@djozz oke i will try and remove the rim… did you get a 26mm board with led on it? Maybe i need to reflow one myself. This will be a challenge lol
Well, finally I got the flashlight, put a xml2 noctigon 20 mm, dedomed, and driver blf a6, only gave 156,000 cd to 7 meters, with lg h2 …… I expected a little more …, greetings!
, Had not done bypass in the tail and improve a little the adjustment of the center, now more than 198,000 CD, not bad, I think …
They have this light on sale right now at AE for $15.67 for the next 2 hrs it says on site, SupwildFire CREE XM-L2 U3
I just modded mine. I went with xpl hi on 26mm maxtoarch board. I put a thin gasket type spacer between the reflector and the mcpcb. The hot spot is still pretty big. Bigger then c8 with xpl hi. What can i do to make the hotspot smaller?
I just tried my hand at one of these today. The host itself seems kinda “meh” but it did seem to have an actual XM-L2 in it and a beefy Omten switch.
My approach was something similar to what L.I. tried: stacking mcpcbs and opening up the reflector to accommodate them. But instead of using two 16mm boards, I stacked a 10mm onto a 16mm and soldered them together. LED is a dedomed newer XP-G2 S4 2B. Driver is a BLF A6 FET+1.
I really need to take it outside and try it. Inside the house it appears slightly tighter than a XP-L HI C8, but certainly not awe inspiring. I might have to fiddle with it some more.
I’m not so sure the 10mm board was a good idea. The lead wires slightly affect the beam.
Lastly, I don’t recommend using a pencil torch such as this for reflowing by applying flame directly under the mcpcb. That solder paste flowed in about 1 second and quickly cooked the top board to boot. Oops.
Nice idea. But I think it protrudes to much into reflector which may result in wider beam. So try to lift reflector a bit by putting tight and larger diameter o ring under reflector upper base or lip.
If you think it is good centered make “1 meter white wall recheck test”. For best lux performance beam should not have donat hole in the middle of the beam at that distance. Since I learned that on mine mistakes 
Now every Mitko’s thrower go well over 320-340kcd with good old g2s42b.
The led should be further away? I used a spacer that is like 0.5 mm and te beam is pretty wide. Should i put a spacer in there that is like 1 mm? Or remove a part of the reflector…
@djozz i got a crappy wide beam. If i dont use a spacer between reflector and mcpcb the beam is still to wide for what i think it should be. Do you know what i can do? I used an 26mm mcpcb with xpl hi.

@polarweiss, I don’t know what is different in your build, are you sure that the reflector is not prevented to get close enough to the board by some obstruction? And that the led is centered precise enough?
At least in my two builds (Black Flat and dedomed XP-G2), the reflector at less than 0.5mm to the board gave a well focused led.
Finally I received this light to play with (first order got lost). I haven’t made much pictures of the build only the two below.
I sanded down the pill rim and in the center of the pil I added a sanded down noctigon. On top I placed the maxtoch mcpcb with dd xml2 u4. All glued together with artic silver adhesive.
Took a while to get the focus right, but it has a real nice useful beam now.
Didn’t like the shiny ano, so baked the light on the stove.
That is a nice solution Geuzz! (and a good colour too)
Very nice and light light. It encourages people to step forward into modding art and it is probably best reflector thrower in this reflector size(diameter, depth, single 18650) in a world.
Thnx! It’s a really nice beginners mod light. Does not cost much and very rewarding in the end.
Nice work Geuzzz. :+1:
Did anybody find a good centering gasket? The stock one is crap in my opinion. Or are there any trick center it succesfully? The Reflektor always off-centers on the last steps of tightening. 
No answers? I am planning to build another one of these. Got the first one right, but after a lot of adjusting. A tighter centering ring would help a lot.

Much appreciated. Got one to cut my teeth with modding.
Centering gasket? 
Yes I really tried with it… Ordered from Simon to… But no matter what I tried it did not looked nice to my eyes.
The best you can do for yourself is that you don’t use it at all… This is product of eyeballing:
A bit uneven spill from side to side is product of drilling reflector base with accu drill but the most important thing is perfect hotspot with 300+ kcd
Looks kind a warm towards green? Yeah baby! Because it is good old XP-G2 S4 2B inside :+1:
This is probably only reflector light beside Jacob A60 that I actually like.
Long live the Mitko!
