Hey guys,

I just put together an Aleph I head. The light engine is a VXOS 5W/BadBoy750 combo. The tint is nice and white. It also looks as bright as any of the W bin lights that I've built recently.

I have also turned a spacer for the head out of brass. This spacer fits between the LE and the head and insures a hole-less beam.

I'm asking $155 for this head to include USPS Priority shipping in the CONUS. Global Priority is an extra $5.

If you want it, post with an I'll take it and PM me for payment details.

Thanks,

Re: FS - Aleph I head only

I've used BB equipped lights with Pilas and haven't had any trouble, but a couple of people have said that using Pilas killed their light engine.

I can tell you though, the S Vf is really low, so the converter won't have to work as hard as it usually does to boost the voltage from the Pila to run the luxeon.

Lemme go throw a Pila in this thing and see. I'll be back.

Well, I ran it for 20 minutes or so and it ran fine. It was drawing 1.8A from the Pila which is a bit more than it was drawing from the 2X123 which were in the light. It was drawing 1.6A from those, but they weren't fresh cells.

The light got hot, naturally, so I shut it down.

Would you part it out?
I might be interested in the LE to go in my Aelph...

BLG,

Sure, that's no problem. Like I've always said. If you need something, just ask.

The price is $120 for the LE, shipped by Priority mail.

If you want the A1 head alone, you can get one from Wayne at the Sandwiche Shoppe.
