Hi can anyone give me some direction for this? I want a green super thrower. My host is a surefire 952 that take p 60 bulbs. I am a machinist and have access to a lathes and mills. LED suggestions and battery suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks - A

Erm, get a green LED and a smooth reflector appropriate for that diode, or use an aspheric lens with the LED at its focal point. Get the largest diameter of each you can manage, and ensure good thermal contact from the LED module to the body. Finally, pick a reasonable drive current.

Not many people make a good cyan anymore, but I think Cree makes green XP-Es.

Go find Nailbender and ask him to build you one ($30 or so?)
Click here, and ask for a green (XP-E or XR-E)

Or start gathering parts, tools, and know-how.
