You can use a McLux-PR without a driver, or you could go with an E-can and modify the E2 head.

Love your mods Don!
I`m not that familar with the Mclux (just seen pictures) or Mc-anything else. I hate to say but, I just have not kept up with your custom lights that well.
Please, enlighten me, cause I`m in the dark and all my lights combined are no help!

Thanks
Eric

Kiessling, Already have looked at his link.

Don, What is a Mclux-pr and an E-can? Didn`t see anything about that unless I overlooked it.

The McLux PR is a McLux head with a modified Pelican reflector. You can buy them at the sandwich shop once it's back up.

it'll fit the e2e body without any modifications.

The E-can is basically a converter holder that fits inside the body of the Ex series lights. You need to buy/make a heatsink that then fits into the E-can on one side and the modified bezel on the other.

Here's a 1W mod I did with Don's help. 5W is essentially the same.

The McLux PR can best be described as The Turbohead for the E series. The Pelican reflector does a kick *** job of focusing the light from either the 1W or 5W LED's. I have one (soon to be two /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif) and it does a much better job than the reflector in the KL4. Couple it to a 1W and you get something with a very tight beam but still enough sidespill to make it useful for general purposes. If you don't have one, you gotta try it, you'll like it. It's a DIY but you may be able to sweet talk some of us around here into building you one.

OK who do I send my E2(an payment for mod) too,to make me a 5w dirrectdrive side emiter with a E-can or possibley w/BB500 if it doesn`t get to hot for extended periods.
Which is better as far as runtime ?

I just want it to be as good or better than the bulb!

If you are speaking in terms of an intense and concentrated beam, it's not going to happen.
