@hitoakge asked about my current loupe light (wich is a modified version of this: YND headlamp) via pm. I thought I’d answer here, as it might be interesting to others too.
I did ask Mr. Liu from YND about the LED before I bought one - he told me it was an XP-G2 and I later confirmed that when I disassembled the light.
The stock LED driver is inside the battery housing and when I changed to the AK-47A I 3D printed a new housing for a single cell.
The light handles 1A reasonably well - I measured a maximum of 82°C on the housing - I added some thermal paste to spread the heat better as there was some hard white stuff with bubbles under the led and no thermal paste on the threads of the optics. I guess I’ll have to exchange the LED much earlier than usual but that’s easy.
I ordered a 20mm buck driver limited to 1A that’s using NarsilM firmware from @lexel and plan to print a 2x18650 or 2x21700 housing for it.
The current housing looks like this:
the beamshot in the middle is the one from the YND light at 45 cm distance. The right one is with the new driver but different optics.
