Modded a Fandyfire SP02 with dedomed XPL V6 1A. This is not the same light as in this thread, but I thought it was appropriate because it’s the same style and has the same reflector.
A little back-story: I was looking for this style light (single 18650, large-ish reflector) before Mitko found the supwildfire, and had bought the Fandyfire. My C8-to-fresnel lens thrower conversion turned out really well, so I converted the SP02 to a fresnel lens thrower (with precollimator lens), shown below. I made a PVC tube extender to hold the 62mm diameter lens and modified the pill to increase the distance between LED and lens to accomodate the long focal length of the lens. With a dedomed XPG2 I got around 320Kcd. This was less than I was expecting/hoping for with the 60mm active diameter of the lens; I think this fresnel lens was just not great. Then, when I was taking beamshots for my 7xC8 high output thrower I decided the beam of my SP02 fresnel light was just too narrow, so I decided to convert it back to its original reflector.
This was made difficult, however, by my prior modifications; I destroyed the original pill (this pill was not great anyway) and I removed the lip in the bezel that holds the lens. So to do the mod I made a new pill from aluminum. To make a lip on the bezel I put JB weld all around the bezel ID where the lip was, then machined a lip out of the JB weld on a lathe. It worked pretty well.
I used a 20mm noctigon MCPCB, and to get around the focus issue with this reflector I made flat and thin contact extenders using some copper tape I had. This worked to flatten the area around the reflector and it could sit close to the MCPCB for good focus. I then covered the contacts with tough adhesive plastic gaskets from mtnelectronics. This reflector has a 10mm opening. XM sized centering rings that come with C8s have an OD of right around 10mm. I filed down the thickness so it didn’t obstruct the LED then glued it down to the MCPCB/gasket.
So, with the dedomed XPL V6 1A and a fully charged 30Q, I measured 243Kcd at 6m at around 20s.
