RETRACTED: 2 homemade 5W \"Mc Modules\" for PM6...
...when I say homemade, it's really that! I didn't have the funds for real McModules to mod with, so I took 2 stock Pelican M6 lamp assemblies and turned them into ready-to-screw-on, McModule-wannabes. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
I only had a Dremel to bore, drill and fit the converter, etc.. and I also lack the craftsmanship other modders display on the forums /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif, so these 2 modules are far from pretty-looking, but I've been carrying my PM6 every night and switching between these 2 configs and I guarantee you they work nicely!
I'm only parting with these because I managed to get some W bin 5W from Endeavour's last group buy, so I can now upgrade...
2 configurations available:
- 5W UVOT with Badboy 1200mA. This one is a bit on the warm side with a slight pink/red tint; pretty white to me though, only noticeable if I compare to the other module.
Low T Vf makes it a winner if you plan on running it on 2x CR123s (or 1 LiIon cell like I did /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif)
Click here for a beamshot comparison between an L4 (on the left) and the PM6 UVOT/BB1200 with Pelican Reflector (on the right).
- 5W V3V with Badboy 1167mA . This one is really white, one of my "benchmark white" when I need to compare Luxeon tints. The high V Vf though makes it a little trickier to run, that is if you are seeking a long runtime (I'm silly, who doesn't?? ): I originally built this one to run on 2 LiIon cells, which peaked charged initially deliver a voltage a bit above Vf, so it starts off direct drive for 5min or so and then is regulated for a loooong time!
Most people use CR123s, so you would need to get an A20 Surefire extension to run this module off of 3x CR123s to simulate that. This would easily give you over an hour runtime as well, but probably without the initial direct drive brightness kick as with the LiIons (I believe 3XCR123s intial voltage wouldn't be above this Led Vf). Off of 2x CR123s, runtime is rather poor with this module, IIRC topping at a bit over 30min... Beamshot between L4 (on the left) and this module (on the right) is here.
This particular L4 I used was the brightest I've seen so far, but with a tint on the blue side. Beamshots were way under exposed and show hotspots quality and led tints, but keep in mind both the L4 and the PR have also a lot of sidespill the pic doesn't show! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I can take more pics if you are interested.
I'm asking for $50.00 per module, with additional $15.00 if you need my like-new Surefire A20 adapter.
Prices include USPS Priority Mail CONUS, I would send international for additional fees. Paypal is preferred of course, but I can take USPS Money Order or personal check, etc...
Please PM or e-mail me at the address in my profile.
