The purpose of this post is to point out that this reflector can be used as an aftermarket alternative in mini mag builds(for folks not into TIR technology). I have to admit that a proper reflector adds a lot of allure to most lights. We start off with a lot of measuring and math. The maximum component stack height I allow for twisty use in incan heads is about 0.85 inches.
All those chicken scratches tell me the component stack is just too tall. Since lens, MCPCB, and reflector are all fixed heights, the needed space must come out of the pill height. I measured the needed vertical space for the single mode boost driver I was using and filed down the back of a p60 pill to minimum needed space. Some quick dremel work gave me my driver mounting inset back.
The top of the pill also needed some file work so the reflector lip would settle directly against the driver board. The yellow stuff around the driver is kapton tape for driver/pill isolation. The driver is the 800ma single mode from Fasttech (maybe 500ma from one alkaline/eneloop cell?).
The pill settles deeply into the head and some extra tall aluminum strips helps center the reflector.
The reflector is just barely wider than the ID of the bezel opening but centers just fine. The emitter is actually centered, it just looks off.
This reflector throws a very pretty beam. Brightness is no doubt compromised by the stock plastic lens.
That's all I've got,
