Hello all! Love this forum! Need some guidance......
So I finally got all my parts together to build a couple of mag mods.... One XML AWT and one Xre-r2.
Aluminum heat sinks and 3 amp driver to XML and 1.2 amp driver for the r2.
Hooked them all up used the 2 part artic silver paste. The problem is that they seem to have a blue tint to them, moreso on the r2 and I don't know if it's from any heat damage from my rookie soldering skills :shrug: or if they are just slightly blue. I would post some beams but I am out of town and on my iPad with a crappy camera.
How could I tell if I ruined the LEDs? Is angry blue just a phase before the POOF or can they maintain an angry blue color for a while? The r2 with the cheap 50" aspheric out throws a hs802 I had lying around..... If I haven't figured it out by the time I get back I will post a couple of picks to show the beams. Future thanks to any tips or advice!
I figure I will post pictures of the mags when I'm completely done and if anyone has a question on items I used let me know!
