With all the hype around the 3W emitters, namely TWAKs and such, I just had to try it myself - then I finally got some TWAK stars at a too high price locally in germany.
The other day I modded a OA3D using the stock reflector and some hotlips/rothrandir inspired heatsink driven off 3 D-sized Nimhs - drawing ~ 1.3A and BRIGHT /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
Today I put the old slightly blue/green LD emitter (resistored @ 0.5Ohm) and NX05 off my (t)rusty Brinkmann 3AA and put a TWAK and Fraen LP and 3 2300ma Sanyos Nimhs in there - very nice and bright as well - drawing ~ 1.3A too. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Now the OA2D with 3 C-sized NiMh is next on the list /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
I know, quite boring but I just had to post, at least I didn´t broke anything (yet) in this round /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
