I’m new here and sorry for my bad English
to the point, i had a motorcycle with LED Projector (from Toyota Camry) but unfortunately it is only low beam. And i’m thinking to use Flashlight head as a high beam
Currently i have Solarforce K3 Head (just arrive and i did not test them yet)
My question, is SF K3 series is the right choice ?
any suggestion for other candidate (with good throw with good spill) ?
Thank You
If you drive that bike on the streets - don’t make that.
You will be blending all other drivers, which is extremely dangerous.
Car and Motorbike headlamps cut off the light that goes up - so blending is acceptable, but a flashlight won’t do that.
Pardon me
but high beam usually light above horizontal view right ?
this pattern
Yeah L4M4, but street legal high beams do blind others as well and don’t cut off the light on top. That’s why you switch to low beam if someone is in front of you. 
I wound’t mind much about the legal issues, especially in Indonesia (I guess)…
The K3 gives you a very floody beam, I’d go with a little bit more throw, so you can see further.
Yes, you are 100% right about legal issues:D
i will use it occasionaly, even my horn only push less 5 times a month (i don’t like to disturb other with sound)
i saw it here, for me its have good throw 100m forward maybe enough for me
So K3 still flood ? Do you have another suggestion ?
The light from your link is modded and has ~twice the output of the stock light.
Are you going to use the light with batteries or do you want to hook the head up to the motorcyle electrics?
If you already got the head, just try it out, maybe it throws enough for you…
Opps 4.4Amps ?!
I will hook it to motorcycle electricity
Ok, tonight i will try to power it to see it perform 
I take this picture last night, Using Nikon 1 J2; F 3.5; Iso 400; Exposure time 1/4s
Top => Solarforce K3
Bottom ==> My scooter high beam (Mazda CX5 Projector with 35Watt HID)
Looks like what Fricklefrak says its true, i need more throw :bigsmile:
Is that worth to mod this K3 or Better change to another type of flashlight ?
Are you wanting to turn the K3 (or whatever else) on at the same time as the low beam (have them BOTH running for high) or only one or the other at a time, either high or low?
I think [if your wanting them both on at the same time] the K3 can do what you want. You can use a soldering iron right?
If you are only using your HID for high beam (not sure you can turn if off and on fast enough for that though), you can just remove the cut-off shield. I've see a few teardowns on-line and they all seem to have removable shieds. The one here as one screw holding it in place.
I forgot to tell that my current bike i working out is KLX140 with only have led projector as low beam (no high beam)
I put this scooter bike high beam as reference, my goal at least my KLX140 highbeam near this scooter (bixenon) HID highbeam
Yes, not very good but i can play with soldering
Should i try dedome those led to make it more throw ?
or just push those led with higher current ?
Both would be best, but the MT-G2 is really tricky to dedome and you can easily damage the phosphor layer.
If you break the LED you can put another one in there. The new cree XHP50 would be a good candidate and would give you more throw at same output, but it’s not available yet…
I have MT-G2 4000K as spare and try to dedome
yep, i’m stupid enough to remove all those yellow thing (phosphor?)
even tiny wire i remove it too :_(
As for modify current, how it done ?
i seethose heavy modK3 use different led driver
Have you tried the dedomed LED? Looks like there’s some phosphor left…
Post some pics of the driver, probably there is a current sense resistor, you need to lower the value of that by adding a resistor (or more).
Just tried it with 5mA current and 1amp still running no problem
What purpose those tiny wire inside emitter ??? :~
But turn to violet color to my eye :8)
So inside MT-G2 have 66 small emitter
If it’s blue now, you can buy an already dedomed MT-G2 from James:
FS: De-Domed XML2 XPG2 XP-L and MTG2 on 16/20/26/31mm Copper DTP MCPCB’s
I would probably try to dedome the LED from the light (let it get really hot and then gently try to pull the dome off) and if that doesn’t work, buy a dedomed one…
Well i have try it first, since i still have one left
This is my best for doing dedome, had test it ==> YES, Now its YELLOW
Hope i can take outside beam shoot tonight
Nice job on the dedoming!
That looks really clean, how exactly did you do it?
Wow tjeret, that is probably the best MT-G2 dedome I have ever seen (Post 17). Congrats :)
Not sure about that wire you mention. Maybe for electrostatic discharge protection? Just a guess.
EDIT: If you post a picture of the driver, we might be able to help you mod it to higher current levels.
