Hi all, I trying to mod my maglite with single luxeon V, but I'm still deciding which type of luxeon V I should use. Since I saw many mag mod with high dome, have anyone tried mod a mag with luxeon side emitter?

Yes, side emitters have been used in Mag mods. I believe they were designed for use with reflectors in mind. Depending on the reflector, a wide range of flood to spot can be achieved.

Here is a link to photos of my Mag 2AAA side emitter mod.

But search around, there ought to be many threads about this.

to me ist seems, that SE and LD do not really work.

High Dome give best results (my feeling)
