That's a mammoth heatsink. And an aspherical- this is gonna be good.....

Ty brdo! Now that's a clean mod, looks awesome! This is the flashlight I needed when I met wolves in a Slovak forest at night :D

Great mod! Just wondering, did you buy the Maglite itself online or in a store? I've never seen a 5D in stores.:thinking:

Oh.... Thought I was gonna be the first with a -360 light. :mecry: (My CSM-360 is supposed to arrive today, the host is waiting, going heatsink shopping over the next day or so...)

But kudos to you, Pepko! Can't wait for beamshots.

Questions:
  • Why the CBM-360 vs. CSM-360? (The beam profile plots looked identical to me...)
  • What driver/battery setup you using? (5D suggests 4xIMR26650, maybe?)
  • What current/power you plan to run?
  • How do you plan to turn it off when the heatsink is heating the area around the switch so hot you can't hold on to it? :nana:

I was a little unsure how useful an aspheric (or indeed, anything that fits in a Mag head) will be with this size of LED, which (along with sleeper factor and ease of cooling) influenced my choice to build it in a 6V lantern. Can't wait for beamshots to see how yours works out... :popcorn:

Oh, and did I mention beamshots... :poke:

Another great flashlight mod, pepko!,
The light output is sweet.

Re: Red Maglite 5D@Luminus CBM-360 4500K neutral white 5000 lumen aspheric

thanks for your comments ...

i added beamshots in second post ... spot is useless, but the flood is very powerful ...

current is only 5.8A ... so it's about 78W ...

i would like to reach 100W, but I have to try on another battery setup ...

for example, 5x 25500 C LiIon from DX ... or 5x IMR 25500 ...

i need higher voltage from battery ...

Wow! I am speechless. I think we need beamshots from a longer distance.

Awesome.

Two things:

First: Where exactly one can get a neutral 360?
Second: even with only 80W the heatsink is not enough. After a few minutes it will be warm and only the surface of the tube can emit heat to the air.
I wonder if longitutinal airflow using a small fan would work in a maglight host. One would lose the waterproofing, but you could suck in air from the back, past the batteries and right through the copper slug...

:faint: "Very powerful" doesn't begin to describe it.

current is only 5.8A ... so it's about 78W ...

for example, 5x 25500 C LiIon from DX ... or 5x IMR 25500 ...

Is this direct-drive, then? I'd think the lower resistance from IMR26650s might be the ticket... 5ximr26500 (AFAIK there are no IMR25500) scares me, but maybe it'll take it.

And how hot does the heatsink get when it's running? At 0.9 K/W, I'd guess you need to keep the face of the heatsink below 65 C for 100W; at least that's what I've been figuring...

Good work :wave:

Is it bright enough or still looking for something more powerful? :D

Re: Red Maglite 5D@Luminus CBM-360 4500K neutral white 5000 lumen aspheric

I use CBM-360 instead of CSM-360 because it is smaller and it has no lens. I read a lot of negative comments about damage lens on luminus phlatlight sst-90 or sst-50.

But CBM has lower light output as CSM in datasheet. I don't know why ...

I bought my CBM-360 through local (czech) distributor EBV.

Maglite 5D was bought on Ebay.

My cooper heatsink is good. It should be bigger, after few minutes the body is really hot. But I have low mode with 4ohm resistor and about 900mA current draw.

Light output on high mode is really great, but nothing is good enough for me, so still looking for something more powerful ... although my wife would kill me for this ...

What a great project. On the second point - sounds familiar. :D

I know you prob have seen posts here that have seen people lathe the Mag head so its finned.

But also I have considered cutting into the body of the mag light below the head and into the heatsink to give additional finned ability to radiate away heat.

Viable option when doing a self mod using a copper/Aluminium slug for the heatsink having as much surface area as possible to get that heat away and also keep any excess from the batteries and obviously your hand lol.

I have a SSR90 mag build in progress but my lathe has gone on the blink :( but hopefully will lead into other builds if the heat is low enough at the front end on the 360 led might be an option there for a filter disk after the LED and before the KD AS lens to blur out the 4 dies into a nicer round spot without impacting too much on light output.
