Dang, that centering ring suggestion might’ve been the right thing to do, but too late :)!!
I already went in a different direction:
- I switched the emitter/star to another one that had, I think, an XB-D or something, and found a different reflector off of an parts light, a “Police 3W”,but the tint was way too purple again.
- So, I removed the emitter from the star, and re-flowed a Nichia 119 (from a bunch I bought from texaspyro awhile ago (Nichia 119's for cheap (also Cree XLAMP-7090's)))
The light is pretty bright now, and beam seems to be ok, and I like the Nichia 119 tint.
I have another 2 of the “Prairiefire” lights, and I still have that reflector that I ground down, so I’ll try to find a centering ring and see how that works in one of the other lights.
Thanks,
Jim
