hey folks. here is my tale. it started as a WTB thread, but got philosophical.
I just got a VG fb2 body (black) and i love it! I have been running a HA E2e w/ MN03.
I would like to enter the realm of the head/light engine arena. the question is, where to start? I have been considering a black A19 head that I could swap UV and luxIII or cree light engines. you hear less about the aleph 1 and 2 heads these days. can they be found for cheaper that the A19? how do they differ, and what do they offer? there are reams of reading on the aleph system. anyone have a link to heads and light engines in particular?
I have also considered making my own head and using an available reflector and window. bottom line, I want an LED head with similar beam characteristics (brightness and throw+flood) as my FF3. what to do?
I like the small form factor of the E2e head, so larger diameter and longer length are detractors. I tried my E2C+Z44 combo and didnt like the handling characteristics...
I dont want to break the bank, but I will spent the time or money it takes to be satisfied. the floor is now open to all suggestions. please contribute your $.02
thanks!
