I”m interested in a LED, driver, and centering ring “upgrade” kit.
I really like my Emisars, but think the throw difference from the D1 to the D1S should be greater.
This would fix that!

Hey Hank, I really like how you jump on the latest greatest thrower LED. It can really make your products so much better than what you’ve shown is a good example.
But please let me join others with the question:
Is the driver going to be regulated?
Many of BLFers are savvy enough to use only weak cells with FET+white flate combo. But we’re an exception….you could artificially increase resistance in your host, but that would be a hack rather than a solution.
Thanks a lot for the info.
I wanted to do the same to mine.
GT Mini, D1…some good lights that turn out to have too poor reflectors for that LED.
And actually both have been my white flat candidates. 
It may not be so simple….
That’s how thickly anodized undyed alu looks like:
That’s a different alloy and different thickness, but how thin would ano have to be to produce practically no colour change?
Hanks has said a few times that it would be limited to 5 amps. Hank, if you haven’t already put this info in the OP, that may help out.
Definitely interested!
I guess (or I hope), it could be even used as a star pointing beam for astronomers (backup for the banned green lasers).
Absolutely getting it if made a reality!
Already have a D1S but two is one and one is none. Definitely interested.
We’ll find out when he’s ready to tell everyone. He doesn’t like to reveal things very far in advance.
Interested
any specs regarding lumens?
Its in the titel of this thread: 850lm
Verry interested!
Agro, I have lights that this is successfully done on… wouldn’t have asked if it weren’t possible. Heck, I’ve done it to parts myself. 
interested
Good to know.
I believe we asked several manufacturers to do that already and nobody agreed. 
Any idea why is it so?
Interested.
I’ll get one for sure.
Vinh from skylumen tested the CSLNM1.TG LED in the D4S and got 3,000 lumen with 126,000cd @turn on, please use this LED in your D4S!
Agro, a lot of the industry doesn’t like change, they’re used to hiding imperfections behind sandblasting. To take the parts straight from the CNC to the ano bath will show the machine marks from the tooling and while some of us like that the industry is afraid it will be seen as ugly or unfinished by the consumer market at large. So on the few occasions we have had success it has been in limited runs. I’m ok with that, a serial numbered limited run of 100, or 300, would be great. If they saw a quick sell out then they might be interested in taking it further, maybe a second run of 500 or 1000, who knows…
Very much interested as well, but also interested in exactly how the 5 amps restriction is implemented. Regulated would give you 5 amps pretty exactly, but using a FET, you can restrict it to 5A max based on the best fully charged cell with adding the right amount of resistance - very different solutions.
Interest intensifies!
