New build. Monster 9 amp MTG-2 or bust. Updated post 66, 21.1.14

The following is a few links to the components used. I would like to take the time to thank the members here who sent me parts an advise on some of the parts to use.

The lens came from ebay. It was a 74mm massa multi coated lens. I wasn't sure what I would end up with but it turned out to be nicely coated and 2mm thick.

The reflector came from DX. I have read reports that some members have received poor ones. The one I received was fine. It is advertised as being for an SST-90 led.

The rubber switch boot came from FT. The rubber nub was cut to length to suit the switch.

The switch is a 10 amp Judco which was sent over by a member here. l'm not sure which one it is.

The driver came from LckLed and did not work. It worked fine on a XML before the 9 amps killed it in a millionth of a second. With the MTG-2 it would only operate on low. It did not matter what voltage was fed to it from a bench power supply. The light has been fitted with the IOS driver that has its own problems but it is up and running.

This is a close up of the led and isolator. It was machined from a piece of 25mm black plastic or teflon that was kicking around and so far has not melted. The step for the reflector is 1mm in depth with an overall thickness of about 2.5mm. The reflector does have a very few minor imperfections around the led opening but I don't believe it will affect the beam at all.

A few different shots of the assembled light. With 26650 Trustfire batteries installed all up weight is 3.5Kg. This will be slightly higher whenever I can get 32650 batteries.

The next couple of pictures are with the HD2010 for a size comparison of the reflector size.

Finally for now is a comparison of different reflectors with MTG-2 leds. A shootout will be coming soon.
Left to right, top to bottom. OL Maglite custom build. Defiant 3C Armor Max. Defiant 3C super Thrower. This light.
The following night shots are not to show the brightest light as all these lights all have different drivers, but more to show the effect of different reflectors on the MTG-2 led. All pictures are a lot darker than they appear in real life to better show the hot spot of each light.
Firstly is the stock HD2010 for a comparison with a XML-2 led in a common light.
Stock standard Trustfire TR-3T6. My only multi emitter light.


OL Maglite MTG-2.


Defiant 3C Armor Max MTG-2.


Defiant 3C Super Thrower MTG-2.


DX reflector MTG-2. This reflector has the most conventional light pattern of all the different lights here. It has a very distinct hot spot.
Mouse over. DST. Mouse over this light.
Thats it for now. l did not really achieve what I set out to do but I'm happy with the reflector. It almost turns this led into a thrower. I'll use it the way it is for the time being and maybe, who knows, this may very well end up with a 5 amp driver in it as well. IOS does not stock my favorite driver anymore so the hunt is on for another.
Thanks for reading.
I've just added some sling mounts to the light and while it was apart I took a shot of the isolator.
And a couple of shots of the sling and mounts. I bought two slings awhile ago for a couple of dollars each. I believe they originally come from a picnic basket. The mounts themselves were made from a piece of 6mm flat aluminium and are about 20mm in height. The cap screws holding them on are 3mm.
