Making a light for the XHP 70 and the 95mm faceted reflector LUM 5-90. 103500 lux @ 1 meter. Beam Shots are up.

Like the way this is headed already. :)

Good ol “soup pot” method. :bigsmile: (You know how some guys use a soup pot for the big HID sized reflectors, haha)

Looking very nice O-L!

More photos in the OP.

What can I say? I'll put my order in now before everyone else does. Orsm effort so far.

The light is finished, Photos in the OP. I do not think I am going to blacken the Aluminum. I think I will just use Mothers on it and leave it as is. I will do beam shots tonight or tomorrow night, inside the plant and maybe on top, going for the bank again.

I like it!

Take my money please! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Now that is cool!! As always, very creative and brilliant work.

Thanks,

If anyone really does want one, either in brushed aluminum, or in black, send me a PM. I still have 4 reflectors and I know how to do them now.

Might wait for beam shots tonight though.

Wow, this is amazing.

I have the DX SST-90 Reflector(73mm) in 2 Maglite builds and I get 103k~105K lux with MTG2 at 6A (8.4V input).

So, you mastered more output with that XHP70 yet still crank out over 100K lux…. :open_mouth:

What an effort. l've just watched your video and loved every second of it. Even the back ground music had garage all over it. Was It MC Hammer? The mods to the driver board for the battery configuration was really good info. It gives me an idea for another light mod I've been stuck on.

Anyone thinking of getting a custom OL light the offers been made and what a light it would be. Now if I could only win the lottery as the good wife refuses to get a forth job.

Thanks Justin. Simply amazing.

Very nice, as usual, OL. Question - have you tried a dedomed xhp-70 in any of you builds?

Great build, can’t wait for the beam shots.

great build as ever!

There was a few posts on this somewhere. I don't think it was successful.

James3 did succeed with a XHP dedome :slight_smile: with the XHP50 at least, first a quick slice to take of most of the dome then a quick dunk in gas.

check out his thread about it

Beam shots are in the OP now.

No, I have not. I go as far as slicing the domes on any leds, but I do not de-dome with gasoline. I have been 100% unsuccessful in that and have never liked the results.

Old Lumens, do you have 1-2 of those reflectors you’d like to get rid of? I’d like to do a couple of maglite builds but not sure I need 5. If not I’ll just order the 5 and figure out something to do with them. :wink:

At the moment, I don’t know. If people want one made, I won’t have any left. I also want to make one for myself, for work, so right now I would have to say I will not have any left.
