First off, I'd like to thank tvodrd for opening up a KL1 head and providing me with a reflector as I hate the optics!
I got the head from him and right away, desoldered the board and yanked out the led.
I put my FLuPIC board inside with a diode to drop 0.4V and a UX1N emitter inside so it will work well with the 6-0.4V input voltage of 2 x CR123s.
The results have yet to be compared (when night falls)
I don't have lux meters or anything like that but I get the following current readings from my fluke meter:
Low (3/20) - 70ma
High (15/20) - 500ma
BURST (2 x TPS73601) - 1.4A
I can tell this is going to be a screamer already!!
