Nice to know how you got it apart. I might want to put a bigger LED in mine some time. I think triple optics does improve performance, but it must be tricky to do with such a small light.
To me, the nice thing about that light is that it is the only cheap light available with lighthouse-like optics. What you did with it is very nice, but I would have started with a better shaped host.
How about beam shots?

I’ll try and take some beam shots sometime. There’s a lot of light pollution around my apartment so I might have to go to the bike trail nearby. I was originally going to make the light in a convoy host, but wanted to do something different. I personally like the shape, and it’s a solid light. It would definitely be an easier job without a zooming style light though.

Nice work. A big chunk of copper is fun to drill through, isn’t it?

Thanks! It was a new experience, that’s for sure lol. Since I was just doing it manually with a cheap drill bit, it seemed like I wasn’t drilling the copper out, but moving it to the top of the hole and fusing it there instead.

Very very nice work. One day I will get into the triples scene…

Thanks! The only other multi-LED light I have is the 3xXML2 FS-King I bought from OldLumens. That is a beast.
