I have a 3AA LED Minimag that I killed the driver on (destroyed the coil.. )
I have an XP-E on a 10mm board lying around, and I'm thinking of doing a DD NiMh/Alkaline mod. I don't know how to go about making a heatsink for it, though. I might just make a plug that I glue/epoxy the LED to, and then mess with figuring out how to get it so I can connect the positive terminal of the battery to the positive lead of the LED.
Are there any other mods I can do? I have access to a Garbage Freight lathe, so I can turn down some aluminum, but no threading capabilities (the one thing I REALLY want!)
The head on mine is fairly long, and has a REALLY deep reflector in it. I'm getting better throw than a D26 module. That may be partly due to the fact that it's a smooth reflector vs the MOP of the D26
