Not a waste at all, hint -> dedoming…
I know “transplant” is rather a long shot. I have not even measured the size for fitness. Having come to terms with my “involuntary LED slaughter,” think about how I can get the most out of it.
Mouser serves me well on parts. When I was ordering parts already, adding on another item is like free shipping for that item. Do you have a suggestion for known-to-be-real supplier for XML2.
Thanks

Mouser serves me well too. They are amazing. I’ve spent so much money there I got a call from one of their sales reps a few years ago offering to buy me dinner and discuss my business. :bigsmile:
In the US Ham Radio world, Mouser is the #1 “go-to” place for components and has been for decades. I would suppose they are equally good with flashlight-oriented components too. Quality and value are a mind-set which usually makes it across-the-board when it’s there, and with Mouser it is there in a big way.

you NEED to de dome it .there is nothing else possible and certainly nothing that the best modders on the forum are saying to you other than …DE-DOME it
If TOM E says de-dome it …i think by law you have to .
if it’s good enough for cree to start doing it’s a good thing …> martha stewart says … it’s a good thing …
olight agrees
Mr mouser says …Just de dome it .
in 2016 your new years resolution should be to de dome it …
NIKE says … just do it
De-domed (first of the three lens-damaged one).
Awesome. The beam is narrow and the reach is awesome. After the silly move of using goo-gone without thinking, this time, I reached for my “perhaps fake” Cree with damaged lens - to work out how to de-dome using my less valued LED.
With such awesome reach, I will certainly de-dome my Mouser supplied Cree next.
I think I want to keep at least one light with this kind of reach… I think I will need more hosts!
