Cheers!
I decided, that I have too less beefed up flashlights - so I firstly ordered some triple XP-G2 Noctigons and got inspirated by another thread.
The first Mod is a standard-King (one of the fake XP-L ones from FT) on which I did a spring Mod: King Spring mod - What do you think? because it will be driven by the King FET driver from RMM.
First thing: I realised that my lathe is way too small for 65mm*100mm material ![]()
If it looks stupid, but does work, itās not stupid.
Takes a while and the surface looks awful, but it works.
finished pretty nicely:
Meanwhile, the LEDs arrived:

Pill glued into place with Arctic Alumina - the LEDs are just for testing the currect height
I ordered some optics (could swear that I have 6 lying around here somewhere, but I canāt find them) and will order the driver, then my 12*Nichia King has a bigger brother ![]()
The next Project - inspirated by this Post by Cloner: COB LED Flashlight?
I have a TR-J20 aka āThe Plungerā for a long time, but rarely use it.
So, I choose this one to mod - with a NW 100W LED (extremely nice btw. perfectly NW, no greenish or yellowish tint and a good CRI).
So, first, the 12 XM-Ls had to go:
Then, I took that 65mm aluminum from the King mod and chopped another spacer off it:
A fitting groove in the head - so that itās aluminum-to-aluminum and also sits 100% central (And the surface wasnāt that even before)
The LED is a bit too big - but I donāt have bigger material than 65mm (On this pic, the LED isnāt glued on)
It lives ![]()
Head (of course) heats up very quickly, which shows me that the thermal path is good.
Lok at it. LOOK AT IT! Thatās what I call a flooder ![]()
For this light, I too need a driver. I will go for the āLed Senser Xtreme R.2ā - then this light should have an output around 75W.
Or if someone has a good driver solution, Iām open for all ![]()
So far - Now I have to wait for the drivers (But first, I have to wait for the money to buy the drivers :P).
Canāt wait to see both in action.
