jdriller and Klaus,
My dog lifting leg inference was meant at poking some fun at a guy who used to hotfoot around here. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I wanted him to know that I put *my* mark one one of his lights. Call me a stinker! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
sidespill,
The light shown is real and functional. I had to face off some of the rear of the reflector to allign the die with the focal point of the reflector. The reflector seats against the metal lip of the LED module. I could have captured a bit more light if I had machined the reflector to drop down into the LED cavity but I wanted a *repeatable* result and was not comfortable using the convex potting surface of my particular sample as a reference point. Further, I don't like the idea of the potting compound being placed in a mechanical compression as this mod applies.
I'm currently enjoying the challenge of modding the tail cap and hopefully I will be successful in getting it to perform in the same manner as a L1/A2 switch. I'll post here later on my success or failure. I think I might do a few of these heads in raw AL and then have them anodized in black to sell here on the forum. They will be pricy so I don't think demand will exceed supply. The tail switch will most definitely be a "one off".
