***Updated 3/1/3 with beam shots - see end of post...
I received a RS 3C torch from a CPFer to modify. Anyhow I finished it off yesterday & took some pics. Basically it's a 1W Luxeon SE mounted to a copper slug that drops in place of the original bulb - no other mods to the torch. Runs direct drive.
The slug and the insulated base:
Closeup of slug and insulated base:
Insulated base test fit on bottom of slug:
Wire soldered to base and 'threaded' through the slug:
Ground wire soldered to slug - takes quite a bit of heat!
SE glued on to slug - ready for soldering connections:
Completed 'bulb' ready to go:
LED 'bulb' installed in torch, just drops in:
Head screwed on - all ready to 'fire' up...
Some beam shots:
First one is with the camera flash firing:
Next one without the flash:
Beam from about 5' from the door:
