Here are some pictures of my UV & IR Elly mods.
Because the new LEDs are higher, the heads had to be unscrewed more than originally intended. So I added two O-Rings for each Elly and some Teflon.
I also added some Arctic Silver 5 under the stars.
UV Elly
This Emitter:

soldered and glued with Arctic Alumina to this star:

Beam shots from approx 2 meters:
Beam shot from approx 4 meters:
* All the strange colors only appear on camera, in real life it looks just like regular UV.
IR Elly
This Emitter:

that should have come on a 20mm round board but lucky for me came on a star.
Elly lense with a cutdown developed over exposed film to minimize LED visibility:
LED visibility when flashlight is on:
* On camera the LED turned out purple, in real life it is dark red and much less visible.
