| My first LS 5W |
Impetuous newbie modder that I am ("I Yam whut I Yam"), I could
not resist putting my newly-received 5-watt cyan Luxeon into a Legend
LX and driving it directly off two fairly used 123 lithiums. I followed
McGizmo's advice and modified the stock reflector, because the collimator
actually gave a much more diffused and image-laden beam: As it turns out, this was actually an underdriven mod, as evidenced by
a cool and happy junction temp that never got above 97 F, and yet it still
threw out an impressive 699 footcandles and handily outblasted several
1-watt Luxeon standard bearers: I can only imagine the volume of light this thing will put out when OVERdriven
at 7.5V (coming up next!)...
