has anyone here tried the XML-7D reflector from cutter? I have been using the bog-standard and filed-out kit reflectors from Deal Extreme (similar to sku: 3257), and while I quite like the beam (widish spot with lots of flood) there seems to be a fair amount of light lost, and I am not getting the best from my XML emitters. I saw a Scurion cave lamp yesterday and that was a superb performer, although being 10 times the price of my modified miners Oldham it certainly was NOT 10 times the performance, not even twice, and I was only driving my XML at 1A at the time!

I would really like to know where Scurion source their reflectors as the beam was nice and tight.... :)

To be honest I am not even sure the above reflector from cutter would comfortably fit in an oldham headlamp (I haven't yet checked the lamps casing internal dimensions) which is why I am asking here, what compact reflectors are others using for their custom projects?
