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

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.

Very nice outcome. This is really a ‘go big or go home’ light.

I’m tempted to do something like this if my $11.99 SRK ever turns up from that ebay deal….

How long is that distance to the far wall again?

Nicely done Justin, thinking outside the box again….Love it!

I didn’t file the reflector to clear the screws in my Olight, merely removed the screws and put the reflector on, then put the screws back in.

The XHP-70 works beautifully in this reflector, I too think it’s just about a perfect beam profile.

Thanks for sharing the build, lot of work there….

WOWY!

There are folks that mod lights... then there are magicians! SO... the way I calculate it is...

1 Fantastic Mod Guy + 1 Super Duper Magician = OLD LUMENS!!!

What creative and perfect work!!!! What a beam!!! Simply Stunning Justin!!!

Dan.

How much will it cost? ;)

271 yards

78 yards

and 30 yards

To buy the stuff and make one, if you have a drill press or can use someone's:

SRK - price varies, but say $30

Aluminum - varies, but from speedymetals, about $10 plus shipping and they ship UPS, so about $12 there - $22

XHP 70 about $15 - $18 from China or more from Mouser because of shipping.

mcpcb about $7

Misc- wire, solder, metal discs, etc, etc, etc. $5

Reflector - they only ship 5, so that's the hard part. About $45 for five.

So, it ain't cheap, but modding never is. If you can get just one reflector, then about $85-$95.

If I make one - $150 plus shipping.

Thanks everyone for viewing the mod and for the kind words.

I have been thinking of trying one with several short pieces of aluminum tube, telescoped, so the head looks more like a normal light, kinda, sorta. Don't know if I would do that though, as it would only add to the labor and the overall cost.

Well put Dan. While we're at it a real motivator as well.

It’s always a pleasure to watch what O-L is going to come with.

Nice Job !

Great Beam Shoots…
