Frisco: I did it, and if you want I could do yours =) heh, heh.
Actually it's pretty simple: on the stock HDS reflector, if you replace the Lux with an SSC, it makes for a wider beam; donut hole out to about 8 inches. If you sand off like a 32nd or 16th of an inch off the back of the reflector, you can dial it in for super tight throw, but instead I bought an LDF lens and bingo - donut hole only out to about 4 inches now, and everything beyond that is very even flood. The middle 1/3 to a 1/2 is still a bit brighter than the rest, which is good for a little reach, but the beam is very floody and even. I like it a LOT. I think it works great for a single EDC; good for area lighting outdoors at night, great for reading indoors, etc.
So, not much of a secret to it =)

Thanks,
rob

No prob fleegs! =)
Here's a description: satin finish 154CM wharncliffe blade, plain edged, with assisted open; faux black horn scales, with a shiny bolster and shiny SS polished clip. The assisted open can be turned off with one simple step. Looks very snazzy; I bought it as a 'dress' knife but realized my other knife is fine for this duty =)
Lmk!

Interesting. I left my reflector alone and shimmed the LED so that the beam is virtually identical to the stock LED, but over twice the brightness

Cool. Which generation light do you have?
Back when we started off the SSC HDS modding, everyone seemed to be sanding off the back of the reflector to get a super tight hotspot. Did you shim by placing a copper disc beneath the LED? Effectively that may have done the same =)
Awesome, Rob! =) I'll be able to mail the knife out to you Monday. PM inbound w/ address, send me yours too =)
