Luckyshot Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 You could try measuring the lens first and replacing it with a suitable aspheric one. That is a cheap mod and will give you a smaller tighter beam with a bit more distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 If the torch/flashlight is non focusable,i.e fixed if you fit an aspherical lens beware the focal length of the lens in relation to the led,if not set correctly no point.....

True but very easy to get around depending on how much extra length is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Change the LED as well. the XML is to big. more for a flood type, not so great as the thrower. look for somethin like a XP-e R2 but it will need a lens swap out to get the focus. as the others have said. back focal length is the key.

evo Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 if you want my honest opinon,i wouldn,t bother, get yourself a ultrafire 501b and modify that,,its smaller,lighter and the distances you can get with it are bordering on insane for such a small torch best wishes Evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Hey, sorry to hijack the thread guys looking at a 501b myself but finding the mods a bit mind boggling frankly. Karpman It's not fair to de-rail this thread - but I've put a reply to this post in my 'modified LED lamping torch' thread. The shopping list and instructions are all there if you can be interested enough to go back a few pages and read them. I'll even go back and put fresh links in for you. EDIT: In fact being as you are in Leic's PM me as I have all the stuff you need and can show you or do it for you.
