No didn't need to shim the SSC when used with the optic or indeed with the reflector although I think I did shave a little bit off the reflector so I'd have no donut.
I must admit it is quite funny to see the reaction when somebody is using a minimag to look for something and then I...

It would be nice if the circuit that Gunner12 found would fit but I suspect it is too tall and I think you'd have to do some modding to the tailswitch and spring to get the extra space needed...
Nice light! I so wanted one of these a couple of years back when I got started but it never came together. Since then I've built many a small light based on the micro pill and its successors. A straight swap with a SSC is probably the easiest way to get more lumens but if your adventurous you...
