I was very dissapointed with this light and decided to try my luck at a mod.I had a spare low dome emitter and a CR2 cell to start with.I cut the body shorter and used the stock circuit board for power.A little boring with my Dremel tool and it fit the CR2 perfect.A cut down NX-05 for optic and a penny cut down for a heat sink made for a pretty decent little light.The pics show it compared to a few of my favorite lights with a beamshot versus my Arc LSH.The mod is on the left and the Arc on the right.I would love to have done this mod with a High Dome but maybe next time as I had none available.
All in all it performs fairly well and I owe this addiction to all the members here for not warning me long ago..hehe

I was impressed with the output for a low dome.The emitter came from chop who had a few spares from some KL1 mods.I originally wanted to use a reflector however the few I tried did not work very well.
The body does get a little warm after a few minutes but limited use should be fine.It is basically just a fun mod and I will probably never use it much anyway.If I had a lathe and mill I would be dangerous..hehe

excellent...thanks again and I will keep you posted on the outcome of this project.Thinking of trying it with a High Dome or even a 3 watt LED...I need to check the Mah on it as I removed the resistor from the board before using it.I have no idea what kind of power it is putting out.I will check it later and let you all know.
