Here are a few mods I've done and am just now getting pics of to put on the forum. Enjoy!
First is a picture of a Maglight with three TWOK emitters with 20mm reflectors on top. It is next to a Green Elektrolumens Blaster III with the 27mm reflector and an aluminum spacer [since the 27mm optic is too shallow and narrow]. It has the resistor removed and a 3 watt LED, though I'm not sure of the bin. Perhaps a SYAK.
Triple TWOK on Mag, then EL Blaster III
Beam shot. EL Blaster III [the Blaster has side spill, it's just being washed out by the three TWOKs], then the Triple TWOK.
Next is a Q-III that had a TWOJ put in. The next photos are all next to the test subject, a Goldengadgets.com light that is running a Q2H [will be the one on the left in all pictures].
These are the flashlights.
The Goldengadgets.com light looks a little 'sissy-fied' next to the 'man-ly' Q-III. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Beam shots. First with the original reflector:
Now with the 20mm reflector:
That outer ring isn't noticable to my eye. I was even surprised to see it in the picture. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif Anyway, it looks like the original reflector produces a smoother beam, but the 20mm optic give extra throw.
That's all my mods. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
