Hi guys,
I got a Pelican M6 in trade here on CPF and was impressed with the reflector and mass of Al the light has to offer. It is big and heavy and likely a good host for things that it was never intended for. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I threw in a 1W Q3 LD and a proto wizard board from my friend Wayne. Very nice beam pattern and dispersion. The reflector provides a tight spot that provided me higher readings than the NX05. I tried a 27 mm optic from Fraen as well (it can be made to fit) but the reflector beam was more to my liking. I made a module that threads into the body but since it is likely that mods will be fixed focus, the module needn't even have threads. The head will keep the module in place.
The reflector will require modification; either boring out for a pedestal or removal of the rear face which I did for this mod.
You can see from the head on shot (insert) that the bottom of the reflector is not doing any work so a pedestal could be employed and one could keep the adjustable de-focus feature in tact.
