during threading the tube, the lathe slide went blocked from a gear :mad:
After 2 weeks waiting for the replacment gear, I found the right positon and could finish the thread :p

Now I can adjust with a pliers the exact position for the led.
The output is greater than I thought.

Partlist:
-Lux V WY0S
-modified McR 27-L
-Downboy 917
-2 x AW's 18500 1500mAh
-new switch contact

I agree the Lux V does have a lot to offer, particularly some of the low vf WxxS's. I have one in an ArcMania tower module and it is bright, with great spill. My KL5 is a real workhorse, cool running and bright, but not too bright for close in work. Long live the Lux V.

I have one WY0S left and maybe someday... I will find a smiliar reflector but with a larger diameter :naughty:
The Lux V is a perferct combination with 2 Li-Ion's and a downboy in efficiency and handling.
