My 1st. I'm working on the x1 Cree mod that Vacuum3d posted and am still experimenting with the optic and mounting. Meanwhile, I got impatient and put one of the Cree UVs in a Dorcy. It was a first for me and I developed a lot of respect for what you all have been doing with all this small stuff. It's like building a ship in a bottle. Nonetheless, while it isn't much, it's mine. It seems a bit under powered though. Still have to work on that part.

Nice job!

How does the reflector fit around the square Cree? It seems to be rather tight to the Luxeon.

There was a CPF Cree group buy recently and I jumped in. Great chip for someone who knows what their doing. Some day I hope to be one. As to the fit, there is space around it, but I pulled the Luxeon and cut a new mount from the included heat sink. It's tough to evaluate the beam shot because I need to work on getting more power to it. I'll try to post another picture with the reflector.
