You should really try to do the kaidomain 86mm reflector Courui D01 mod
LinusHofmann came up with it & it is just one of the most epic “cheap” massive thrower mods you can do.
I don’t know anything that beats it that we can build from scratch & it is a a proven design by FmC ![]()
And the best part is you can reuse most of your really well modded Courui D01, and make it MUCH throwier ![]()
If you upgrade the led to a XM-L2 U4 1C you get about a 7% improvement over the U3 you have now, or if you use the XP-G2 S4 you can get a bit higher still but with less lumens & spot size.
The XP-G2 S4 + 86mm reflector could almost double the possible kcd from what you have now.
If you get an extra mcpcb, you can drop in the XP-G2 for example, to see what you prefer.
And the UF-1405 or UF-1504 is a very fun & quick mod for a solid 400kcd in a aspheric lens light
UF-1504 is easier because you can use normal FET drivers. The UF-1405 need 17mm high amp buck drivers & those are not available yet, but RMM will probably sell some in the future ![]()
