Any lux low dome fans still around?

geepondy · Jul 20, 2005

I had one of my original KL1's modded with a Lux III but still use the other, mated with an E1 body, quite often. I love the area light it gives and certainly "throws" far enough to be a nice walking light. I am hoping that maybe lights will develope using the newer Nichia LEDs (CS) that will provide a similar type of beam but with greater efficiency or do such lights exist already?

I was very fond of the LD for a long time. That ended, however, when Don came up with his McR-20 in the Aleph2 and now McLuxIII-PD as this reflector can produce a nice concentrated beam for close and medium ranges with the great tint of the LuxIII.

I'm still very happy with my Arc LSL. Haven't really had much need for more throw.

Pairing a LD with a 25 degree lens (or 6x25 lens) makes a very effective flood for camping or working (fixing something) at night. It doen't need repositioning like a tight spot does. The holders allow swapping lenses in and out possible.

I've still got a low dome I scavenged from a ALX-1113 light. It was fairly bright, but rather green. (Q1, maybe?) I put it in a Dorcy 1AA body with the stock convertor, so it's driven fairly lightly. Paired with an NX-05 optic it still makes a half decent light for walking around the house at night. It runs for a good while off a AA, too.

I like my Arc LSL. I also have been playing with a couple of LD in some Infinity mods; they work great!

I wish there was a LD LUXIII. My favorite beam combination is from a 1W LD and the EL 30mm optics.

I'm still a fan of LD emitters, especially since I still build lights with optics.

You don't always need an 80+ lumen poke in the eye. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

The LD is a LOT more forgiving with optics.

some of my favorite lights are ARC LS first run with low dome and NX-01
