oRAirwolf is compiling a nice list for you, haha.
Components:
- Pill (with reflector and springs)
- LED on MCPCB
- Driver
Tools:
- Hobby Clamp
- Heat Mat
- Soldering Iron w/sponge or wire-ball
- Solder (63-37 is eutectic. aka easy to use)
- Pliers
Your minimum CRI makes it a bit hard to find for LED MCPCBs but there's
this from intl-outdoor which is pretty much the cheapest XM-L2 NW 16mm I could find. (No idea of CRI)
smooth and OP pills from FT
2.6A 3/5 mode single-cell 2-grp driver also from FT.
3.04A 4-grp driver from intl-outdoor.
You might want to practice soldering if this is your first time.
Basically,
- Thread wires through the brass pill holes. (on the side that the driver will fit)
- Solder wires to CORRECT terminals on the LED MCPCB.
- Add fujik, or similar thermal silicone to the hollow section of pill and a tiny smudge on below the LED MCPCB.
- Press fit driver into pill. (you may have to do some twisting so that wires don't stick out the other end)
- Solder small spring on to inner contact pad.
- Connect the outer pads to the brass pill with solder.
- Add the circular paper washer sticker thingy on top of the LED. (after a centering ring if there is one)
- Screw reflector on.
- CAREFULLY use a small screwdriver to centre LED if it didn't come with a centering ring.
- Add larger spring to brass pill (just push it in)
I'm suprised someone hasn't made a photo walkthrough.
Good luck.
