Very nice as usual, just watch out with the XP-G or XP-E and that driver two cells. With the DX's boost modded as you did, not even as drastic because only added one 220 miliOhm in parallel totalling around 80 ... first XP-G got shorted , the XP-E just was open.
After a lot of curse did what should be did at first, puting a 3.3 Ohm as a load the measure was 3.9 V , 1,2 A ,not much current but obviously the V forward was to much...Cree say 3.75 V max
Hehe...yup. I love the look of copper, and wish it was used more. Unfortunately this copper slug will be hidden in the light. Glad it's not just me who likes it :)
I got one of these and it's just as bright on a couple LSD AA's as an MRV on high. Very similar reflector frontal area. Tint is pretty white and high temp.
Really good deal if you want a thrower that runs off low voltage batteries.
Part 2 has been done for awhile now, but I've been (and still am) on vacation so it'll have to wait till I get back. I'd be too tedious to post from my cell phone :)
