Good job !!!, what centering used for xpg2? regards!!
I used these from Banggood: 5 StĆ¼ck Konvoi XPL Isolationsblatt fĆ¼r 9-mm-Reflektorloch Sale - Banggood Deutschland sold out-arrival notice-arrival notice , they are too large so I reamed the hole in the reflector to exactly fit the center piece.
Very nice mod djozz 
That beam tint looks like my old maglite magcharger 
Nice modd Djozz but no freaking chance that old XP-G2 S3 3D throws same or better than mine good old XP-G2 S4 2B. I would bet with anyone any day for that statement.
Since you are so far away I guess I will have to send mine Mitkoās thrower to you for proper measuring. Cause that cheapo we both have even with your mentioned 11,4% add on measurement gives same numbers as yours on fully charged Samsung inr 30Q.
And BTW all my pictures disappeared from forum. Fā¦ā¦g Photobucket!
Sorry about your pictures, Iām lucky to always have used flickr, until of course they will start charging as well 
About the mod doing the same numbers as your S4 2B: I did do everything very right, including the focus :innocent: :partying_face:
And now I am really depressed and pissed off. All my pictures disappeared. :person_facepalming:
Djozz I have to buy that expensive lux meter like yours to be 100 % sure in my measurements.
Where I can buy it?
P.S.
I donāt even doubt that you gave your best in that awesome mod :+1:
Edit:
One more editā¦ This is popular thread and I know that Mitko will not beat me
Photobucket pics disappeared to everyone. Thread is here Photobucket images broken, $399 a year!
I guess we need some computer programing expert to help us (if that is possible?)
I bought mine secondhand for 450 euro, it is a Mobilux meter, in fact a class B Gossen meter with a custom class A sensor. New it is 1200 euro. Strangely enough it is made in Germany but I can only find a dutch seller: http://www.lichtconsult.nl/product/mobilux/
The Gossen class B luxmeter with class B sensor is somewhat cheaper but still well over 500 euro.
Are you sure you want to buy it new? :person_facepalming:
Ufffā¦ Frankly speaking it is very expensive. I can buy good hunting rifle for that price.
Anything with that kind of sensor on other makes of lux meters for more friendly price?
luminarium iaculator
I`d strongly recommend Asensetek lighting passport m8, i use it for over 4 years not, 2 different models and its not only a luxmeter but spectrometer too, check it out
āmade in Germany ā is not what it`s used to beā¦.believe or not i do prefer some local OEM hunting stuff that Blazer or Zig original parts, Germany dropped the quality great time, prolly cause of Chinaā¦or corporate greeed, or both.
Like Gekkoā¦ā¦and i liked it before they nuke the quality, especialy Target and Plus
Maybe you will get lucky on eBay, but I wouldnāt count on it. The filter is the important part. It has to closely match the ācolor sensitivityā of the human eye.
Mitko has this one: http://www.lightingpassport.com/
Djozz this one: http://www.lichtconsult.nl/product/mobilux/
Their main characteristic is 1000euro!
What would be nice to see is that Mitko and Djozz compare their luxmeters on same host. Mitkoās super thrower light.
Those Supwildfire factory should praise you Mitko with at least 10-20 free hosts.
Comparing lux meters with one host will not reveal the differences, you will have compare them with all sorts of light sources to see what differences there are.
But my luxmeter does only one thing (though very well), Mitkoās device is way more versatile and given that it measures spectra (which is fundamentally different from a normal luxmeter) with the right calibration (!) it will do lux measurements very well too.
(Iād love to have one of those, Mitko, but really canāt justify that for what for me is a hobby)
Nice mod djozz. I admire your way of cutting of the lip on the pill. If I tried that it would have ended in tears.
Thanks!
Twenty years ago I bought, for a lot of money I thought, a small Proxxon band saw. It is mostly plastic but the essential parts were apparently well-made because it helt up for all those years and it has proven immensely useful and time-saving in many little projects.
But for who does not have that luxury: a hack saw should do the job as well.
I just got mine in and it looks pretty good and it works 
If i cut of the rim of the pill how do i screw it back in the flashlight?
I did all in this exact order:
-insert the driver in the pill and fix it with the retaining ring
-apply thermal paste on the (flat) top of the pill
-screw the pill in the head from above so that the flat top is 1mm above the flat bit inside the head surrounding it
-screw the battery tube in the head, against the pill, screw very tight, which is both fixing the tube and the pil in position
-position the ledboard on top of the pill
-solder the ledwires to the ledboard
-add centering piece, reflector and glass, close the bezel
-hope for perfect focus and centering
Thanks for your reply djozz! Im also from amsterdam 
You didnt take of the rim? At this point i want a big mcpcb like 25 mm with a xpl hi on it and put it on the pill without rim. What kind of mcpcb did you use?
maxtoch 26mm or manker 28mm
the manker one is easier to find
I did remove the rim, as described in post #446 above, but did not mention it because the question was about screwing the pil back in. And I used the 26mm board.
I live in the āIndische buurtā btw, in Amsterdam it never gets dark enough to need a flashlight

This is how my best Mitkoās thrower looks like(over 320kcd) :
