really am a total beginner with only limited electrical knowledge
(I have completely dismanteled the light just to check the engine is removable etc and it is)
thanks
