It went into a pewter-colored Brinkmann Legend 2AA body tube, capped on either end by the head and tailcap from a black Legend 3AA. Accented by the contrasting black rubber grip in the middle, it makes for one striking little light.

Onto the top copper plate of the pill I Arctic Silver'd a white batwing LS that did not quite make the cut in the recent LGI build, and voila! The Tuxedo Illuminator was born:

I put it up against a couple of other lights similar in size, and left to right here are the Tuxedo Illuminator, Arc-SLS, and MiniMag souped up with a NexStar lamp; both the Arc and MiniMag are sporting Kroll tailcap switches:

But the surprising thing about the spiffy little Tuxedo was that it handily outshone the Arc, and both out-whited and out-hotspotted the incandescent MiniMag:

But appearances can be deceiving, especially with a subpar (by LGI standards) Luxeon, so naturally I had to see for myself and light metered the Tuxedo vs. the Arc:

Arc-SL 244 lux

Tuxedo 349 lux

This Tuxedo Illuminator outperforms every other 2AA Luxeon light I have ever tested. Keeping in mind the first LGIs I ever built were only making 450-500 lux, it kinda gives you an idea of just how good the Luxeons are that made it into the latest LGIs...and how efficient Lambda's circuit really is.
