XHP50.3 HI 4000K, 6V 4A driver, 20° beaded optic, Sapphire glass from esslinger, the larger convoy switch with a custom printed spacer, black button and clip.

I'd still like to find another clip I like better, but so far I keep coming back to the press on convoy clip. Before this setup I had a Dr. Jones H17Fx with XHP50.3 HD and OP reflector. That setup went into an S8, which I think suits it a little better.

looks great, thanks for sharing your mods

for future reference, I buy sapphire lenses for under $10 here.. Considerably less expensive than the Esslinger options.

Wow, thanks, that is much cheaper. I might put them in a few more things at that price.

Nice setup. Maybe an obvious question, but do you ever use this light on 100% and how does it do with heat management given the wattage and metal? Thanks!

Just for short bursts. It really is too much for the host. 33% is good though.
