Had a member from another group contact me about an emitter and driver swap in his Haiku. After some discussion, we settled on doing a completely new light engine built around the components he wanted so he could then have his original light engine as an alternative option.
A brass heatsink was turned/threaded on the lathe followed by some milled slots on the bottom a drilled/tapped set screw for the ground and the holes for the emitter leads.
It took some time to get it just right but the new XP-L Hi behind the stock McR17 reflector throws like crazy and the Mtnelectronics driver pushes the emitter nicely and features the guppydvr firmware.
I spent much more time than planned to get this one perfect and couldn't be happier with the end results.
