Here's one I spent quite a few hours on, mostly modifying an aluminum reflector to fit the light.

The goal was to produce a smooth, slightly floody beam, with excellent mixing of tint to minimize Seoul color variations inherent to the emitter. Also optimum heatsinking so that it stays very white through constant running on high output. The result is very successful! :grin2:

Now you can take benefit of the fact I am reducing the size of my collection a few pieces at a time.

Not for sale at this time - Retracted for now.

It's a two-stage light that requires a 3.6V RCR-123 (not included) for full output.

Includes quick-release wrist strap:

I apologize for needing to cut the runtime on low short. It appears it could go for up to 3 hours! I do my data entry manually and can't stick around any longer... :(

Happy Anniversay Paul. Hope it's going great! :rock:

Just wondering, is it possible to run this off a regular CR123, and if so, how much difference in output is it?

Thanx!

On a primary, It's not that bright, but it does run.
