Alas, time to sell my precious. If I weren't hard up for cash right now, I wouldn't be doing this :confused:

Here it is:
- Original run LS20, so runs on primary only (but you get longer runtime than with the newer ones that run primary/rechargeable)
- Smoother and warmer 3mm LEDs - the stock bluish, artifacty ones were replaced with smoother and warmer CS310 C0 bin 3mm's. They are the same output LEDs as in the LS27, but have less flux than the ones in the LS20 - which I actually prefer, because it gives a lower low which I like. Easier on the eyes when in darkness, but still plenty bright enough as a useful low beam.
- Upgraded high-beam LED: replaced with a newer model K2, '200' model I believe. Great warm beam, wider and punchier hotspot. Mod was done very well, no rattle at all and nicely centered LED.
- Boosted high output: the NG driver was modified to boost output from 400 and change, to 750ma - almost double the output. To my eyes, high is now pumping out (thanks to the K2 and the higher drive level) at least 160 lumens.

So, this mod (done by Milkyspit) takes care of two of my previous wishes for the LS20 - warm beams (both low and high), and more output. Voila, problem solved with some wonderful work by Milkyspit!

This is my baby and my really only good light left. But times is hard and it's time to move on =( There are some light wear marks, but it's still in very good condition.

Sorry, no pics.

Sale price includes PayPal and shipping priority. First I'll take it, takes it. $775 $750 $725 and it's yours (the mods cost me a good bit o' cash, as did the light itself - and took a while to get the parts and tuned to perfection. it's pretty much the perfect EDC light in my opinion!)

Sounds like a great mod!:cool:

What modifications, if any, were made to the LS20 reflector to accomodate the Lux K2?

It would be great to see some photos. Perhaps Milky has some photos of the build?

Good luck with your sale :)

:wow: Almost makes me want to send my LS20 to milky for a little modding work!

Sounds really awesome. If you could post a couple of pics, that would be appreciated.

I, for one, would love to see that mod.

Definitely worth the price!:thumbsup:

Sorry about the delayed reply to your q, TB - Milky took off a leetle bit at the back of the reflector, to help focus the K2.

Hey Mcmc,

Would you consider $700. That's the most I could do. It is a beautiful light!

Let me know what you think?

Thanks

Jeff

Also, McGizmo's latest wave thread says that that may have been the last LS20 build for a while...or even possibly ever!

So, snatch this unique LS20 up while ya can =) Open to offers (and trades) as well.
