Hi all,
I have an old UK 1200 which was a great light. I dropped it and broke the housing that holds the actual lamp. I fixed it fairly well but I've discovered the focus is off. The corona is quite bright with a now darker center. In my musings of fixing it I found a guy who DIY'd an LED lamp configuration. Check this link to see it:
UK1200 dive light converted to hex Cree xre Q5
I would LOVE to do this to mine, but the thread is 3 years old and I haven't been able to find out how he did what he did or if there is a better way to do it now. Anyone ever do anything like this and be able to pump out 1100+ lumens?
