Sold/Expired Cree XR-E mod for McLux PD

I did it! Cree XR-E P3 WC in a McLux PD!! It's so much brighter!!
I'm confident enough to offer it as a mod here: XRE PD mod

It uses the same mcR-20 reflector but slightly modded.
No modding to the head.

**PICTURE UPDATE**

Thanks for steven at tacticalsupply.com for lending me his McLux PD TYOJ Wiz2x2.

Ignore the bystander to the right





Left: PD modified with Cree XR-E
Right: stock PD with TYOJ
Set to Low - multiple exposure levels

Interesting!
So you are modding the reflector and exchange the LED without affecting the rest of the light then?

How about McLux-T and Ti-PD lights?
And Lights with Joker reflectors?

Low and high? Is low real bright too?

The first obvious question is going to have to be, how about some more info. Pics,runtime,beam-pattern. You've got me hanging on the edge of my seat.

Yep, they are both higher. I only have one PD so I can't do comparison
shots. Unless someone wants to loan me one My PD has the new GDx2.

no picts yet. I'm too beat for tonight. Maybe tommorrow.
Runtime should be the same, if not better. The XR-E tend to have a lower
Vf.

Will this have the hotter and smaller spot and wider corona you mentioned in your previous mod thread about the McR-20? Meaning a beam mroe similar to a LuxIII in a McR-27 than the beam profile of the original PD?

2050 at 1m But that doesn't do justice. the spot is bigger and
there is so much more flood. In candle mode, it lights up the room like
a Lux V!

Hot spot is wider, but it's very round and intense. Actually the profile
is identical to the A2 XRE mod. I have beamshots there!

I destroyed my UWOJ to upgrade, but it was really worth it!

My PD is a different light now!

I'm going to trust your judgement here 4sevens and send my PD for tweaking before the waiting list gets obscene. PM and Paypal away! :rock:

Any plans to do this to an HD45? :naughty:

Of course it's yours!
But know there is risk involved in the hd45 because I haven't done it yet.
worse case, you'll need another reflector and lux III.

This sounds amazing and I'm seriously contemplating parting with my PD for this. Will this service be open to International buyers as well?

Great work!
